How is your heart???
Mine is having issues...I don't mean physically, but emotionally. This devastation from Hurricane Sandy, our election, world hunger hitting not just the world but now hitting here; in the US...My heart is just aching...
People are running around trying to store up food and emergency supplies for whatever may come next....
They are praising this new leader who clearly is a confised and self motivated individual who cares about his own concerns rather than ours...
We are in the worst financial crisis...almost equal with the great depression...
Hunger and homelessness are no longer a problem but becomig more like a lifestyle choice for so many due to the lack of employment, sufficient pay, and laziness of the American people who on another note...have chosen to be expecting and demanding of funds, goods, and services without adequate labor or effort...
Our children are suffering...they are growing up in a world where TV and teachers have become the parents for the majority and being a good parent no longer means disicplining but rather compromising....Where taking a stand for "moral" values has become a mere thought and a part of history as society is teaching our children to embrace a more liberal attitude; doing whatever feels right.
The natural disasters plaguing our world have been to difficult to bear...as people cling to the hope of man, and dependance on man's decent moral character....
How ironic when society is telling our children to do whatever feels right...
People remain without basic necessities and we hear from the media not to worry because man has it all under control...when another media source is revealing the worry and fear the people have due to the lack of resources and the time to wait for them is greater than they can bear.
Not to mention war....it is rampid...countries all over are in a constant battle for political gain, wealth, and power...people are dying every day...and yet...there is no end in sight...heartbreaking...
So...I ask you again...How is your heart???
You think possibly because these things are not under your control why bother to think about them? Maybe your life is peachy and although bad things happen...they are not happening to you; why consider any of this relevant?
Well...what about the new promise to increase taxes to pay for whatever the govt. deeems appropiate?
What about the secret plan of our health care system and how not only will your healthcare plan increase dramatically, but the threat to our freedom by inflation of insurance cost, due to penalties if you choose to not be a part of this new health care plan? What about the several thousand page document that uses your increased tax dollars to fund programs like chip development and placement within humans, secret abortions by minors, free abortions which would acutally be used as a new form of birth control, birth control to any individual asking for it despite their age, one man to be put in charge of the entire global economy if the world is in a crisis?
What about the massive debt we have incurred; putting several generations ahead of us in debt without hope of paying it down?
What about a country screaming tolerance and bulldozing over anyone who mentions the name of Jesus...Seems to me tolerance should be in all areas...
Is your heart aching yet??
The sad part is...I could continue on...writing pages of the current situations but my heart is sick and writing in agony over this world and their decisions, their lack of a need for a higher power...their desire to eliminate all morality and their confusion when they desire American people to take a stand and the youth reply, "How do we do that? We were never taught...we just go with the flow..." My tears are shed for our youth who are being lost in the madness our leaders and the world calls a "future"...
But I do have hope...
Hope in Jesus...
Hope in the one and only Son of God in Heaven...
He came down as a man by a plan from HIS father to take away this lack of better judgement, this lack of desire to follow down the path of righteousness, HE came to remove sin.
We are born into it from the time the fibers began weaving together, forming life in our mother's womb.
Jesus came, lived a perfect life, and was then ridiculed and tortured to death...
He then beat death and rose from the dead on the third day...
Only preaching God's message and how easy it is to ensure you have a place in eternity
By confessing with your mouth that Jesus is the Son of God, apologize for your sinful life, and believe in your heart that God raised HIM from the dead, you will be saved from an eternity of hell....the Bible describes hell as a place where there will be "weeping and nashing of teeth"....This is a place where God will not be with you because you have chosen the things of this world over HIM.
SO where is the hope...
It is in knowing that those who have accepted HIM and believe in HIM will be taken to heaven...
We will also live a life more abundantly while living here on earth because we will have the Holy Spirit dwelling in our hearts; leading and guiding our steps as we learn to live for HIM and trust HIM with our lives...
My hope is heaven and a heart filled with joy despite the circumstance.
In a God who loves us everyday despite ourselves, and loved us so much while we were in sin, HE died to take away all our sin at our worst moment.
HE is preparing a place for me in heaven.
He left instructions for us which we can read easily in the Bible.
So there is my hope...
There is my answer for everything in life...
HE is my strength...
He heals my broken heart while reminding me to pray for those who are choosing everything else but HIM...
So...does your heart ache??
You now have the solution for repair...it is up to you to believe it...
I am praying for you...
