Luke 21:34 “And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time
your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this
life, and so that day come upon you unawares.”
I was going to write this yesterday but I thought it would
come off as a bitter post instead of the mixed emotions I’m feeling. I took a
deep breath this early morning with the temps at 6 a.m. hovering in the upper
fifties. Ahhh the summer morning temps have yet to arrive, although I’m sure
they will, for at least a month or so. My sympathy goes out to those enduring
scorching heat and drought.
Back to my thoughts… everything has changed. I didn’t ask
for the change but I was certainly ready and knowing it would happen. I assumed
others were ready too but it looks as if it caught them unawares just as the
bible stated.
In the passing of a week, I woke to find friends who’ve I
known for quite a while sending off some much more than usual hate filled
vibes. Why? What happened? What changed? It’s kind of funny how I woke and saw
a few of my friends hadn’t changed, their vibes came through as often they do,
as a light I see in them, while others just exuded inner hate that poured
through the screen even if they didn’t intend it that way, you could FEEL the pool
of hate.
It started with the Confederate flag. A kid, 20 years old,
walked into an African American church and killed nine people all in the name
of HATE. He had posted on Social Media his hate and was seen touting the
Confederate flag, which by the way is part of American history, but seen as a
waving of hatred of blacks across the south. So the plea went out to remove the
flag from the State Office buildings.
I noticed a small ripple in the pool of hate. The
Confederate flag! How dare they remove this symbol from our history, they
cried. I wish the poor poor me tears would flow out to sea, but no, the hate
wallowed in the pool never to meet a river of love.
I DO realize the Confederate flag is a part of our history
but people are just so riled and ready to spew hate they attacked at the first
sign of unrest. I realized now more than ever before that the white man has
never really accepted the black man into the same circle. Many will deny it but
after this past year it is EVIDENT in the pool of hate! Last week we watched a
movie called BUTLER and it showed me quite vividly how the black community has
been oppressed by the white man for no other reason than the color of their
skin! (A GREAT movie by the way.)
Then the whopper – the Supreme Court ruling that gay
marriage will be accepted in ALL 50 states! Wow, talk about an epic eruption of
hate. The Social Media lit up in rainbows, people changing their profile pic to
be overshadowed in a rainbow as a show of support of gay pride. People making
fun of the gay community as far as going on and saying all pedophiles are
changing THEIR profile pics to the rainbow too, that to me was a slap in the
face to gays and the hatemongers to ‘like like’ when others are WITH them in
their hateful opinions.
Oh wait that’s not all, the so-called Christians stood on
their self-righteous soap box saying, “That is not in the bible! Homosexuality
is against God!” You could even see the smoke flaming out of their nostrils as
the huffed and puffed. Me? I’m being judged for not falling into their hate
trap. I’m teased for my mental instability and physical disability, no human is
right these days.
Did you know that every single homosexual is a human being?
Created by God? They are the sons and daughters of God loving parents; they are
the aunts and uncles of possibly YOU! I know many who love God as much as YOU!
They are HUMAN BEINGS!!!! Yet you treat them as scum on the bottom of your
shoe?
If this is how you carry on Jesus’ work then I better go
back and read the bible and see where Jesus condemned homosexuals to hell
without any chance of salvation. I need to see the story of Jesus walking along
a dirt road coming upon two men having sex and saying, “REPENT you sinner or be
condemned to hell for eternity!”
The way I see it, we ARE ALL condemned to hell!!! His blood
was shed for me a sinner yet I am condemned to hell? People want God back in
this world but maybe what they need is God in their SOUL and stop condemning
every single thing that you don’t agree with. I don’t see millions of
Christians marching and protesting for the return of religion to this nation,
yet you claim to stand with Christ? You turning a blind eye awaiting the return
of Jesus, how’s that working for ya?
I can see the real Christians. Their walk is in Christ. They
lift up their voices in the name of love and ignore all the hate-spewers and
carry the armor of God, in a manner that Christ himself taught Christians to
do. They don’t judge, taunt, tease and hide behind words that they don’t wish
to LIVE by.
While everyone’s newsfeed on Facebook was lighting up to a
Confederate War with a Splash of Skittles, my newsfeed looked like it always
does: food, kitties, roses, flowers, scripture and prayer. Yeah, apparently
that makes me mentally unstable, have a good laugh. Now I have to wonder just
whom I’m befriending. * scratching my head *
As satan is lurking effortlessly and having people do his
bidding, I struggle every day to keep my focus on GOD and LOVE! No easy task in
a world of hate. Wake up people, the world is changing. You don’t want to be
caught sleeping now, do you?
Heb 13:2 “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for
thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”

Joni, you know the meaning of love and what being a Christian is all about. :D
Thank you, John! *big hugs* :D
Joni, I share your frustration. Some people will never get the message, Hate the sin but love the sinner. If you're white, you must be racist. If you're black, you must be discriminated against. If you are Christian, you are persecuted, and if you are Atheist you must be evil. I try to share my faith, and I am unfriended for being preachy. It is becoming very difficult to say anything any more that some one won't criticize. But as i grow older, and see events unfolding before my eyes that lead me to believe we are in the End Times and our Judgment Day is coming soon, I can't help but try to lead others toward the Light of God. I will have to do some intense praying today. God bless you for your efforts in poetry.
Thank you, Dixie. I don't feel so alone when upstanding people like yourself, stand with me and not against me.
It's a crazy world out there but I do feel LOVE will win in the end.
