Many factors make up our day-to-day decisions. Often we choose what we want in life by our own selfish desires. Does any of this sound familiar?
"I really want that new phone!"
"Sure, I'll have another drink."
"See that girl over there? She's gonna be mine tonight. I got me some Rohypnol!"
"I'll make some copies at work. Everybody does it."
Can I ask you a question? When you look at Facebook, what do you see? Do you see an endless stream of pictures, updates and memes? I see something else. I see windows. Windows into the hearts of millions. The screen we stare at each day is simply a veil . . . between perception and reality.
We need to ask ourselves . . . . is this how I want to live my life? Just watching the lives of others and the things they do? Or should we unplug ourselves from the computer screen and the phone and live the lives we were meant to live. A life filled with peace, hope and love awaits anyone who wants it. Yet few grab God's offer of eternal life, unconditional love and the endless supply of hope a life in Christ can bring.
So ask yourself this morning. "Is this all there is? Is this life I am living REALLY what life should be? Or is there more? Should I keep walking through this world wishing it would get better? Or should I give up on the day-after-day "surfing" in hopes of finding happiness and finally, fully surrendering my heart to Christ?
My life was forever changed 10 years ago when I chose to walk a different path. Your life can change today. Chose life, not death. Walking around with no hope is not really any way to "live." Choose Christ. Embrace the veil that was torn. Look at His example of a life lived . . . and live like that. You'll be glad you did.
"50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. 51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, 52 and the graves were opened;" - Matthew 27:50-52

I like this. I've always been so amazed and blessed by the torn veil in the temple after Jesus' death and what that means to us and our relationship to Holy God. So many still live behind a spiritual veil. Good thoughts, Bob.

The concept of the veil, a separation between God and His people, being torn apart "top to bottom" is an amazing image. We now can walk right in to The Holy of Holies without an intervening priest because JESUS is our high priest. What a gift! :) Thank you for your comment Sandra. :)
