Hell's Kitchen

There's no one like You
There's no one like You
There's no one like You Jesus

Are we waiting for Jesus to come? How are we waiting for Him? Are we looking over our shoulders every time a whisper about the end of days comes our way? We are all ready to be taken out of this sinful world, away from these sinful people. Really how are we waiting for Jesus? Are we trying to live out religion by doing everything "right"? Are we staying away from the danger zones for the sake of our purity. God calls us to protect ourselves from the fire of the world, but there is a place for adventure. Maybe we do not all have the same personalities and destinies, but we all have one calling: to love God with all our heart, soul and mind. I think we can love Him with more but we do not even know it there is any more.
Recently I went into a danger zone and I got burned, bad, at least by "my" standards (I mean God's standards). I could not look myself in the face, I just couldn't. But out of that place, I have come to recognize even the scent of sin, and Christ's place as the One who died on the cross. How can we expect to live out perfect lives? Maybe it's possible to live perfect lives if we live by our standards, if all we do is read our Bibles and stay among our "good" Christian friends. I'm not calling anyone out; stay in your comfort zone until you are ready. I can tell you from experience that it does not feel good to fail. If you fear failure, stay in your rooms. But if you know you serve a Living God, ask Him to prepare You. Maybe you will go in too soon or ill prepared like I did, but at least you would have taken that step in faith.
Once again, I am not calling any one out. Only the Spirit of God can do that. If I'm wrong, you'll feel nothing when you read this, but if I'm right, you'll know.
