In March of 2006 (which was FIVE years ago..i know, mad math skills!) at church we had a sermon on "How Did the World Get So Messed Up..."and really, based on today, 2006 was probably pretty okay...anyways, regardless of the year, the decade, the month..or simply even the day, our world is pretty broken.
Ya know why?
That dang Adam and Eve had to go and screw it up!
But because we are NOT going to point fingers, we need to make a personal choice to WANT better...to DO better...to BE better...
and it is hard.
That is because we are human, duh!
BUT..it is worth it.
This is where I personally get really confused on how people can operate on an empty tank...BUT again, I was there once so I am going to continue to wish, remind, inspire and pray for everyone to grow...to move forward and CHOOSE...
even when things don't match...
when things are out of place...
when everything seems to be out of sync (i know, you just thought of N'Sync)
when every line seems to be crooked...
when every edge seems to be torn ....
YOU have a CHOICE.
"Today I am giving you a choice between good & evil..between life and death" Deut. 30:15
and then...
"Go Out into the World uncorrupted, a breathe of fresh air in this squalid and polluted society. Provide people a glimpse of good living and the living God..."Phil. 2:15
I love that creation - I think you should make those and put them in your ETSY!
