How widely known is the day we find ourselves in.
I'm pretty grateful for my life. I'm pretty grateful that none of my loved ones had to face the tragedy of 9/11. I'm thankful that I was no where near NY or Washington and that I knew no one from there. But why do I all of a sudden feel so a part of this day?
I'm sure you readers turn on the TV or computer sometime in your life. But whether you've seen it on TV or online or wherever; there is a current issue on the rise.
Hear about the church burning these Quran's on this day? Due to public rejection and outside threats, they've decided to not do such thing.
Its sad to see that people who hold the name I call myself (Christian), represent me in such a way. Its sad that people who say they love Jesus and want to follow his ways, choose to express their love by hating others? I'm not claming to be little miss perfect, but I truly desire for the love that we have to be exposed to the world more instead of hate. I don't understand though. Then again I may be naive or narrow minded to some degree but I just wish the world didn't have to be that way. Life is difficult and as the bible says, each day brings it own troubles. (Matthew 6:36). At least we're alive and well and God knows what the future hold for us. And thats all that really matters.
Nice post. I agree. Where did Christ ever show this behavior was acceptable?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I feel like maybe I lead on too much on emotions when I think about things. Its even tough for me to really be guided by His will. I'm lost little pebble in a river or questions. :P But thanks :) God Bless!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right...and this whole Quran burning incident has been all over my school this past few weeks. I can't imagine what had gotten into those people to think that doing that would make things any better. And it saddens me (as it does you) to see Christians act this way. I truly believe that it is people like this who give Christians a bad rap.
ReplyDeleteI know. I feel like we need to be shining our light even brighter these days. DUDE, its tough but we can pull through. :) Philippians 4:13
