Do you ever look at the world in your mind and ask, what are we doing? I do more often in recent times. There is so much to consider in just one day, from your personal story to the state of your world. People are killing each other for sometimes no gain of their own that we can see, people are entering into illegal activities for what reasons? I don't think most of the reasons we give about why people do things are completely legit. Yes there is truth to some of it but its not usually the whole truth. Then I look at myself and see how much I don't love and how much I wish for something else and how much I complain and walk past those who are worse off than I am. What are we doing, what am I doing?
Sometimes I find myself watching television and being shamelessly sucked into the lies that I simply call entertainment. Often times just trying to numb my reality. Maybe if I watch this murder show I will numb myself to the pain that comes when someone I knew is facing prison for a crime they committed, maybe I can numb the pain of grieving the loss of a loved one, maybe I can numb the reality that is called living in this city, this country, this world today, where only bad news sells. What are we doing? How did we get here? How did I get here? What the real question is, where do we go from here?
Yes I recognize that sin is here and its trying to stay. I understand that the root of everything is not new. People were killing their family members from the beginning of time, people have always wanted what wasn't theirs to have. Yes I get it. What happened to hope, faith, and love? What happened to the need for a savior? What happened to the fight for what is right and true (its all relative is not truth)? Where is it? So I have many questions and I too struggle to answer them but I know there is an answer. Let's ask God what he thinks...to be continued.
