everything that lured me away. I am still struggling with a few but I am getting
better. Watch yourselves unless your heart is weighed down with dissipation and
drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a
trap. (Luke 21: 34) Do not be fooled by the treasures on earth for they will not
pass when you finally reach Heaven.
Now being in consolation, the opposite of desolation, I see and feel Jesus
again. I feel him more in nature than before. I understand what he is trying to tell
me again. My mission now, is to help you stay away from something that can ruin
your relationship with Jesus. You need to be aware of what is hurting you. I was once
in an addiction to being online. I separated myself from everyone and that was one
of the things that brought me to steer away from Jesus. It is important for you to
know that Jesus is your friend, your helper, your boyfriend or your girlfriend. He is
like God the Father, but you are able to relate more to him since he too was a child.
He was a teenager. He felt what we did. Jesus ran to his mother when he got hurt
just like we do when we feel sad, scared, or lonely. Being his friend can most likely
help you through any struggle, as well. All you must do is accept him. Accept the
fact he is begging you to hold his hand. He wants to be your friend and he wants for
you to know he is there. Jesus has told us: So do not fear, for I am with you; do not
be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you
with my righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10) He is there when you ask for him.
Jesus is a best friend that you can count on and know that he will remain loyal at
your side, as long as you give him the permission to be at your side.
Whenever you begin to doubt Jesus for any reason, stop what you are
thinking and feeling, and if needed, stop what you are doing. Take a second and
pray. Prayer may seem stupid at times, but the more prayers you recite, the more
blessings you may receive. Do not, in any case, abuse the power of prayer. An
example of abusing your privilege of prayer is praying to get a six-pack and look
muscular or thinner over night without even trying. Prayer, especially to Jesus, is
stronger than a prayer to God the Father. When you pray to Jesus, you are praying
to God the Son. He goes and tells his father of your prayers. Most fathers do not
deny their son, which gives that prayer more power.
When you leave this room, keep in mind that I was in that same spot you
were. I had a wonderful relationship with Jesus when I entered and upon leaving,
everything tore apart. Do not let that happen. Do not focus on what is of earth and
focus on what Jesus asks of you as a friend. He will respond but you must allow
yourself to see the response, even if it means having to do something reluctantly
like giving up video games. I want you to leave this room knowing he is there for
you whether you believe he is there or not. Reach out your hand and he will have
his hand right there already waiting. His doors are always open, what about yours?
Are you ready to go and accept Jesus challenge to you or will you coward out and
ignore him completely?
