"HELLO,DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD?"

“Enter by the narrow gate! Wide is the gate and broad is the way that
leads to destruction! And many prefer it! Mathew 7-13.

“HELLO! DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD?”

Hello my friend! Where are you going so fast?
Can I make you a question?
I am going for a date! And I am late! What do you want?
In the meantime, a huge amount of people were boarding one of the
many escalators that slowly were going down with us on one of them!
What were you asking me?
Oh! I Just said: Do you believe in God?
Of course I do!
I do believe that God exist! Why?
Look around! I want you to see one thing, these escalators only go
down one level and then, there is a wide and long hall like a big cave,
in which people are pushing up themselves!
Look! Look what I am telling you!
People were smoking, drinking, using drugs, cursing, fighting, lying,
All kinds of people were pushing themselves trying to get there first!
Monosexuals, bisexuals, homosexuals, prostitutes, sex offenders, etc.
Witches, fortunetellers, idol worshipers, people that worship stone,
wood, paintings and any other materials as if they were “gods”
Idols that can not walk, can not listen, can not see, can not love!
They adore all this things instead of worshiping the true God!
All of them were very happy, joyfully were jumping, laughing,
just as if they were not doing anything wrong!
Most of these people, believe that God exist, but they do not stop
they’re wrong doing to thank God for His life! To thank God
for His help, and to ask Him to change the way they live!
If people could be saved just for believing that God exist, the road
To heaven would be so full that people would be struggling to be
able to pass, just like they do right here!
But people do not thank God for His blessings because they are
very busy trying to live a life full of pleasures and material things
living just to please themselves, without caring for anybody else!
Busy people! Just living “the crazy life” “la vida loca” without
thinking on the consequences .. .. ..
Where did you say you were going?
To a date! A love date!
A love date my friend?
Don’t you love your wife?
Yes but, what does this has to do with it?
Everybody does the same thing! Right
The way all things are going, you may be right, but not yet!
This road on which we are walking, is making itself narrower
until it ends in a big trench called the bottomless pit, and on it’s
surface there is a fire that never extinguishes! Did you hear me?
Are you trying to tell me that this is the road to hell?
You got that right! But there is still time to avoid it!
As we were getting closer to the abyss, we could hear people
Screaming very loud before they were pushed into the hole!
I’ve got scared! What can I do! What can I do, tell me please!
You have to comeback from your evil ways! Ask God for
forgiveness, and start a relationship with Him! You have to
believe in Him and when you do, tell Him you love Him!
And that you want to change!
Come on! Come on! Push! Push hard!
You have to return!
I started to push away people trying to open up a space so I could
pass, but the people, that were many, did not want to give me
any chance at all! However, little by little, I was gaining terrain,
until I was able to reach to the electrical escalators!
I am almost there I said! Just above the escalators and Ill be out!
I tried to find one that goes up but they were none!
I’ve got into one of them and started to push like before, but,
the escalators seem to me that they were going faster, I’ve got
very tired, and I said: I can’t! I can’t do it no more!
I t is like swimming against the water stream!
I looked for my friend, and he was not there!
And trembling I looked for a little space on a corner and I’ve
got on my knees and started to pray:
My God! My God I said! I believe in You!
I believe in Your Holy Son You sent to the world to help us!
I need You! Please help me! Get me out of here!
Suddenly, the escalators stopped! And I said: My chance!
And started to squeeze between people and finally got out!
And I realized that just right in front of me, it was a narrow road
full of thorns, and a big cross marking the place!
Next to the cross was a man with a big sign that said:
I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE!
The sign was on the hands of a man that seating on a stone at the
foot of the cross, was weeping!
He had his hands and feet with marks of nails in them, and was
wearing as a hat, a crown of thorns!
He was sadly watching all the people going into the wide road!
I recognize Him immediately and I said:
HE IS THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD GOD SENT US!
I fell on my knees and told Him: Thank You Lord!
Thank You for saving me!
I would like to begin a new life with You!
I was so excited, that did not realized that they were many people
with signs to advise all from the dangers of the road of perdition!
But nobody seemed to care! Without thinking about it twice,
I’ve got close to a person and told him not to enter! But he did not
listen to me, and continued walking to the wide road.
Then I’ve got back to Christ and told Him: Lord, please:
Grant me one of your “Gifts” so I could be able to talk to people
about your salvation! And He told me: Go on, my son,
you have with you the most precious of my Gifts: LOVE!
Go and share it with all!
Then I got near to another person and I told him:
Hello my friend!
Where are you going in such a hurry?
Can I ask you a question?
Do you believe in God?

I turned my head toward the Christ, He was watching me!
And I saw Him smiling!

PRAISE THE LORD!

God makes the rules, we obey them!
If you have a complaint,
Talk to Him!
He would like to listen your voice!
Tell Him you love Him!
He would love you more!
Ask Him to save you!
And you will be saved!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
