My Beliefs

(April 5, 2000) I believe in God -- the Creator of the world, as told in the Holy Bible. I am educated enough to know that the Holy Bible is philosophically and scientifically correct.

But that is not enough. I have accepted the Bible as the truth, but I have not yet accepted Jesus in my life. My personal experiences convinced me that Jesus is loving and caring. And I know He is The Way.

Still, I grasp my sinful life, not willing to replace it with something profoundly better. Why? I don't really know. Nothing makes sense whenever I try to make an excuse. It is always easier said than done. Many times I said I would follow Jesus Christ, but I never truly put my heart into it.

I am a very lazy person. I promise everything and do nothing. God has a plan for me. If I don't wake up and face the truth, I think God will teach me the hard way. There will be obstacles on my path. I will lose my loved ones. And ultimately I will face my own death. Will I accept God by then? I better, before it is too late.

Right now I am taking things for granted, as if the clock doesn't tick, as if I will always have a second chance. I failed school, now I am failing my life every clock-tick on the way.
