WWJD? What would Jesus do?

I know that we’re still in our series of the story of the bible, but I just recently came across this topic. Why? Because it convicted my heart to something. 

The conviction was to keep going with the blog. 

Why do I say that? Because honestly, I was planning on giving up this blog. Let me explain, but first, let’s take a moment of prayer 

At this time, let’s do a moment of silence. Take a minimum of 5 minutes to pray for everything and anything in your life. I would also like you to pray for me, I am going through, not a rough patch, but a trial.

Now back to the show

What exactly happened that made me want to give up?

So, today, my dad and I had an argument. We fought for a while too, however, in the end my dad seemed like he was the one who changed. 

I’m not going to go into the specifics, however, all I wanted was advice from him. I wanted to know what his thought process was on a situation.

He argued saying that it’s an obvious thing and he got really sarcastic with me. 

So I said, back, “Do you remember that one time that mom told you not to do something because it was obvious that it was bad? And I mean jail type bad? And you accepted the offer however, you got saved by the skin of your teeth because you listened to her?” 

Then I said, “What is obvious for you, is not what is obvious for other people.”

Then, my dad changed his tone of voice completely and he said “okay German okay.”

We reconciled with each other after that and then in the end i said, I love you dad, and he said I love you too.

I’ll be honest, the thing that I wanted to do was a little sketchy. And I completely understand his point of view. I completely understand that what I was going to do was wrong. However, I wanted his position because I didn’t know any better and I trusted my dad. 

What we more so argued about was my dad’s tone of voice and his sarcasm. He’s sarcastic and rude even when we’re asking him a simple question. 

Why? Because everyone in my family knows that I’m an honest dude. I’m brutally honest. And I told my dad, “You know how honest I am right?” “I said, I’m not mad about your decision that you think what I was about to do was absurd, I’m mad about your tone and your sarcasm.”

“Okay so what if you thought it was obvious? Mom thought that it was obvious that what you were going to do with the scam, was a scam? And yet you did it!! And it was obvious to her and not to you. So like why should you get sarcastic with me?” “There is no reason to get sarcastic.”

Anyways, we ended up reconciling with each other and now we’re about to have dinner in a few hours.

There are two things that need to be done here.

One, I can’t argue with my dad anymore. I promised myself that I would do my best to be Christian and it’s not Christian to argue with my dad. So here is where WWJD comes in. What would Jesus do? 

Well Jesus would just take the sarcasm and the angry tone of voice NOW, and LATER he would talk to his dad about the sarcasm and explain it to him in a calm voice the errors of his ways.

Why? Because we’re not to fight with our parents. I don’t want a kid to come over here and say, “sometimes it’s okay to fight with your parents.” I want to be clear, IT”S NEVER OKAY TO FIGHT WITH YOUR PARENTS.

THE ONLY TIME THAT IT’S OKAY TO FIGHT WITH YOUR PARENTS, IS WHEN THEY WANT YOU TO DO SOMETHING UNGODLY. What their will is, should align with God’s will. 

So, if your parents are saying, “Clean your room, take out the trash, get good grades, work hard, relax, share, play nice, be kind, don’t bully, always remember God, Thank God, and be a Christian, then you HAVE TO LISTEN TO THEM.” 

Those are just examples, your parents could tell you to do a million other things too. 

The second thing that needs to happen is I need to thank God that I was able to communicate with my dad. 

Honestly, it was God who was there with me.

I was committing the error, I was disobeying my God and I was disobeying my dad, and God was able to come out on top so that both me and my dad learned from each other. 

I give glory to God that things ended well. I give glory to God that we’re still a family no matter what has happened. 

Anyways, back to the thing I was talking about. 

After this whole argument, My dad had said, “Why don’t you go and find a job! And work a career and get your house like that?” of course he was being sarcastic with me, but he made a point.

Don’t get me wrong, I do have a job and I’m trying to get back into college, However, I think that by now, I’m just exhausting my parents and I need to get on my own. 

So what I was thinking of doing was quitting the blog. I say that with great sorrow. Never in my life have I ever put in so much work into something so meaningful. 

The guitar was a passion and it was cool but in a sense without God, it was empty. 

However, this blog serves God. This blog could reach millions of people and the truth could spread! With this blog, the mission of God could be accomplished. 

The reason why I want to quit this blog, is honestly because I’m not making any money off of it. 

I don’t care what people call me, I am weak. I mean WWJD? Jesus would keep this blog going and he wouldn’t care if his parents kicked him out of the house because he’s not making any money. Why? Because it’s God who he’s serving and not man. And he knows that God would take care of him at all times. 

But me? I can’t. I honestly can’t. I’m too weak. I can’t keep this blog going because I honestly see myself homeless within a few years if I keep this blog going. 

My parents lie all the time saying that I need to do what I want to do. They encourage me to keep this blog going. But when push comes to shove, they’ll kick me out in a minute if something goes wrong. And honestly i’m not perfect and I’m grown already. So it’s different than when I was a kid because when I was a kid, my parents had to tolerate it. Now, they can just kick me out of the house. 

I honestly can’t do this blog anymore because it’s not making any money. I don’t want to be homeless, I’ve been homeless before. It’s tough, no money, no job, no food, everyone kicks you out of restaurants for no reason. Everyone thinks that you’re loitering so  they want you off their property, no one wants you.

I can’t live like that, I need a career already that will provide. I say this with great sorrow, but I was thinking of giving up this blog. 

I wasn’t going to let it die. My plan was to give this blog to a church, my church. I was going to give it as a gift. Hoping that they would continue to preach the truth to the world. God doesn’t need me in order to keep the truth spreading. 

I just wanted to be a part of it. 

As of right now, I still haven’t decided what I want to do. But just know that it’s possible in the future. 

My reason for keeping this blog going is to serve God. I want to serve God with all my heart. 

I just can’t pass through another time being homeless.

My parents either don’t believe me when I say that I truly want to serve God, or they just don’t believe in me. I know that I’m about a half a mistake away from getting kicked out. I’ve done so many mistakes in this house. 

I don’t know what I want to do. 

Please pray for me because this is truly challenging. I want to do God’s way, not mine. But it’s hard.

I sure hope that I have inspired some people to go out and start looking for God. I know that this might not have been the happiest post that I’ve put up, but things like this happen. Things happen when you  are faced with  challenges.

I know that God will be with me no  matter what. 

If you want to go to heaven, then believe in Jesus and you will go to heaven.

Thank you all for listening in on this blog post. I hope that I have been an inspiration and a hope to you all. Please pray, read your bible, go to church, and love God above all else. Like, comment, share, subscribe, and I will see you all next time. German Gonzalez, signing out!
