It saddens me that people in general have lost sight of what God is. [me included-on a daily basis] That Christians parade around preaching at people without compassion and love behind it. I'm sure most would agree that if you're not speaking in love, you're as good as wrong. Nothing you say is going to be heard anyway.
Gossip and lust and debauchery and pride and hatred and judgement seem to be written on the hearts of everyone that surrounds me. I don't exclude myself, I'm as guilty as the rest. The sad part about most of these individuals is that these faults are not accompanied by remorse, or love, or compassion, or any real knowing of God. Just bitterness and jealousy and drama.
And I'm sure that 99.9% of the people reading this have no idea why I'm going on this rant, but they all can connect. There's probably not one that doesn't understand. That's a problem.
I'm disappointed today. And everybody that disappointed me probably isn't going to read this. And if they do, they'll probably just mutter something about me being "holier than thou" and be done with it. But it sure makes me wonder for a split second where all the good in the world is hiding.
But certain people don't let me forget. It's in the hearts of all of us, speaking ever so softly. It's in our prayers. It's in every attempt we make at being upright, despite how many times we fall. It's in the faith we have despite ourselves and those around us, for the sake of One who's faithful and bigger than all our failures. It's in everything we're not, it's in God, and our submission to Him.
