I’m a Good Person

Talking to God he spoke to me about my role in helping to open the eyes of the blind and I kind of felt he was saying not just of non-Christians but also of Christians who maybe interpret the Bible in their own way, to suit them or not to cause upset (the whole political correctness agenda I suppose). I feel strongly about the whole “Gay” issue and how many Christians sit on the fence or fail to address God’s word on this subject (anyway that’s a bit of an aside, I just want to open blind eyes to our amazing God).

–

So here it is, you do not go to heaven just because you think you’re a good person

You do not go to heaven because you try hard, say nice things, give to charity

And why do you put such an emphasis on what happens after life?

Look around and see the strife and animosity, the inconsistency and dishonesty that is rife, the pain and suffering brought on by human plundering

Open your blind eyes, unlock your closed heart, isn’t it time you started to see what Jesus died for, what Jesus wants for you now, not when you die?

Why would you not want joy and peace, love, a release from anxiety, freedom, happiness, trust and solace, an escape from this lawless world?

Praise be to God I have been called out of that darkness into the light, my eyes were useless and my mind was blind, but now I see all the beauty he has in store for me

Restoring me to the role he planned for me.

He is the light of the world, believe in him and you are no longer in darkness, just look to see what God can do

He is the lamp, he turns your darkness into day, He hears your prayers

He is never blind, He sees your tears, He knows your fears, why wait? 

Have faith, seeing light with your heart when all your eyes see is darkness

His promise stands, blessed are those who have not seen yet have believed,

This is how I perceive his promise –

Man says show me and I’ll trust you,

God says trust me and I’ll show you,

He knows you’ll find that hard, but blessings await those who trust him

Let your light shine before others

Glorify your Father in heaven

Make your confession,

Jesus Christ is Lord and King,

And in his suffering I know he died to set me free

I claim His victory and get down on my knees

Confess that he is the supreme majesty, Jesus, son of God who died for me.
