Living for God! By Kassie Knutson

Hebrews 9:28 says:

"So Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him."

This has been such an ecnouraging and exciting verse to me.  How awesome is it that we will live in eternity with Jesus one day?  I don't know about you but I can't wait!  But this verse also reminds me that our time here on Earth is short, and that each day given to us is a true blessing.  There are a whole lot of people in need of Jesus and it is up to us and the Holy Spirit to help lead people to Him.

One of my favorite bands, by the name of Ivoryline, has a song called "Broken Bodies", which I believe we can all relate with.  The chorus of the song is:

"Come back down, we're all ready now,
We're all drowning in our follies,
Broken hearts and broken bodies."

Yes we can all feel broken, but we shouldn't let that bring us down, because life is too short, and God's love is too big.  He has big plans for our lives and we may feel we are ready for His return but He will return when HE feels we're ready.  God's timing is and always will be perfect in all circumstances of our lives.  When He is with us, nothing can stop us.  So today I encourage you to give any fear, stress, pain, anger, sadness, or whatever may be pulling you away from God, to Him, so that you can live 100% for Him.
