not at home

do you ever feel like this world is not a comfortable place to be?
do you ever look around and feel discombobulated or out of place while driving down the road? like there's more happening than your eyes actually see?
it's a kind of weird and unsettling feeling, like you're not sure what's reality and what isn't...
it's like being in another, unfamiliar country, not understanding the language or the norms... wondering how safe you are... wondering if something strange is about to happen...
you're not alone.
this physical earth is not supposed to be our home. we are just here for a little while. and while we're here, we have a choice: choose God, or choose Satan.
there is no in-between. there's no sitting on the fence... no middle of the road.
not choosing God IS choosing Satan.
Satan wants your soul. he wants you not to care, not to choose. he wants you to shrug your shoulders and say, 'maybe later.' he wants you to reject Jesus because you once met a 'Christian' who wasn't nice to you.
don't be that shallow. don't believe his lies. 'he was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. when he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.' (John 8:44) 'Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.' (2 Corinthians 11:14)
Satan's sole desire is to find a way to keep you from knowing God and the AWESOMENESS of life with Jesus, who is God's Son.
Jesus Himself said, "for my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.' (John 6:40) and 'if anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him.' (John 7:37-38)
the choice is yours. God or Satan. living water or unquenchable fire. God wants a relationship with you. Satan wants to destroy you.
either way, your home is not this earth. if you choose God, your true home is heaven, which is eternity with God in all His glory. if you don't, your true home for eternity is hell, an everlasting fire and the home of true evil.
we humans are creatures made for a different land, like foreigners in a strange world. our hearts and our souls know that we do not really belong here. Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, '[God] has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.'
somewhere in you, you know that this world is not the end.
eternity is waiting. where will you spend it?
please don't throw away your eternity in heaven. 
seek God with all your heart, and you will find Him.

Look Around.... and Praise GOD!!

1 Chronicles 16:25-27

For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;
     He is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the nations are idols,
     but the LORD made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before Him;
     strength and joy in His dwelling place.
