The older I get, the harder this life gets. The more I learn, the less I thought I knew something. The more I see, the more I question things in this life here on this place we call earth. I just thought all the planets we learned in school were so awesome and simple.. one closer and we'd burn up and one further out we'd freeze to death. Now they say were not even the center of our own galaxy, that we are one of millions... The harder I work, the more I realize I'm only wearing myself out and only looking forward to a broken down body for what? Money that could come or go at any moment?
The more people I meet, the more I realize that there are a lot of strange cats in this world.... Including this one....
The more things that seem to fall apart in my life, the more I question how important the things that have come and gone were to begin with and that need and want are two very different things. The more friends I accumulate on my Facebook page, the more I realize that I don't have very many "friends" as I assumed... The drop everything and come running kind of friends that is....
The bible says everything in this world is vanity... You work to eat and provide your wants and needs, you get married to share your life with someone you love, and raise kids with them to pass on to a new generation. You buy nice things to passify the time to later on not possess because it lost your attention after some time, only to be replaced with something newer and cooler and shinier.... Faster, better...
I look at relationships today and see this ever replacing trend merging into marriages/relationships... Love has been replaced with lust
Men and women trading up like they would a new car.. love losing value .
Things always changing, always getting more complicated and fancier to make life seem simpler... When has actually made us softer, lazier, more demanding, less demanded.. more expensive....
Spend part of your salary on something nice to only have to work more to pay for something you don't have time to use, only possess... What the what?!?...
More time at work and away from home to pay for a higher mortgage, for a home you may never pay off because you had to finance for most of your life....
Cars and trucks that cost as much as a nice home used to cost only to be worth what cars used to cost when you finally get the title in your hand...
These are all depressing bits and pieces to everyones lives today.
You work your whole life to afford these things to realize that the best things in life were free and priceless at the same time...
The days of front porch sitting have been replaced with sitting at the office with no time to kill....
What have we done to ourselves???
We have let ourselves be herded like cattle into a lot of always wanting more to make life happier and grander.... To be weighted down with bills and stress and so much pressure to make your head explode....
God said do not fear, do not worry, and do not sin.... But this life has us running in fear and worrying our lives away because we surround ourselves in sin...
We are then stuck in a self inflicted catastrophe..... And we are like " WHY IS ALL OF THIS HAPPENING TO ME GOD???"
What kind of answer do we expect God to give us for these mountains we build...
We go to church to hear a heart breaking or heart warming message only to find out it was our fault to begin with.. all along...
Where was God?... Right there ... All along..
Why didn't He do anything to stop us?... He tried, but we wouldn't listen..
Couldn't He have given us a sign or let us know.... He did...
We didn't take heed
Couldn't He have tried to get our attention??....
He did....
He gave us instruction, structure, law, examples, help, a life line, a second chance.... He gave us Jesus, His only begotten Son...
And we still didn't listen...
But for some reason He gave us forgiveness, salvation, redemption through Jesus....
He gives us mercy and grace only to be repaid with anger and bitterness, lust and greed... Sin and self righteousness..
Man that's a lot of weight on my shoulders and heavy on the heart...
He gave His only begotten Son only to be spit on and rejected because He loves you and wants a personal relationship with you... So with that said....
What's important to you..???
What's necessary??
What do you want out of life??
