Jesus! He is the real thing!

I wonder what makes a person settle for the fake, the artificial ?  Why would anyone want to carry a fake designer bag? Let's say it is a good fake, barely noticeable , why do you want it?

Let's say you are not financially able to afford such an extravagant item, why must you pretend to? Are you trying to impress someone?  Are you trying to feel better about yourself?  What is it about you that keeps you from the "real thing"?

Do you have a bone to pick with the world, your female friends?  Were you deprived as a child, made to feel poverty stricken? Were you made to feel unworthy of GOD's gifts, His Goodness?  Were you told that you were just a "luddle black bastard"?  Were you told every day ; "You ain't SHIT!"?

Did the same person that raped, abused, and tortured you daily,  further confuse you by hauling you to church every Sunday?  Did your secret closet tormentor hold you hostage in a church for at least twelve hours every Sunday for eighteen, twenty, thirty years in a row?

That type of "Christian" has a form of godliness.  She is insincere.  She knows the words by heart, can recite them.  They just don't mean anything.  She is so dishonest, so untrustworthy she will not dare trust GOD.

I don't want a fake designer bag.  As a matter of fact I carry an extremely expensive handbag.  I have many designer handbags.  To be fair, I am old.  Still, I do not want anything artificial.

I used to accept fake and phony before I realized I deserved better.

GOD is real.  GOD is love.  GOD wants you to have unspeakable Joy!  Any thing less than that is not real, it is not GOD.  Pray.  Seek the real thing.

Praise the LORD!
