You showed me what its like to silence the voices of those who say life is only a pursuit of a salary. What a travesty! To live for money, it’s a tragedy! … I’d rather be a poor man stuck in poverty than to be a slave to paper, refusing to trust in Gods sovereignty... At ten years old I was inspired. Inspired to live a life that inspires others to take of the flat tires and travel freely down the highway –like “I don’t car what Satan tells me! Not one single thing is gonna stand in my way!” Because I’d rather be out here being made fun of for Jesus, than to be forgotten in my driveway… It’s a war! Are you gonna sit on the sidelines or get up and get in this? It’s a fight, man. Every day it’s a battle for what’s right, it’s a fight for your life and so often the wrong feels so right. But I read the last page of the Bible and believe me it’s gonna be alright. But until He comes like a thief in the night, I’m gonna live this life like every day is a gift from God because EVERY DAY IS A GIFT FROM GOD! And God didn’t give us this gift so we would wallow and be set adrift into a sea of selfishness. Like “what can I achieve and how much can I get?” So we buy into this American dream. But really, it’s just an American scheme. A suicidal society where we’re scorning the TIM TEBOWS but celebrate with the Charlie Sheens. And we wonder why we’re losing the teams and we wonder what it all means. It means sin is on the rise, we bought into its lies. Thank God Jesus is still in the business of saving lives! And he can save yours just like he saved mine!...Three nails and two wooden beams, believe me man, He loves you! And His promises are true and the Bible is truth, and liberal professors who bash it are fools. But God still loves fools and I’m really no better than them. I’m just a messed up dude who struggles with sin. But I am not about to deny my Creator to get an A on a paper, because one day, my name will be written on a different piece of paper, whether its soon or whether its later. And someone in a suit and tie will stand on stage as my love ones cry, and it will say the year I was born and the year I died. And when they call my name, I’ll be far above the fray, in a place far away, all because I chose Jesus over this! Because I didn’t want to sell away my Savior like Judas did with a wink and a kiss. You can’t pump the breaks of life’s highway. You can’t go back and you can’t go sideways, and if I had it my way, I’d go back to the ten year old me and I’d say “Clayton, don’t waste one opportunity to pray, be different from this world and stand out in every way.” Because we’re all just traveling to our graves and when you stand before Jesus, what will you say? youtu.be/JfeSgUo-5zA
