How to Know When God is Finished with You

Try this simple test at home.

Grab a small mirror. Hold it up to your mouth and exhale slowly.

Now check the mirror. If the glass has fogged with moisture, that indicates that you are still breathing.

If you are still breathing, you are still living. And if you are still living, then God is not finished with you yet.

You may have trouble believing this. You may think that you have lived too wrong, for too long, for God to still be interested in you. You may think you are just past it, and God has washed his hands of you.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

Before you were ever conceived, you were a gleam in God's eye. Your life was scheduled on God's calendar from the beginning of time.

The Bible says you are fearfully and wonderfully made. God had a perfect plan when he created you.

But guess what ... you blew it, didn't you? You haven't served God faithfully. In fact, you have probably failed him miserably. Deep down in your heart, you know that the only thing God owes you is a good swift kick in the butt.

Welcome to the club, Bubba. It's called "being human."

We all have blown it. We all screw things up. We all have disrespected our Creator.

This fact causes many people to despair, which is exactly what the devil wants you to do.

But the amazing reality is that God never quits. He never gives up on us, even when we have given up on ourselves. God tracks us down like a hound on the hunt, and we can never get away from him.

Of course, if you are stubborn and foolish, you can continue to diss God. He created you with a free will, and you can choose to keep running away from him. But the longer you run away from him, the harder your stubborn heart will become.

Until one moment, when you take that last breath, and you descend into eternity separated from God ... then you will realize that it really is too late. Forever. That is when the real despair begins, and there is no remedy for it then.

But if you are reading this, there is still hope. You still have time to make things right. You still have time to make a U-turn.

Nothing brings God more joy than when one of us lost souls comes to our senses and comes to him for mercy! Jesus even declared that "there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” (Luke 15:10, NIV)

God isn't finished with you yet. He still has great plans for your life.

You were not put on this earth just to suck up valuable oxygen. Aren't you tired of just fogging the mirror? Don't you want to know why God created you?

Only Jesus has those answers. Only he knows the beginning from the end.

And there is only one way for you to find your purpose. Come face to face with Jesus and ask him to save you.

A prayer like this will open the doors of heaven:

"Dear Jesus, I want to know you. I am sorry I have run away from you for so long. Please forgive me! Please help me to understand how much you love me. Thank you for dying for my sins. Thank you for never giving up on me. 

"Today I give my life to you, Lord, and I ask you to show me how you want me to live. I cannot do this in my own. I need your forgiveness and your guidance and your power in my life. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for helping me to find your mercy."
