Where will you end up?

   Have you ever seen the signs in the mall that say "You are here" with a map surrounding it? Don't you wish we all had a map that could point us in a direction of where we wanted to go? There is a direction pointed out for you already by God. Then comes along the question, "Do you believe in Fate?" Fate is when there's a reason for everything, from meeting the love of your life, to picking a certain pencil off the ground. There is many ways to approach this and fight it from either side. In the bible it says that God has a plan for each and every one of us and it's layed out. He knows his sheep and his sheep know him, he knows who will follow him, and who won't. I believe also that not everything happens for a reason, there is a deadly thing known as the devil who can kill us physically, emotionally, and meantally. Sometimes things just happen, but God makes it out for the good in our lives and we learn from it, because that is what christians are supposed to do. We cannot escape evil and it's nasty clutches completely. I believe we bring evil into the world through sinning, but there is only one human who has lived a perfect life then died and lived to tell the story. We cannot stop from sinning completely, but we can reduce by following Jesus and his teachings. In the bible it also says that a sin such as murdering has as much effect and consequence as something as simple as stealing. On the day when we are all standing before him and our lives are being examined you and I will be judged on how we lived our life. Were you devoted to following christ? You can be as kind. loving, and sweet as the next guy, but if you have not been buried in baptism giving your life up to Christ, then it really doesn't matter how many kind acts you do. Yes, being kind and loving is apart of being a christian, but take that big step on becoming devoted so you too can enjoy the power, love, and inspiration you get from being a follower of Christ!
    Where do you want to be when your time here on Earth is up? Maybe Jesus will come in our lifetime, or maybe not, only God knows.  I know people always say, "There's always tomorrow!" What if tomorrow is the day where Jesus comes back to Earth? Will you be ready?
"No one knows about the day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come... What I say to you, I say to everyone: 'Watch!'" Mark 13:32-37
