Mighty and Glorious is He.
Have you ever noticed that when you were a kid that if you did something as simple as learning to tie your shoe's was a great achievement? People cheered you on and everything was wonderful right?
Just in comparison, if you do something that you feel is an achievement as an adult it is more like "So?" It's met with envying and jealousy. Of course, when you were growing up that was considered growing pains. What is it called when you are an adult?
You see that a lot in your grown life. Kids have it made and they don't even realize it. Think about it.
If you went to, your closet and put on all black and striped hose and chained boots at 50, you would be considered , um... Eccentric.
If you were five lets say... you were considered to be an artist, creative.
Isn't it strange how the rules change when you age? Back in the 60's and early 70's it was taboo for a television show to show a married couple in the same bed, now that and things that are much more visible and not left to the imagination is shown on television and is expected.
At one time the human life was honored and respected from conception now it is considered nothing more than something that can be destroyed and thrown away like the everyday trash. When did society become this way? When did the respect of another human being leave the natural course of things?
The elderly and the unborn is the most fragile in our society now when at one time they were the most respected. People were respectful of others and tried to help their neighbors and friends, now it is let me see what can I do to them before they do it to me.
Wouldn't be wonderful if life turned back to the principles that were much sweeter and people were understanding of the human spirit and did what they could to help others without a second thought?
I know, I know, I'm just as guilty as anyone else. I use to be extremely trusting and forgiving. As I grew so did the society. After being walked over so many times you grow weary of turning the cheek. A man years ago walked the dusty and dirty roads that taught the principles of forgiveness, love and long-suffering. A perfect man, a king among us that was made the perfect sacrifice for all. I still can't imagine what it must of been like for him. He was made fun of, ridiculed, beaten and eventually killed for what he taught.
That man is still the greatest man that ever walked the face of this earth. Of course I still fall short, I still make mistakes, but the man that came to earth as a child and grew into a man was the perfect sacrifice for every mistake and misjudgment I ever made.
The Lord God and Savior was that man, and he still lives and still has the power to lift man up. He gives strength to the weary and a loving and forgiving heart that most can not comprehend. He is a friend to the lonely, the lost and the forgotten. He knows the pain of what you have gone through because he was a man. He is the father to the fatherless and healer of broken hearts.
He still performs miracles in the lives of people whether they recognize it or not. The birth of child, the peace of a dying man, the healing of a terminal illness, the accident that have taken a life is brought out of the wreckage.
He still lives, isn't it time you talked to him?
