Been thinking a lot about starting my own blog for quite a while now but it was Ashley and her blog which really persuaded me into starting my own again. I used to blog from a gaming website for about 4 years but then i stopped after i had become bored with it. It wasn't that blogging wasn't fun but it was that i had begun to depend on gaming as a source for a lot of my happiness for many years. While gaming is fun and i still do play computer games sometimes, i have realized that it is a simple pleasure which cannot bring me true happiness. God has blessed me during my early years and now--as a follower of Christ. I have grown exponentially in the last few months in my faith and with that, i have become simply content with who i am and where i am. Yet i know that i am still very new in my faith and have much to learn. I am excited for that prospect to unravel though. I have struggles during each day but i feel connected to you Father, more than i ever have and happier than for that dependence. People now-a-days depend on many things, including, sex, alcohol and drugs for their happiness. While those things have never really interested me, i do long for at least the first one. If true happiness is to ensue, we must only depend on God. Not on things, relationships or even spouses, we must only depend on God and through that we may begin to understand and practice everything in our lives with a peace and happiness which is everlasting. I don't believe having meaningless casual sex or relationships which go nowhere is worth any of my time. God would have me love others in my singleness until the time he deems it appropriate to provide my wife. If people only knew what joy God can bring, this world would be less broken. It is by trusting in God which brings happiness to each individual. God provides a peace which cannot be described but can only be known if you give yourself to him. Learning to die for Jesus every day is a tough life but life without him is only heartbreak. The superficial relationships and frivolity of our modern culture leads only to destruction; destruction of happiness, destruction of the body and finally the destruction of the soul. A life lived for God, is a life worth living and thank God for giving his Son Jesus Christ!
"I protest, brothers, by my pride in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die every day!" 1 Corinthians 15:31
"Peace i leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." John 14:27
