The World's Best Kept Secret

You don't have to be 'good enough' to get to heaven or have friends. There is no such thing. Yet the world tries to make us be. You have to be skinnier, prettier, do better, be smarter, hotter, and more athletic. Lies! Lies! Lies! You were made perfectly in the Image of God.

Think of someone famous, they're not always praised. The world likes to build them up and then tear them down because their 'not good enough'.

There is NO such thing as good enough!

Let me tell you a little secret; there is No One perfect... accept Jesus Christ. It's only through Him that we can be as 'good' as we are. Satan loves; I mean loves it when we tear people down.

The world also tells us that to have the best life you have to have the guy or the girl, the money, the car, the best house or the job. No, those things are empty.

Being famous, wealthy or owning the best car isn't the life, as we like to say. The world tells us that's what life is all about. It's not! They're lying to us! They don't care about your relationships or your career they just care about your money. And if they have to lie to you to get it, so be it.

[Jesus speaking] "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money."
Matthew 6:24

Satan makes the world say these things to make it seem that these things are better than God. He wants them to seem more valuable so we get them instead of Christ. Satan doesn't stop there, he makes us want even more stuff to keep are minds off God.

Look at Tiger Woods? He had everything. Why would he want more? Because the world never stops telling him that he is not good enough, she's not good enough, it's not good enough. Now they have told the whole world of his mistake and how he is not perfect. Yes, he was wrong. I'm not saying he what he did was right.

Do not strive for earthly things, they promise pleasure, but they are worth nothing. Don't give into the lies of this world. Your true treasure, popularity, beauty and wealth are in heaven.

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain that which he cannot lose."
-Jim Elliot
To God alone be the Glory!
