It's amazing how God can change this pile of rags into a beautiful masterpiece. It's amazing that through all our faults God can still create something of worth. God has shown me a few of things I've traded. It is because of it that I am where I am. I've cut my looses and chosen certain dreams and gone for it for, ignoring other dreams. If asked the question would I change the past I would say I wouldn't change a thing. In reality we can't do everything we have to make a choice of what we want, and my choices have lead me here.
One important thing God has taught me is that we can't make ourselves truly happy which very near the top of my list. In Grade 12 we studied Ecclesiastes and I have tried and will continue to try to follow it's advice to us humans. It's advice I believe can be summed up in chapter 12
13 This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.
Something God has taught me is that you can't make yourself follow this advice, you can't make yourself rules or structure that will make you follow this advice, because that is just another attempt to make us robots which doesn't work. The new testament plan involves hardly any rules and structure. I believe it involves wanting to truly listen to God and follow his guiding which will involve tons of mistacks on our behalf which is part of God's plan for us humans (you can point out tons of examples in the disciples). He longs to help us out. He longs to pick us up. He longs to save us from ourselves. If we would only ask.
So God I pray that you would save us.
