Hey.. I've been deep thinking alot today. Not sure why, I guess its the combination of, not being able to sleep, and boredom. I got to thinking about some things that our whole family is going through right now, and I realized...
Our choices, will affect us for the rest of our life.We as humans, can get so blinded from selfishness that we dont see who we are hurting, and how bad the reality of the situation really is. Its sad, I mean I think about the innocent people, who are being hurt, and it really just goes past the point of me being sad , it makes me very angry. You can help people for so long, then its like it just gets you no-where.We should never stop helping people though. Sometimes the best help in the world, is to let someone have to deal with their situations on their own, quit being they're crutch. Step back, and let them do it on their own.
Its kind of like a baby, they're not going to try to walk, if everytime they fall, or cry, you pick them up, and carry them for weeks afterwards. Usually they will fall a couple times just so they wont have to walk. We get so sidetracked by our own issues, we feel sorry for ourself, aren't available to help people, think about ME,ME,ME, and dont care who we are hurting and the sincerety on the hurt. I know that God felt betrayed many times, so if God was betrayed and hurt, how much more are we going to be hurt. The good thing is, we can turn to God, Let him love on us, Clean our wounds, take some time to rest then get back up and get ready to keep going. If we sit and wait forever, we might loose the chance. How many times can we afford to start over.
I'm telling you, theres not that many chances left. Why dont we take the chances we've been given and put all our effort into it, is it the fear of failure, is it the laziness of not wanting to give it our all, is it the selfishness of not wanting to let go of things we know isn't right , but we keep doing them, because we like too. Or is it just the issue of letting go.. Lets give it a chance, Let's let it go, Lets be serious and get fired up about the mission we are set out to do!!! Lets reach the hurting people, help the people that are causing the hurt,there are too many on the opposing side. Lets win them over,and lets give ourself a chance. WE CAN DO IT! God needs us and so does the world... I'm ready, are you in it with me??? Come on!! We need you!!! I CAN"T DO IT ALONE!!!!
I was very interested to find the subject matter of your latest blog. My son, Andrew, just had a similar conversation with me. He overdrew his account (bad decision) and got in a big bind for money. He started off feeling bad because he was "broke". Then, it escalated to guilt. Before long, he was in a state of depression. He was like..."What is it all about? Money? I have no meaning in my life...blah...blah..." After a long talk with Mom, he realizes that we all make mistakes. But, life goes on with or without us. No mistake should paralyze us into inactivity or depression. If God can forgive and forget, so should we. So, Andrew is okay. For now.
I am very thrilled to encounter a young person with such a deep understanding for the things of God and life in general. Keep serving God and he'll bless you beyond your wildest dreams.
