Do You Want to be Saved?

 Happy Easter guyss. 

Long time no post eh? I came to tell you about a dream I had a couple nights ago. I can't remember everything fully but what I do remember was this: 

There was a man who had been rushed to the hospital because he had been in an accident. When they turned the man on his back there was a giant DNR (Do not resuscitate) tattoo in large black letters across it. Despite this, the doctors still saved him.

After this, God told me "that's you."

When I first got the dream, I didn't fully understand how it was me. But as I reflected, when I was in a very dark place and needed saving I indirectly told God DNR. Instead of praying, instead of asking anyone He placed around me for help, I just did not want to be saved. 

 I felt unworthy of speaking to God. But what I seemed to have forgotten was this;  

Romans 3:23-24

"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."

Because I have been going through a season of depression, I felt very disconnected from God and the devil tried to feed me lies that would cause me to isolate myself from God and everyone else. That way I'd meditate on my negative thoughts and not get help.

I'll admit for a while there, it was working. I felt angry and alone. 

 Because of this, 1 Peter 5:8 stuck out to me;

"Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."

I wasn't guarded.  

But throughout all of this, when I look back I see God every step of the way. From the friends who checked on me to the scriptures that I would've seen. All of these things urging me to not give up.

I'll leave you guys with Matthew 7:7

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."

God wants to save us, all we have to do is say yes.

Until Next Time,

Nyeka.
