The Price of Admission

I can not begin to tell you how many concerts or performances I have had to miss over the course of my life because I didn't have enough money for a ticket.  The fact is I have performed in plays that I could not buy a ticket to if I had to.

I would not call myself poor.  Struggling yes.  Like most people I came into the world struggling and more likely than not  I will leave struggling.  Perhaps a lot of it was my own fault.  I chose to become a teacher rather than a lawyer or doctor.  I chose to be honest rather than a cheat.  I chose to get rid of that worthless, ill tempered, narcissistic, low life, cheating, half gay  "husband".  I would rather be happy and broke than front with someone I grew to despise.

Like that Langston Hughes poem; "Life for me ain't been no crystal stair."  I am not complaining mind you.  I've been blessed beyond compare.  I'm still blessed.  Still reaping where I have not sown.  But, I know you can't get in anywhere if you don't have the price of admission.  Not unless someone comps you some tickets.

Jesus comps us some tickets! Praise the LORD!  If you want to get into heaven.  If you want to see Glory.   If you want to live life more abundantly you must have the price of the ticket.  The price you pay is goodness.  You must live righteously and honestly.  You must be a truth teller.

You can't get in being a phony sneak dressed up in a robe spouting scripture to impress the gullible.  Your ability to fool most people will not get you in.  Harboring secret hatred and jealousy just makes you smell.  GOD forbid that you "unrighteous walk" keeps anyone from GOD's Kingdom.

If your feet are swift to run to mischief.  If you delight in leading GOD's children astray, into captivity because you consider your cunning to be a desirable asset you are going to burn in hell.  As a matter of fact you are already burning in hell.  That's why you are miserable.  That's why you can't find any joy or satisfaction.  All the clothes, shoes, and so called friends and minions will never make you happy.  All your lies and mountains of deceit only succeed in making you feel worse.  You know You!  You know the real You.  You know better than any one the heavy burden you carry and try to conceal.  Name calling, lying, brutalizing and "root working" will not change any thing.

The best thing you can do is fall down on your knees right where you are.  Fall out prostrate on that cross and beg GOD to forgive you of your long list of sins.  Admit hat you have been nothing but an ignorant fool, a clown, an imp for the devil.  Do it now.  Do it while you still have time.  What are you waiting on?  Will you let the devil use you to prove to the world that he made you a total idiot?  Just how dumb are you?

The price of admission is free!  Salvation is free!  You can't steal or lie your way in.  There is only one way.  Don't claim to be walking up GOD's Highway when you know you are not.  Don't get fighting mad and rage with hate when you get caught up to your eyeballs in devilment.  Love the LORD with all your heart and mind.  If you can't do it, ask GOD why.  Ask Him why you keep deceiving yourself.   Ask Him why you can't love, can't say you are sorry.  Ask Him why you keep doing wrong when you want to do right.

Fast and pray.  Ask GOD to touch your heart with a finger of love.  Pray for those that fooled you.  Pray for those that told you being "yalla", big legged, "good hired" and deceitful was your ticket.  Forgive yourself for dishonoring yourself.  Come to the Truth.  Come to GOD's marvelous light.

GOD bless you!  Know that GOD loves you, forgives you.  You ticket is waiting.  All you have to do is pick it up.

Stay in His WORD children.  Remember;"Apart from Christ you are nothing."

May GOD's Grace, Mercy and Truth engulf you, cloak you and keep you in Perfect Peace,
