Our responsibilty.
So tonight, i played a song i wrote for some friends, with a lyric "jesus, dont fail them now" in to. This lyric was questioned. I was questioning. Josh and i talked for a long time, me struggling, with why if we believe God blesses us daily, and brings us joy etc. He does not do it for the South. Why He in all his power rise up?
Josh tried to give me his answers but it just wasnt working. I was growing weaker in my own thoughts every second. I have seen this question destroy even the seemingly solid...
I was falling asleep, but knew i should at least pick up my bible first. I couldnt go to sleep with such a heavy mind.
This is what i opened my bible to, this is what i read.
"But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne. ALL NATIONS will be gathered in his presence, and he will seperate them as a shepard seperates the sheeps from the goats. He will place the sheep at his right hand and the goats at his left. Then the King will say to those on the right 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inheirt the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For i was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger and you invited me into your home. I was naked and you gave me clothing. i was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prision, and you visited me.
...." i assure you, when you did it to the least of these, you were doing it to me"
but also, i read that;
"Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, 'Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the Devil and his demons! For i was hungry, and you didnt feed me. I was thirsty, and you didnt give me anything to drink. i was a stragner, ad you didnt invite me into your home. i was naked, and you gave me no clothing. I was sick, and in prison, and you didnt visit me.... i assure you when you refeused (notice REFEUSED) to help the least of these, you were refusing to help me.''
God's love through us. God in them. God in us.
God is working.
but we certainly have to fill our part, human beings have a huge reponsibilty, not only for the pain and suffering in our world, but for listening to God, acting as jesus did, and doing what we can to help where we can.
"
and one day Your hope, it will enflame,and peace it will shine your name, and the darkness that grew, in the night,will be bathed in light."Jesus i believe in your plan, and i know that it is good. Amen
