What Are You Chasing After?

    I've seen how people chase things in life. Its like they're trying to fill their hearts with something to make them feel complete. They go chasing after money or clothes, video games, food, followers on Twitter/Instagram, fame, and/or even people. Anything to try to feel that void.

    No, I'm not saying you shouldn't like to play video games or buy clothes or eat food. I'm just saying... What is the true purpose behind it?

    Do you eat because you're hungry or because it comforts you when you feel alone? Do you play video games to entertain yourself or do you try to get your mind out of the pain you feel from this world? Do you buy clothes because you need new clothes or because you want to try to feel better about yourself showing off what you bought?

    Maybe you've tried to do all these things or maybe you're chasing after other stuff. But you should know by now that, That Is Not Working. That won't fill your heart. That emptiness you feel inside will never go away until....

You Accept Jesus Christ In Your Heart!

    God is all we need in this life. Once you accept Jesus, you will be a new creation, a child of the living God. He will always be with you and he will fill that void in your heart. You are complete in Him!

"So you also are complete through your union with Christ..." 

(Colossians 2:10)

If you want to take a life changing step today and accept Jesus in your life. You only have to do something really simple.

"If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God,

 and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved."

(Romans 10:9-10)

If you got to do what the verse says, then I personally welcome you to the family. The heavens must be throwing a party right now because you are priceless. God was waiting for you. He loves you!! 

This is just the beginning! 

Lose Years Of Life?

God gave us this temple we call "body" and people actually think that if we're overweight we will live longer.

Not!!

I asked 25 people(mostly teens) "Do you think you can lose years of life by being overweight?"

18 answered - Yes

5 answered - I don't know

2 answered - No

Think about it... If God planned that you will live (for example) 75 years. It doesn't matter what you do during that time lapse. You will live on earth the amount of time God planned for your life.

You get it? Good!

Now wait a moment!

That doesn't mean you can eat 5 pounds of ice cream and 10 hamburgers before you got to sleep and delicious krispy kreme donuts on the side(mmmmmm.. soo yummy).

    The question is... "how are you going to live those years?". Sure, you can go crazy and eat all you want. It won't change the amount of years you'll live, but do you really wanna live your years not being able to play catch with your kids or grandson/granddaughter because you can barely move? Or even get too sick because you didn't take care of your body when you were young? Of course not!

   I used to weigh 163 pounds and now I weigh 133. I'm still kinda overweight and I'm working on it. Believe me, it's not easy! I'm the kind of person that can gain a pound by just eating a slice of pizza. While my brother can eat a whole box of pizza and still stay the same weight. That kinda seems unfair to me, but thats my life. God is helping me get into shape by giving me motivation and being my strength. Again, it's not easy, but it's worth it!

Don't live a healthy lifestyle to gain more years of life cause that's not going to happen. Live a healthy lifestyle so you can feel good about yourself and enjoy the years God gave you on this earth.
