I’m Angry

God called us to love others as He loved us. His image bearers. Today, I’m struggling to find that love. Im struggling to find empathy for others who think this world is on the right track, that justice has been served. Im so mad at people I don’t even know. Im also broken for others that I don’t know. I feel the weight of the pain that I KNOW they are feeling. I feel the loss. I feel the sadness of seeing just how far we’ve gotten. But God knew it would be this way. In fact, there’s an entire book written about how desolate and cold this world will become and how we as the body of believers are supposed to be the light in that darkness to share the good news and gospel of our coming Lord. Why do I feel like I don’t want to share it? Not because I have doubts about my beliefs but because I feel like so many are undeserving of His grace. I don’t want these hateful, murderous people to know Jesus loves them. But as I sit and wallow in my flesh, I am reminded that Jesus knew. He knew he was going to be put to death in the most horrific way, yet He still spoke love and light. HE SAID FATHER FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO. In so many ways, I am reminded that I am not worthy of His grace and love either, He graciously has given it because He is love.

Man what I would give to have a heart like Jesus today. To know what waited for me in the distance and still want to bring them to my heart. I pray today for a heart like Jesus. For eyes like Jesus to find the good in a world that makes it so incredibly hard.

Today I’m praying for peace in your heart and mine. I pray that if you’ve never experienced Gods perfect grace, you do today. Jesus is coming back and I believe we’re in the season. Keep oil in your lamps and be ready.

love always.
