pick your truth

As of late I've watched two movies that included the element of time travel: The Butterfly Effect and Donnie Darko and both movies preach (nope, not taking back that word) that the world is a better place without you. Both of the main characters are presented with the opportunity of changing the past and both of them end up going back and killing themselves. Now what kind of message is that?! Why, o why do people use their lives to spread that kind of message? -a message in direct contradiction with God who says in Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you..."

1. God knew you, knew how you'd turn out and then chose to go ahead forming you, purposing you, choosing you! (the issue of abortion pops into my mind here..)

2. God formed you, YOUR LOOKS (yes, even your toes), your level of intelligence (roughly) and your talents (and lack of the same).

But now the choice is your's. Pick a truth to live after:

1. The world's a better place without you. Your life is only a source of pain to those close to you.
Effects of this option: hopelesness, apathy, self-loathing, hatred and spiritual sickness are some of the most common bi-products.
2. You've been purposed and there is a plan to your being. God loves you and intends for you to have a meaningful, exciting, honest and love-filled life and has also provided an ever open opportunity to enter into this life.
Effects of this option: hope, uncontrollable passion, healthy relations to God and those around you, maximum level of self-worth, absurd levels of joy, well-being, purpose, exciting spiritual events, spiritual battle and self-denial in areas involving your 'fleshly' desires are some of the most common bi-products.


Didn't mean to preach.. just couldn't help m'self. [smile]

"Joy to the world..."
