Lets delve a little further into how our society is thriving, (or are we even surviving?), with the mantra of “You do you”; while at the same time excluding God.
Hello my most wonderful World Wide Family. I love you all so very much. It is so great to be talking to you again.
Dear LORD, thank You that no matter where we live around the world, we are all created in Your Image and part of the family of the human race. Thank You that due to technology, we can be aware of what is occurring with our Brothers and Sisters in various parts of the world.
LORD I ask You to please call all of your children from all over the world to You to be saved. I ask that You send out Your people to tell others about Jesus Christ. Thank You for protecting us with Your angels. Thank You Jesus for Your Gift of Your Holy Spirit Who leads us and guides us through this life. Thank You God for Your Gift of Jesus Christ. Thank You that You loved us so much that You sacrificed Your Only Beloved, Begotten Son Who was and is Perfect, for our sins. Thank You that we are never, ever alone.
Please call us all unto repentance and send Your revival. Please remove blinders so people can truly see Who You are and desire a personal, intimate relationship with the Creator of the Universe. Please let people know that we were never meant to do this life alone. We were created to do life with You both here on earth and then for all eternity in heaven for those who accept Jesus as LORD and Savior. I thank You in advance. In Jesus Precious Name. Amen. Glory to God!!
2 TIMOTHY 3:1 BUT KNOW THIS, THAT IN THE LAST DAYS PERILOUS TIMES WILL COME: FOR MEN WILL BE LOVERS OF THEMSELVES, LOVERS OF MONEY, BOASTERS, PROUD, BLASPHEMERS, DISOBEDIENT TO PARENTS, UNTHANKFUL, UNHOLY, UNLOVING, UNFORGIVING, SLANDERERS, WITHOUT SELF-CONTROL, BRUTAL, DESPISERS OF GOOD, TRAITORS, HEADSTRONG, HAUGHTY, LOVERS OF PLEASURE RATHER THAN LOVERS OF GOD, HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS BUT DENYING ITS POWER. AND FROM SUCH PEOPLE TURN AWAY! (nkjv)
Sadly I think this describes the lifestyle of many people living in this day and time. There is another Scripture where Jesus says;
MARK 8:36 FOR WHAT WILL IT PROFIT A MAN, IF HE GAINS THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSES HIS OWN SOUL? (nkjv)
There are so many people with such vast wealth that if they shared only a small portion with countries that don’t have clean water nor food and people on the very streets in the cities in which they live who are without homes and hungry; there would be no poverty.
Sure I understand that these people have worked diligently for their financial blessings. Some people also say that people are without homes because of choices that they have made in life. Really? Sometimes this could be true; sometimes Life just hits hard and tragedies overwhelm us. This is why we need to cry out to God to help us. He is always right there. Regardless of the cause, can’t we extend a hand to the hurting and a heart to the helpless?
Even if we aren’t wealthy and we have something that someone else needs or we have 10 or 20 of those items and another human being has none; shouldn’t it be on our very hearts to share and to give? I find such overwhelming joy in giving to others. I look for opportunities. Whether I have a little or God has blessed me with great wealth, I will always want to help another Brother or Sister in need.
Who are these Brothers and Sisters? Anyone, anywhere that God sends across my path at any time with a need that I can help meet. My hope and prayer is that one day God will bless me with such vast wealth that I, myself can send vast amounts of money to other countries in need. I want them to have resources so they can plant crops and have water to drink and food to eat. So they can plant crops and water the crops and have herds, and homes and be healthy. I want to help those right here where I live and give them great amounts of resources.
The church that I attend does just this. For decades they have served the population without homes, those who are destitute and broken by life and even by their own choices. (I choose to say-“those who are temporarily without homes”, because God can change their lives in a moment if they would only give their lives to Him.)
The portion of the Scripture above that says: without ‘self-control and brutal’; I think we have seen that with the recent riots. All of the riots, on all sides. The unfathomable attack on our White House in this country that I have loved all of my life; and the riots that burned down businesses and government buildings. Some of the businesses being owned by the very people that the rioters said they were standing up for.
Looting, vandalism, burning buildings, killing people and violence is never the answer, it never has been and never will be. Standing up and courageously protesting for Right, justice, equal rights for all, anti-racism, anti-bigotry and hatred is always necessary.
It is always necessary to stand AGAINST hatred in all forms and hate crimes, senseless killings that are racially motivated, and every kind of killing, hatred against police or religious groups, or cultures and genocide. It is necessary to stand up for the voiceless and unborn babies who are being aborted.
We should want to leave our imprint upon this life, and our legacy for our future generations, and do what is Right for all mankind when we are able to and not just be satisfied in “You do You.”
Until we get to talk again, please know that I am always praying for you and I love you. Most importantly Jesus loves you. God bless you all and all of your generations.
GALATIANS 5:22-23 BUT THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, JOY, PEACE, FORBEARANCE, KINDNESS, FAITHFULNESS, GENTLENESS AND SELF-CONTROL. AGAINST SUCH THERE IS NO LAW.
