A heart once strong
Submitted by scott on 2006-09-18
I have been reading all over the Internet about how people feel about the world. What their innermost ideas are regarding their shared existance with others. Their hearts are sorrowful because of the severity of events that occur and the actions of others that obviously start them. They hate their neighbor because of what they believe or the way they live their lives. Actions of man are speaking louder and are becoming visible for others to witness. They hate their neighbor and the neighbor hates them.
We are sin. I am. You are. Your mother and your father were. There is no way of getting around it. Jesus was the only flesh that lived who wasn't. So, why do we really hate our brothers? You are just as guilty as they are.
I've been reading about people saying things like:
"You see life go on around you. you see the corruption, the unfairness, the apathy, the hate, the bigotry, and you just wonder why?"
"God hates me."
"Why is my life so messed up? Why can things never go right?"
The problem is that people are the problem. Why can't we realize it? I am the problem. You are the same problem. Sin is the cause of all problems and ultimately our end. We live our lives to get ahead and to what the flesh wants. I don't like to talk bad about people so I don't get into any details, but you know who you are. You know what you are doing. Every man is born with understanding. Just being born and having life is proof enough.
Once upon a time, people cared about others. My great grandfather was friends with yours. They were still sinners, but they also had a heart for people. They had manners, respected their elders and worked hard. The exact opposite from today. Why have parent's lost control of their children? It is up to us to prepare them for the world. When millions of sinners are released, sin is the only outcome.
So in knowing that we are part of the problem we must try to overcome our temptation to make the world a better place and control our hate for others. No matter what they do. Simply take a deep breath and let it go. They will get theirs in their time and you in yours.
