The parable of indecision

There was a large wall separating two large groups.

On one side of the wall was God, the angels and loyal servants of God.
On the other side was satan, his demons and all humans who do not serve God.

And on top of the wall was an undecided youth, who was raised in a Christian home, but was now in doubt on whether or not he should continue serving God or tasting a bit of worldly pleasures.

The undecided youth noticed that the group on God's side called and screamed non-stop to him:

"Hey, come down now... Come!"

The group of satan didn't scream or say anything. This continued for some time, until the undecided youth asked satan:

"The group on God's side has spent all their time telling me to come down to their side. Why hasn't your group called or said anything about descending to your side?"
The youth was extremely surprised when satan replied:

"It's because the wall is MINE."

Never forget: There is no 'in-between'. The wall already has an owner. Think about this.

  3. Like the youth on the wall, it is easy to be deceived into thinking that it is okay for us not to make a decision yet and that we don't really have to give our lives to God yet because there's so much fun to experience. But that is completely WRONG. If we are not in God's hands then we are in the devil's just like when we sit on his wall.
