My pastor reminded us that those who constantly ask God to “help us, pls help us”….gave the charge TO US, to help this world. God is there to aid us of course. When you need rest. When you need advice and guidance, use His word. But that charge is on us. What are we doing? Charlie was working his butt off. What have you(me) done or doing? Do we sit waiting for the next person to support? Or do we actually do what God commanded us to do and go out there and do mission work. Help others. Bring the truth. Be bold. It’s not about which grp to hate. It’s about how can I help them learn what matters. Jesus. The only one that can help them. Ask, how can I help them. The more we slack off and wait on others, the longer and harder this is gonna get. Wanna guarantee your grandchildren will spend an eternity in Hell? Then slack off telling your children the truth about Jesus. Why should your children take it seriously, when you don’t? Which pretty much guarantees your grandchildren have no chance.
I "try" to pray this prayer every day, and sometimes I fall short, but due to your eloquent screed I thought I would share it:
Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi (Prayer for Peace)
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
