i.

First of all, there is too much focus on the self. People are constantly concerned with their own thoughts, their own actions, their own misfortunes and their own tough breaks. How many times during one day do we look in a mirror? How many times do we start a sentence with "I?" We even complain if our friends only talk about themselves and don't want to talk about us.

There is more to the letter "i" than just ourselves. Some very important words start with this mischievous letter. How about the word "ignorance" as an example. It's the 'lack of knowledge or education.' Ignorance of some subjects are worse than others: If someone is ignorant of psychofarmicology, no one worries too much. There are a lot of people out there that are ignorant about a general idea they have grown up with, that claim to know what their talking about. Wrong (and sickening).

Indecisiveness is another bad "I" word. There is one thing that should be clear in this world, and that's the answer to the question "Why are we here?" A very commonly asked questions that probably everyone in the world has asked themself at least once in their life. Many of these people also claim to have found the answer. I (there's that darn letter again) think there's only one answer. There's one way. One truth. And if you don't believe in that way, nuts to you. It's never too late to believe in this one truth.

Part of verse 9 in 1 Chronicles chapter 28 reads "If you seek him, he'll make sure you find him, but if you abandon him, he'll leave you for good." Harsh. But fair. All God is asking is that you seek him. If your motives are clear and you truly desire to find him, you are certain to find him. Everyone has to make a decision to seek him or abandon him.
