LOST FOREVER !


I am continuing to watch LOST and loving it! I did a little GOOGLE Search just before the start of this latest season and found out that there will be something like 37 or so more episodes. That really makes me sad, but I know that these people cannot remain LOST forever! LOL!

I'm really not so sure about that! I've recently met some poor souls that seem as though they are lost and will most likely remain that way! It is so incredibly sad, that people aren't willing to take responsibility for the directions they have taken in life! These are fully able, yet they simply want to pass the buck, when it comes to troubles they experience in life.

So sad!

Looking back upon my life, I can see many things that brought me much discomfort. And even though there were many times I too would wish to blaim my problems on someone or something else, I ultimately know that I and I alone, am responsible for all the decisions I have made in my life.

Though loads of my life experiences were hard for me to endure, I can honestly say that I do not wish to go back in time and change a single event.

I'm sure that you have seen movies or read books about going back in time and changing the past in order to change the future. This would and ultimately could be reality, if going back in time were truly possible!

I purchased a DVD called "The Butterfly Effect" and I have watched it a couple of times. The first time, I found the content hard to watch. It had loads of abuses, immoralities and violence! The main character found out that he would experience spots of time that he could not recall. But during these episodes he experienced, he was somehow able to write a journal of each event. Of course, later in time (while in college) he found out that he could read his journals and they would take him back in time. Those around him during these times, would not see him actually leave, because somehow he actually never left.

Anyway, this guy would go back and forth many many times, because each time he would forget something, and that something usually caused more problems than the event that he remembered to change. One example, was when he took more responsibility for something than he should have and this caused his mother such grief that she took up smoking and wound up with cancer.

This is what I'm talking about folks. We can't remember everything that we wish to change, so it's best that we live this one life that we are given to the fullest, take responsibility for our own decisions, words and actions!

Ultimately we need to make sure that we truly believe in Jesus Christ (Who He was and is! He is our Creator!), that we are truly trying to live a life that's pleasing to Him and one that will not bring shame. At the end of this life, though we are forgiven of our sins and though these sins are erased from God's book of our life, He will be reviewing how we lived our lives after we came to the true knowledge of Him and His will for us.

Though we (believers in Jesus Christ) are not and never will be perfect, we will give an account for what we have done with this life that we were given. We will not be cast into Hell with those who refused Jesus, due to our flesh (because all have sinned, continue to sin and fall way short of the glory of God), we will be rewarded accordingly. Some will be rewarded greatly and others will receive little reward, but all (believers in Jesus Christ) will be received by God. Only those who refused and continue to refuse Jesus Christ, these will be sent to Hell and will suffer eternally in the Lake of Fire.

Why anyone would choose that, is beyond me?! But that is exactly what I am talking about here! We are all (individually) accountable and collectively accountable to one another and to God. Let us stop blaiming the world, our families, friends, and enemies (including Satan), for our choices in life! Sure, the Holy Spirit fills us but it is up to us as to His loving guidance. If you call upon Jesus to lead you with His Holy Spirit, He will answer! But it is ultimately our choice to follow His direction! He will not pull us by the hair and make us do what He wants or wishes for us! That's is why prayer and reading His WORD is so important!

We must all be careful of what we fill our eyes, hearts and minds with. Best to fill it daily with good things. We will see and expose our lives with bad things daily, but reject the bad and fill up on the good. We need to be renewed, refreshed and forgiven daily! Our bodies need food, water, work and rest daily! So also, we need that spiritual renewal, refreshing, and discipline daily as well!

Anyway, I think that I've rattled on long enough. Somewhat far from the subject of my favorite show LOST, but not too far really. This show is truly a mystery worth getting lost in and eventually solving and then it has to come to an end. Life is like that as well. It's an exciting mystery and journey and it too will eventually come to an end as well.

But at the end of this life, will you spend eternal life with God or with Satan? I choose God! What about you?!
