I have chosen a new path to follow, even though it gets dark and blurry sometimes, even though a lot of people get scared to follow the path because it is scary and holds a lot of uncertainty, you don’t find many people on your way in that path, and it feels cold and lonely sometimes, but it is a calling, when God calls on you, no matter how long you play deaf or run away, when the time is due, you must answer his call. I have learned to trust God for giving me a fresh slate to start my life all over again and giving me another shot at his grace, I can never take that for granted as I was living on a very destructive path at a very high speed.

Yes, a lot of friends have been lost along the way, problems of lack of understanding of how fast I have changed have been an issue, most people think it is just pretense, others think it is just self-righteousness, but what can I do or say? I only have a mindset of gratitude now because I understand that for a new life to come into existence, an equal sacrifice of life must be made, as Jesus died on the cross of calvary for us to be given eternal life, so I have chosen to sacrifice my old self to die for the new me to rise in Christ. If I can sacrifice my old ways, things I thought were enjoyment or fun, my old ideas (everything I stood for or believed in are now mere illusions), all the people that I shared the same thought or goals with became strangers, I still love and care for the people in my old life but reality just happened to dawn on me that, this new me, can no longer accommodate the kind of things we did together, or the kind of conversations we had together.

Normal interactions we usually had has now turned into big misunderstandings and arguments, because of conflicts of interest and ideas, I no longer wanted or needed some things that I wanted before. It is nobody’s fault since I don’t know what transformed me so quickly as I can’t even explain it myself, but one thing I am sure about is that God awakened me for a purpose, and that purpose supersedes every other person’s expectation of how I am supposed to walk, talk, think, or act, those were part of the old me who went out of his way to behave how people expected me to act even if I didn’t like it, I am no longer trying to fit in, I am taking a chance with God and making a new path that I am sure I will never regret, the Bible tells me, that path leads to God’s eternal love and bliss. I am willing to risk losing any kind of relationship, or friendship, to serve my purpose for the expansion of God’s true gospel to spread across all nations.

Now I try to act according to the words that are written in the Bible and that is all that matters to me, pleasing God is my primary assignment and I have grown to understand that, in so doing, I now feel very light-hearted, I have his peace, grace, and love, I try to live a life of integrity and dignity in Gods context of these words, I am not perfect but I know that God is still working on me, if you ever knew me before and I wronged you, please forgive me so that God will forgive you too, if I ever hurt you knowingly or unknowingly, please forgive me.

If you have the will, God can come into your life and transform you too, no sinner is too dirty or filthy for God to cleanse, if he can deliver saul who persecuted Christians, what have you done that you think he can’t forgive and cleanse you?

Please take a chance with God, his grace will not wait for you forever, when you die, you run out of grace, which means you will face judgment without true repentance.

Will you be saved if you die or if the trumpet gets blown right now? There is a very real God, and a very real devil, don’t wait until you die to find out.
