I don't know your story.
I cannot pretend to know your journey.
My thoughts are mine and most of the time they do not need to be told.
Has society grown so cold that we really believe it is fine to hurt people in action and in word?
In our thought process do we truly believe we have all the answers and others are ignorant?
Is it really okay for us to discard the elderly along with their wisdom and to cast away the down trodden because we think we are better, wiser, stronger, or smarter?
We as people are losing ourselves and we don't even realize it. We have cast away people in the pursuit of self.
Relationships that were great are now awkward because we chose to focus on our 'feelings' instead of focusing on the beauty.
Nation has risen up against nation because of their knowledge through a culture filter...which, by the way does not give accurate information in the least.
Are we so fixated on hate and differences that we think that is what is best or 'normal'?
I have failed on many fronts, I have come up short in nearly every aspect of my life at different times; however, I am not willing to let that be my 'normal'...and you shouldn't either.
I want to see each person through the filter of heaven. I want to see the good, I want to see the value, I want to understand the journey. If I can truly understand someone's journey I will be better equipped to avoid the things that made them fall and embrace the things that made them stand tall.
I am not so naive as to think I cannot gain value and insight from each person The Good Lord has placed on this planet.
Maybe if we stop focusing on our feelings we can move forward as a society. Feelings lie...emotions cause us to make less than stellar choices. I hope the masses are being awoken inside like I believe I am...it is time to unify and become... one strong nation under God...vs remaining clusters of talkers that tear down much like spots of cancer that eat away at the inside.
We need not fear about the outside world destroying our beautiful land...lately we've been doing a good job of that on our own...from the inside out.
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
