I am lost..what do I do?

As I got up this morning and thought about what had transpired the day before, I remembered looking at the clock...It was 1am before I got to sleep. It had been a day that I know I will remember for all of my life. As I reflected on the events that took place, and remembered the cold callused and unrepentant voice of the woman I was talking to...I cryed.

"God's wrath abides upon you" I said..."it's coming to your house".....she turned her back and shrugged her shoulders and raised her arms and hands up like.."oh well"

What causes a person not to fear God? To almost provoke his anger? Absolute ignorance to scripture, and no belief that his wrath abideth upon us for disobedience and scoffing.

Remember when you were a kid...and your dad told you "I'm warning you...put that cookie back"....He would give us that stern look...If we had not been spanked, we just would keep pulling the cookie out of the jar with a big grin on our face. I would be thinking.."man is this gonna taste good!!"

And then my father gets up, walks over to me, and spanks me for not listening to him and his warning. I not only lost the chance to taste the cookie, but got spanked while my hand was in the jar!! And that spanking HURT..man i cried for hours. I sat there looking at the cookie and could not understand why i couldn't have it. I looked at my father, tears rolling down my face, and he just shook his head, with that stern look on his face. I knew that I had done something wrong. It wasn't meant for me to have that cookie.

My thoughts go back to the woman i spoke to...she has got caught with her hand in the cookie jar too. Her father has yet to come to her and spank her. Then God spoke to me and said to me..."my will be done"...I truly believe that the spanking this woman will get is going to be a real lesson regarding the cookie jar. we cannot always have what we want. Sometimes the things we want are what our flesh wants. We act upon those desires, and cause huge problems for many members of our family.

Someone told me that our decisions effect others too...those who have their hands in the cookie jar are just being selfish...like me wanting that cookie. There are those who actually get the cookie out of the jar and eat it...only to find that it was sweet going down, and anguish once it got there to our belly.

Then we face the wrath of our father for disobedience. "It's not a problem..Ill just ask for forgiveness" God will forgive me wont he?..Yes, he will. And those that truly love you, and have the heart of God will forgive you too.

But God has also told us that there are consequences for sin, and that the decisions we make to yeild to that sin will sometimes affect us for the rest of our lives. One could truly say "I am lost..what do i do"?

Repent, ask forgiveness, restore your joy, and return to Christ..AT ALL COST
oh and by the way..keep your hands out of the cookie jar.
