The 1 question Dr Phil always asks is would u rather be right, or would rather have a fuitfull, happy relationship? He explains that u can't be both, unless ur having a relationship with urself.
God posed his me with a question this morning that's parallel to Dr Phil's: would u rather be righteous or right. Being right means 'this is how the world works and this is how you do it'. It means being in ur partner's, ur friend's, your parents's, your comunity's, your church's good books. Whatever it takes to be loved and accepted by them and by the world. Doing what is right and acceptable according norms and traditions of society.
Righteous? Well that just means being right with God. Being in His good books. Wait, God only has 1 good book. The book of life.
I think of myself as a Christian. I wonder...do i sometimes take my 'made in the image of Jesus' badge off to blend in with the image of the world?
Do i still walk past the guy lying drunk on the sidewalk cos everyone else does? Cos if i stop to check if he's ok people will stare and think im 'not quite normal'. Do i still have part in an indecent conversation with old friends so they wont think God 'borified' me? Do i stil say lmfao, or a more toned lol? I wonder...when i skip on the wwJd, do i do it because that's who i am or because im still trying to blend in with the world. With the people that surrounds me, the family i was born into by blood? Do i make right with them or do i make right with the family God blessed and connected me with
through His holy spirit?
Surely i cant have it both ways. Imagine God saying 'ok your heart has been good but ur body was weak. So let's punish u accordingly and send ur soul to heaven and ur body to burn' lol (or lmfao!) imagine that!!
When u realise what its about. That everything you do today impacts and decides ur ever after it is so easy to choose. Surely its insanity, swopping/risking forever in heaven for a few thousand rands, an orgasm, a few shots of tequila, giving your x's girlfriend/boyfriend a beatdown just because u dont like their face next to his/hers. Will u realy risk burning forever in hell for a few great night (that in any case comes with a crappy morning after)?
It's easier to decide when you know God's amazing love, forgiveness and comfort, i guess.
It's easier to choose to be righteous. To choose God. To choose heaven. It's the least u can do for youself. It's the least respect u can have for ur creator, the giver and keeper of your life. Lol, forgive me my friend, but i'd rather be in God's good books than yours. I'd rather be in the book of life. I'd rather spend forever in heaven. Please come there with me??!
