When I was about ten years old, I got my very first video game for Christmas. I remember what it felt like, getting that game. It was an indescribable happiness. I finally had what I had been looking for. It was wonderful. A couple years past, and that game went from an obsession to a lost memory. I lost the game, and ended up buying some other ones instead. I didn't really care. I didn't even want the game anymore.

Anyway, almost three years ago, I was at one of my best friend's house. And we were playing Halo 3 on his XBox 360. Well, I was digging through his game collection, and I found the game. It was just like I remembered it being, but this feeling was different. I didn't really realize how much I needed that game, until I gave it away. I'm sure you're wondering where I'm going with all this. Well my relationship with Jesus was the same way.

I met Jesus, jumped on the Christian bandwagon. But it was sincere. I completely loved Jesus with all my heart. But as the years passed, I started to venture into other things: girls, money, media, etc. I lost him. I truly lost him for those couple of preteen years I spent venturing into the sinful side of the world. But it wasn't until last year that I truly understood how much I truly need Jesus in my life. It was like running into a fresh-water river in the middle of the Arabian desert. You finally understand how thirsty you are for the Gospel.

Jesus had been waiting for me to come back. He was there watching me the whole time. I just had to make the decision to come back to his arms. If you've been through a similar experience, or maybe you're going through it. Please turn back. Pay attention to the hunger of your soul, listen to the words of your heart. Return to Jesus Christ. His grace is unconditional. He's waiting. He's desperately wanting to cover you in the sweet aroma of his blood. He wants you to understand this whole "Christian" thing. You don't have to keep running away. Look to Him. John 3:16, Galatians 4:7. You're a child of God. Return to your father. God bless you, may his words speak into your heart, Amen.

Just thought I'd take some time to talk about my performance today. I was really unsure and nervous about the whole deal, but I must've prayed at least 5 times before performing. I think that I gave it my best, but more importantly, God did his best through me. And a lot of people from my school were there, so I'm sure that the whole event must've changed a lot of people's perspectives on me. My biggest goal is to be an everday Christian, and not just a Sunday morning Christian. Plenty of churches have plenty of those kinds of people, and frankly I think that God is kinda tired of seeing Sunday morning Christians. I think that we all should be living for Christ 24/7 no matter what people say about us or think about us.
