Self-inclination(importance) has put many on their own carefully crafted pedestals, and these imagine they are entitled, as well as superior to nearly everyone else! They are not prepared for the reality that what goes up, must come down, nor of the dangers involved in such mentalities, as REALITY IS ever near to teach us all...
IF EVER THE BIBLE was needed, it IS NOW, because this SEEMS to be the time spoken of in 2 TIMOTHY 3:
2+++People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3+++without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,
4+++treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—
5+++having a form of godliness but denying its power.
Cast to the winds are the very matters which lead us aright, safely, and productively; such as virtue, morality, ethics, integrity, respect, regard, and all those GOOD qualifying behaviours which aid us in existing wholesomely! Little consideration is being given to the weightier issues at hand, as emotions run rampant, and diminish the power of the mind, and self-control! More common are the negatives which take us into times of great peril, and discord!!!
What is happening today IS endangering all on this Earth, and the souls which belong TO *GOD*, but the current attitude is far bent towards aggression, and smugness that NO thought is geared towards the future, only to the moment!!!
Far too many ignore the Children, and what tomorrow will be like for them; they are too hopped up as if on drugs, to gnash, quarrel and assault! And in the meantime, complacency, fear, and callousness has disallowed those who might assist in quelling such! Hatred, anger, violence, and even worse has become so normal that the numbers who look the other way, HAS grown significantly, and don't you know that SOME of these HAVE the power to defuse the situation(s) at hand?!!
Time on this planet is NOT to spend battling one another; it IS a time to spend battling that which is NOT right, just, or good, but even that, is NOT to battle flesh, and blood, instead, the principalities, rulers, and powers of darkness; the evil, and wicked forces (EPHESIANS 6)! WE ARE aiding, and abetting evil as we clash with each other, and consequently, ALLOW souls, even our own, TO be chained to a world slated for total destruction WHEN THE LORD returns and judges us all! HOW can we, in any measure of conscience, CONTRIBUTE to the eternal downfall of others, or our own self, FOR the fleeting, temporal, and senseless sake of being entitled to use our free will in wrongness???
1+++“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
2+++For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3+++“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
4+++How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?
5+++You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
We must judge ourselves, and judge of our own acts, but not make our word a law to everybody. We must not judge rashly, nor pass judgment upon our brother without any ground. We must not make the worst of people. Here is a just reproof to those who quarrel with their brethren for small faults, while they allow themselves in greater ones. Some sins are as motes, while others are as beams; some as a gnat, others as a camel. Not that there is any sin little; if it be a mote, or splinter, it is in the eye; if a gnat, it is in the throat; both are painful and dangerous, and we cannot be easy or well till they are got out. That which charity teaches us to call but a splinter in our brother's eye, true repentance and godly sorrow will teach us to call a beam in our own. It is as strange that a man can be in a sinful, miserable condition, and not be aware of it, as that a man should have a beam in his eye, and not consider it; but the god of this world blinds their minds. Here is a good rule for reprovers; first reform thyself.
People DON'T understand, so they don't embrace that we are THE HUMAN RACE, and ARE all pretty general in every way! Our likeness to one another WAY outweighs our differences, AND the differences that we have DO contribute to the whole WITH purpose and reason! That is not to say that we should automatically accept one and all, STILL, it means that we SHOULD recognize that those we consider so different ARE actually, more like us than not, AND we OUGHT to learn to discern effectively enough THAT we only avoid those whom are evil, or wicked, or dangerous! Skin colour, eye colour, body shapes, and sizes, hair, and other EXTERNAL features do NOT depict the being within, BUT have use according to THE CREATOR, THE LORD *GOD*, and to perhaps, the geographical makeup of the Earth! HOWEVER, our diversity is NOT a line drawn in the sand, and is NOT reason enough to hate, spurn, or whatever other negative arises from such, THOUGH there are instances where a separation should exist, but that does NOT indicate that we should despise them, because we ARE able to stand in LOVE even when we are not close!!!
In this time, we have INSTANT hatred being spewed PREMISED upon emotions, or self-assumption! This is NOT good for anything, nor anyone, and creates more problems than necessary for everyone! To exist in hatred, animosity, aggression, violence, and worse IS as a poison to the being, AND to societies everywhere! It IS as against our TRUE design as it gets, but not many are willing to believe the GOOD OVER all else! Alas, it is as if too many have resigned themselves to being of the enemy, and not of *GOD*!!!
All I know is that we OUGHT to take a hard, long look inside of ourselves BEFORE we judge, condemn, and deny others, BECAUSE we are NOT so unlike anyone else! We SHOULD be finding ways to bring comfort, peace, hope, and ALL which is beneficial TO the world, and each other, FOR the sake of an OPTIMAL experience here on this planet, which IS SO SHORT, we don't even know when our time is up, AND for the good of the Children, AND for the sake of souls! Perhaps the eternal REALITY of our souls doesn't mean much to a LOT of people, YET, it IS WORTH thinking about, and weighing in on!!!
ISN'T anyone else TIRED of the constant rife of strife which are facing these days? AND what makes it even worse IS that we CAN change it NOW, IF we would simply, embrace facts, LOVE, and compassion! WHY do we SO long to exclude everyone else, when we CANNOT exist alone, or on our own, and this includes, of course, THE LORD *GOD* ALMIGHTY! The GOOD IS within us, and IS to be utilized FOR endless reasons, THAT we might enjoy, and contribute to our very limited time in this realm! We are NOT here to hate, hurt, and destroy, no matter the trend, and anyway, what kind of sense does that make???

I am reposting this because it seems fitting, and necessary! May *GOD* BE WITH us, but mostly, may we BE WITH HIM, THAT HE IS WITH us, and that lost souls might notice HIM, seek HIM, find HIM, and FOLLOW HIM! PRAISE HIM IN ALL YOUR WAYS, ALL OF YOUR DAYS: DO GOOD, and BE GOOD; THIS IS TRUE WORSHIP!!!
