Yesterday I could only watch a little of the news of the killings in Texas. My heart kept breaking as I listened and knew I needed to stop watching it. I use the phrase often in this day and age, " I can't fix this". Truthfully, I believe the fix will come when the devil and sin is done away with. Even if they took all the guns away, people would find a way to kills. Killings is nothing new, from the very beginning, the very first killing was brother killing brother.
I do not hide my mind on issues or try to run from them. Except to find a place to think upon while I put Band-Aids on the brokenness of my heart. I don't wish to go to heaven before my time to get out of this troubled world. I don't usually debate with others on the world issues because I can't fix it. All the laws laid down has not stopped people from killing each other. Since the beginning brother killed brother even though there was no guns then. It's a heart issue, so we need a heart fixer.
What I do for my broken heart is take it to the only one who can fix this, and someday God will. Someday He will say, enough is enough, go Jesus, my son and get our family and bring them home. I have been working on a new world without sin and the devil, all will be fixed
The gospel of Jesus Christ is the message of the good news of salvation offered to mankind by grace through faith in the finished works of Christ on the cross (Ephesians 2:8-9). It is a message not only of eternal life but one that encompasses the total plan of God to redeem mankind from the ravages of sin and death, from Satan and the curse that is upon all the earth for eternity. Do you know Him? If you died today where would you spend eternity?
I Can't Take A Heart That's Broken
Make It Over Again
But I Know A Man Who Can
I Can't Take A Soul That's Sin Sick
Wash It White As The Snow
But I Know A Man Who Can
Some Call Him Savior, The Redeemer Of All Men
I Call Him Jesus, For He's My Dearest Friend
If You Feel That No One Loves You
And Your Life Is Out Of Hand
I Know A Man Who Can
I Can't Walk Upon The Water
Calm The Dark And Raging Sea
But I Know A Man Who Can
I Can't Cause Blind Eyes To Open
Or Make The Lame To Walk Again
But I Know A Man Who Can
The people here at the church I pastor have often heard me say something like "There will never be peace, lasting and true peace, until Jesus returns and we are with Him in eternity. All efforts here on earth will turn out empty.
ReplyDeleteGood post. You are right, only God can change hearts that will respond to Him.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is a Para at a school in a small town and this has certainly shook everyone up. They had two more days next week but are ending school tomorrow, which I totally agree they should with the ending so close. The kids, teacher, paras, kitchen help, couches and office workers have had enough, they are hurting emotionally and now this shooting has just piled more fear on the hurt.
DeleteJesus is our only answer, our only hope. Maybe if the young man who committed these heinous shootings had accepted the Lord, this would never have happened. We are all grieving at this time.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Betty!
It's a issue that brings division at a time we need to be in prayer for how to lesson this happening again.
DeleteI love this song…if these kids had no guns they could not kill so many.
ReplyDeleteIf they are bent on killing they will use other instruments.
Delete😭🙏🏾
ReplyDeleteAmen, Betty. If it breaks our heart, can you imagine God's?
ReplyDeleteI think the closer we got to Him we gain an understand of His love for the whole world. I shut my heart off for years before I got saved and the tears and heartbreak came back, thank God. I have been watching some doc about PTSD and how hard it is to change ones mindset from the horror around us. It has helped me understand myself more but mostly understand the deep love of Jesus for other. Hope all is well with you.
