Choose Jesus

We know that tribulations are with us throughout our lives here on earth.
It becomes obvious at an early age that death, lack/poverty, abuse in many forms, and general society mayhem are part of life.
Life may be sweet and lovely for a while but suddenly anger, loud voices, people physically fighting each other are revealed before our childlike eyes.
At school we hear about wars, people killing each other for reasons not understood.
Fire and flood are every present to drive us from our homes.
Many are the dangers we learn from an early age.
These tribulations have entered God's perfect creation by the free will of man who chose to not believe in God's ability to keep them entertained.
Man sought to find out what the animal in the Garden had to say about the God they walked and talked with in the evenings; who showed them complete Love and Trust.
God did not tell them to stay away from the animal in the Garden that would deceive them; He had given the two newly created humans free will to choose Him; so He told them "DO NOT EAT OF THE FRUIT OF THE TREE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GARDEN."
That's it. He didn't badmouth the devil. He just said, "Don't eat that fruit."
They were perfect the way they were.
They had all they needed to make a good decision. They actually KNEW God, personally.
Many were the conversations they had with Him.
We do this with our own earthly fathers. They warn us of dangers and types of people to avoid, but no, we run to the evil things and get hurt, burnt and abused!
Today we are subliminally bombarded with messages from the evil workers in this world; many of whom do not know they are being used. The money is flowing in, and they have their gain, so why worry about God and His Law!
But God's Holy Spirit is calling every soul to Jesus.
He says to us, "Jesus loves you and offers Salvation, Forgiveness, Redemption. Talk to Him. Eat no more of the offerings that evil parades before your eyes! Turn from your wicked ways. Receive Jesus into your life and all things will be made new for you."
