For some weeks now, I have been locked out of my blogspot. I've been blogging now for over five years. I've written down personal thoughts that are a peek into the person God is making out of me. I haven't told many people about my blog, as I viewed it not as a blog to gain a following, but to just throw out thoughts to cyber space and hope God uses some of them for His glory.
When I have some thoughts that come out of my personal Bible study, I write them here. After one such morning, I came to post some thoughts, and I could not access my blog in order to write, edit or really do much of anything. I won't belabor all the details of what followed, but let it suffice to say that I tried many things to get back in and could not. I felt violated and then hopeless. It was like coming home and your house is no longer yours. Or like going to get into your car and it's stolen. I know it's just a blogspot, but it was part of me.
Today I found a way back in and here I am. However, it occurred to me through this trivial blip of my personal life crisis, that there is a much greater hopelessness that has devastatingly eternal consequences. For if a person rejects God or tries to access God through his own works, that person will be "locked out" of eternal life. They will be going along, thinking things are fine because everything goes on as usual, but they would not heed the signs along the way or stop to think or consider. And then it will be too late. And they will not "find a way back in".
"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father, Who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you'; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.' Locked Out!! (Matthew 7:21-23)
