Real Life Is Hard!
By Mark Flippo
TV and movies give an unrealistic view of marriage and sex! Everything is not always rosy! Humans are the same as they have always been. The same emotions that can overrun their commonsense understanding. Mob violence of the brain dead still happens. Greed and many other sins have not been conquered by man. God weeps over us 24/7/365. We should be weeping because we bring our Savior so much pain!
We are selfish and cruel towards each other. We make life hard because we are stubborn mule headed jerks. When was the last time you encouraged someone that was broken? Have you offered help unselfishly? Not a motive to make you look better!
James 3:16: "For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice."
Galatians 5:19-21: "The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, disputes, slander, malicious gossip, detraction, envy, arrogance, and shamelessness."
Jesus never pulled any punches. HE would let Pharisees know exactly what He thought of them! He had compassion on those that were humble before God! You best stay off of His bad list! That list is growing by leaps and bounds! We are all in for a world of hurt! Why would you think you are going to get by, when He has destroyed civilizations by the thousands. Killing people by staggering numbers and you think you will just slide under His radar! Not a chance in a trillion! Life is very hard without Jesus in your heart and life! With Him, He lifts you up above the squaller of this life!
Think of praying like the scales at a grocery store, just keep filling them up until you reach a better life in Jesus!
Sometimes it takes more prayer than other times! Don't give up too soon! It is always worth the wait! There is light at the end of your tunnel. Answer time is near!
