CLIMBING OUT OF THE DEPTHS OF SHALLOW LIVING

We are living in an era of entitlement. The material demands that are made of us by this generation are as an established or recognized right. The children of today requests for attention are unceasing. Their insistence on the accomplishments of others are as thought it were rightfully due them. We must guard against spoiling the future of this world by the overindulgent wasteful behavior of the younger generation.

We should witness to everyone. People who are demon possessed, or of an unclean spirit, desire to be set free. Those on earth who make their home amongst the dead are tormented by demons that only God can bind. When people are cruel and inhumane, God must rebuke legions of demons to calm the storm which brews within those consumed.

What do we have that God hasn't given us? Those who are greatly gifted should understand that nothing originates with us. Our God given gifts are instruments that we learn to master and are a source of enormous pride. When being prideful takes over our lives, God will use pain to break us, reaching through the pride to bring us back into His fold. We are then like broken instruments that God can use to make beautiful music through our dependence on Him.  

When people show you a strong positive emotion of regard and affection, which is too obvious to be doubted, treasure the time spent with them. The characteristic of loyal and faithful conduct exhibited by someone in your life, is rare and deserves to be cherished and acknowledged.    

A nation divided by politics, race, religion, gender and social status is separated into parts and pieces resembling a fork or branches of a tree. It is no longer solid; having no gaps or breaks, but is soft and yielding to pressure. A once united nation, now divided by internal differences, presents itself as vulnerable to those that would seek its demise. This divided house proudly struts its internal conflict of accusations that fellow countrymen are responsible for some lapse or misdeed for the world to witness. One day realizing that everyone of the world is not in the best interest of the nation. Lead as one, or prepare to follow those truly United.

Be a person regarded as an inspired teacher, a proclaimer of the will of God. A person who inspires with confidence by giving hope and/or courage to darkness dwellers of the world. When God assigns us to do His will, this divine assignment is not subject to change or variation. 

If opposites attract, why do opposing religious views repel? Those with a different spiritual perspective watch from a distance to see how we function as members within our places of worship. The unfair treatment of a person or group on the basis of prejudice of any kind should not be the standard, model, or pattern regarded as typical of those within faith congregations. There should be no politics within the house of God, for this will surely cause power struggles. No mosque, synagogue, basilica, cathedral, church, or chapel can effectively attract those with different life experiences when their customary way of operation is to repel.
