Malachi 3:10

Quote from a fellow blogger named GiGi: She said, "I would rather live my life as there was a God in heaven, and find out when I die that there wasn't, than to live my life as there was no God in heaven, and find out when I die that there was." That quote really touched me because it's powerful, and it says to people who are in denial about Jesus Christ it's better safe than sorry. I always encourage non-believers( people who don't believe in Jesus Christ) to try him for yourself, test him to see if he's real. Accept him as your Lord and savior, join a church, and pay tithes to show you put him first. Don't be demented about it and say,"If you're real then strike me down with lighting, or give me a million dollars." Let it be sincere, and mean it with your heart.Your life on earth won't be perfect, but it will be a lot better, and when this life time comes to pass God promises you eternal joy, happiness, and peace in his kingdom.
