“Can I Do It?” Blog #218
How CAN I turn my life into a positive channel?
Where do I instantly find a place to start at?
Why won’t doors open when I need fixing?
I look at my own life, where I am at right now. No matter what I shared with you in the past,
if I had one fact to share now - it is this - TODAY I START OVER AND I CAN DO IT. Nothing in
my past will prevent me from this because my past is only there to teach me. I believe
Jesus Christ came to earth to show me HE is God. The fact is Holy Week brings something
powerful to mind and must be shared.
My family is mine to learn powerful lessons from. I may love or hate my family around me.
This is my choice. However, Jesus left us many platitudes to learn how to live from. He
said, “Pray for those who persecute me” Love my enemies” and “Forgive them for they
know not what they do”. Look how powerful, freeing and enlightening these words are.
Hearing all this before, I always inserted the words “but…,” in there. “But no one understand
what this person did to me…..” Jesus knows exactly what I have been through. He stills
says, “Forgive and move on.” Years and years of holding onto anger, resentment and
bitterness does NOT create healthy internal growth. Jesus came to earth as “God in
person”. He showed us through all the years He was with his disciples and miracles he did
one after another. He lived the life and showed us how life and all the people around us,
can let us down! His disciples turned on him, a closer disciple denied him three times.
Then there was the disciple Judas who sold his soul for thirty pieces of silver, and at the
end, hung himself because he could not bare to live. Yet, at the end of his tortured life,
hanging on a cross, He spoke these words,
“FATHER FORGIVE THEM, FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.” This Easter, He asks us to
do the same thing. Can I do it? Can I forgive anyone who has hurt me, period? How can
I by myself give back to those around me and do something good?
There was a young man who walked away from a formal education. Yet this young man
had a dream about sharing his knowledge of Jesus Christ. He started at 18 years old and
founded an organization called Turning Point USA. This began with no money and no
connections, and grew into one of the largest conservative youth organizations in the
entire country. There are chapters on thousands of campuses and revenues approaching
100 million dollars. Now the organization has expanded into Turning Point Action and
Turning Point Faith. In the midst of all his work and travel and witnessing for our Lord, he
had written ten books. His last book is called, ”Stop in the Name of God (why honoring the
sabbath will transform your life)”. The president of the United States honored him with the
nations highest honor - The Medal of Freedom. His name is Charlie Kirk. Charlie loved to
go and speak and debate on college campuses. He spoke about God and truth and living
life at its fullest.
On September 10th, 2025, thirty one year old Charlie Kirk was on an “America Comeback
Tour” and had just arrived at a college event at Utah Valley University to speak about truth
in every facet of our life. He was not afraid to face off about any subject of any kind. He
loved God and his wife and his two little children, and he was not afraid to die.
At 12:33 p.m. MT While answering audience questions, Charlie Kirk was struck with a single
gunshot bullet to the neck and slumped over, dead in front of three thousand college
students. This is a young man who lived his life to its very fullest.
Can I start today, accept all the lessons through peoples behavior and more than that
have been given to me, and forgive them? Can I do it?
