I Wont Go Back

Proverbs 14:12

There is a way which seemeth right unto man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

I wonder how I got here?

What did I do to get here?

Somehow I made the wrong turn and now I'm lost and burned

In my mess I fell deep because my flesh was weak

But now I hear your voice and I'm making the choice

I'm turning away from the things that I do 

That I know aren't pleasing in your sight

I'm turning away from the messed up mindset 

And the things that I know aren't right

I'm turning away from the past, the hurt, and shame

All the things that had me bound

I'm turning away, turning away

When temptation tries to lure me off my course

I will choose you, I'll choose you

'Cause I've been there and I'm not going there no more

Said I want a new start I'm giving you my heart

From your love I never want to depart

(I'm turning away) From the way of my past

(I'm turning away) I've changed my mind, changed my heart

(I'm turning away) I'm surrendering unto you

(I'm turning away) I'm turning away

(I'm turning away) I'm turning away

I won't go back to the place that God has brought me from. There is no point. What does this world have to offer? What does sin have to offer? The only thing that this world brings is death and destruction of your mind. Sin corrupts and takes over the heart. Just like a poison, it eats away at the soul. Just like a disease, it starts slowly, only to leave your mind and heart crippled, deformed, weighed down by guilt and heartache. It leaves you with scars and flashbacks that will never leave you alone. 

I have made my decision. I will not go back to the things that held me away from the presence of God. I will not allow my soul to be destroyed by the pleasures of this world. For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world an lose his own soul? (Mark 8:36) 

I feel like someone is at the point where they have the choice to stay with God and follow his will or to turn away from everything and follow after the world. I have one question for you. What does the world have that could ever be better than the presence of God? I hope you can realize that nothing is greater than what God has done to save you. No one could ever love you like Jesus can. No one will ever hold you like he can. 

Please don't go back to what God has brought you out of. It isn't worth it. What will you gain? Remember how you used to feel. Remember the depression, remember the misery that you felt in the world. Then, tell me that it is worth going back to. Nothing is worth losing your soul. Nothing is worth losing your ticket to heaven. Nothing is worth losing your relationship with God. Please make up your mind that you won't go back.
