Cut Out for Me!

I've got my job cut out for me.

Calling all young people! I'm not giving up so easy.
You refuse to worship, fellowship and learn and grow in the Word of God.
I have to compete against your desire to overeat!
I have to compete against your lust for pornography.
I have to compete against your facination for violent video games!
I have to fight against your love for the the shallow entertainment in movies and TV.
I have to compete against the NHL, World Cup, MLB.
I have heard the excuses and the shallow apologies and lies.
So you didn't come! You didn't rise up. You gave in to the flesh.
Guess what! It is not over! I'm in it for the long run! I'm tired for guilt, regret, discourgament and silly self pity! I'm putting it all aside now!

I've got my job cut out for me! I will stop at nothing to see it won!
Because this is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God (1John 5:4-5).
