Some Days...

When I hear people leaving church say, I can't stay out of a fear of hell, I'm thinking in my head, HOW CAN YOU NOT???💥
.
 The Bible says...
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom..." (Proverbs 9;10)
One of the smartest moves you can make in life IS LITERALLY FEARING GOD!!! And IF you fear God, you will fear the things he says will happen if you don't repent!!! 
.
I tell people that say they've lost their desire to live for God, have you asked God to renew that desire in you??? I dare you to because I have no doubt in my mind that God won't grant you that request!!! I mean ultimately, you have to live for God out of a love for Him, buuuuuuuut HEY, I don't wanna go to hell!!!
.
 I remember as a kid, I sought the Holy Ghost LITERALLY because my mom was just straight up with me, you don't have the Holy Ghost, YOUR GOING TO HELL!!! Some days my good night kiss would be accompanied with, well, I hope Jesus doesn't come tonight Mary, because you won't be going! Maaaaaaaan i'd fall asleep seeing flames...🔥🔥🔥🔥
.
Thats what happens when your mom is a new convert AND a NEW YORKER...no sugar-coating in my childhood!!! AHahahahaaa you can say whatever you want about her methods, buuuuuuut I got the Holy Ghost three months after my 6th birthday and was baptized in Jesus name the next day!!! You know the joy I felt that night and HEY what about heaven??? That's a pretty awesome benefit of loving God!!! 
.
I may have gotten my start with God out of fear, buuuuuuut some where a long the way I fell in love with Jesus and realized that HE, who saved my soul from hell, WAS THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME!!!
.
I believe that getting a good Godly dose of hell in you is a good thing!!! I don't know how many times I've heard people that WERE backslidden, when they get back in church, they say, I was soooooooo miserable and depressed, IF I had not had a fear of hell, I would have taken my own life!!! A fear of hell can't save you, ONLY JESUS can do that, buuuuuuuut it can help keep you on the not so good days!!!
.
I live for God because I love him and desire to live a life that is pleasing to him, buuuuuuuut there are days WHEN...A fear of hell keeps me from doing anything stupid...Liiiiiiike I'm really tired and cranky... buuuuuuuuut I'm going to church because...you never know what lies a head!!! 💥Hell isn't our ultimate reason for liveng for God...buuuuuuuut some days...
IT'S ENOUGH!!!💥
.And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:28
