You Are Not Alone

Michael Jackson, the legendary King of Pop passed away yesterday leaving the world to mourn his loss. His talent was such an amazing gift that has inspired and influenced generations of  artists after him. Still, there is no one quite like MJ.

His life was marked by great success as well as great controversy. For as many people who are missing him today, unfortunately there are also many who are sneering and judging him.

Jesus warned against judging others, saying that while you point out the speck of sawdust in someone else’s eye you miss the plank in your own eye (Matt 7:2-4 NIV)!

Not one of us is perfect and therefore no one is in a position to judge.You may judge others because you feel powerless and alone when it comes to your own issues. However, you are not alone. God knows that sometimes our lives and the decisions we make are formed out of deep pain and brokenness. God’s desire is for you to be whole. Love and healing are available to all through Jesus Christ!

Since tomorrow is not promised, get help for the broken places in your life and surrender to God today. Rather than scorn others for their flaws, search your own heart and discover where you can make improvements.

I pray that you would look at Michael Jackson’s life and be inspired to use your God-given gifts to change the world. More importantly, I pray that you would be inspired to get to know the Creator, the One who placed those gifts within you and let Him make your life beautiful from the inside out.

John 10:9-11 (New King James Version)

I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. ¹⁰ The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. ¹¹ “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.”
