Just when you thought you figured out the answers to all the questions, they came up with a new set of questions which sends you right back to the start again!
You never really know the whole story! There’s always a loophole, a hidden fact, an untold story, a dark secret or a misunderstanding! So never think for a second that what you think you know is all there is! The greatest investigators have fallen short quite often or they’ve succeeded in convincing the majority that they nailed that investigation! Because in the end for most, it’s all about convincing the mass public! The bitter truth lies in the palm of God’s capable hands! So as you watch others roaming blindly to get from point A to point B, if you can’t pray them up, compliment their strength or effort, lend a helping hand. If neither is possible just quietly get out of their way, let them do the best they can!
Also, did you ever stop to consider if there are any More people that you might’ve offended in your life, so much so that they’re struggling to live still while you’re wanting to be ready to exit? Seriously, do you ever wonder if you forgot one or some and neglected to lift them in prayer for God to intervene and restore them for you after you had made foolish mistakes that had lasting effects in their lives while you were lacking? Have you ever had a strong desire to give a healing hug to the whole world to relieve them all of the bitterness, resentment, pain and suffering that seems too clingy? I think different people feel this in different ways. This is why there are artists, writers, singers, doctors, teachers, etc. I guess this is mine!
The thing is that not everyone heals the same way but most do. Some others don’t want to heal, they prefer hardcore revenge on repeat if at all possible!
No one really cares why a person is evil, has a mean streak, is a criminal or has chosen the wrong path or actions unless that person has been ordered by God Himself or it’s a chosen profession that pays well. Honestly, some people made it their passion to try to get inside other people’s head just by asking them questions to get them to find or see for themselves who they’ve become or where it is they’ve landed in life. And from there they can choose to make an intelligible decision to mend their ways, pay the consequences or both.
Never rejoice over someone else’s failure or the fact that they’ve been caught. Just because they didn’t catch you yet, that doesn’t mean you’re innocent. FOR ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALLEN SHORT OF GOD’S GLORY AND ALL ARE JUSTIFIED FREELY BY HIS GRACE THROUGH THE REDEMPTION THAT CAME BY CHRIST JESUS. (Rom.3:23-24). Know this and understand it well, no one of their own volition wants someone who has done them wrong once or many times to be free of their offence unless God has occupied or preoccupied their heart through Jesus. That is the honest to goodness truth right there I tell you! Human nature cannot survive or overcome wicked traits without God’s gift of Salvation in Jesus. Since Cain it’s been proven lacking and since Abel it’s been proven a challenge. Jesus gifted us His ALL because he knew right off the bat that in order for us to succeed at any good thing in this life is OVER HIS DEAD BODY AND RESURRECTION. So He did just that in gifting us His Salvation.
Think for a second of some characters of the bible. Do you think anyone considered Goliath’s history, lineage or upbringing that turned him into a bully? You think anyone thought of what shaped Jezebel into an evil woman? Did people give second thoughts as to what provoked Cain into killing his own brother? Please, No! More often than not, no one cares. To care enough to find out why things or people are the way they are however is also to nourish the self for improvement purposes and to prevent human failure that comes by lack of instruction. Like the Haitian saying, “when your comrade’s beard catches fire, put yours to soak.” (Just as God used major and minor prophets, servants of old to relay messages to His people, so also God uses ordinary people today to reach others). As it is written in God’s word “My people perish for lack of knowledge,” Hosea 4:6. To become a caring being requires in-depth core values, built-in fruits of the Spirit, Godly characteristics and functioning armors of God. To be a good person inside and out, no one knows or considers what work effort has been put into maintaining it. From the bottom of the barrel all the way up to it’s brim, no one knows sacrifices made, shamed insults endured, scrapes or falls experienced. The present isn’t always as smooth as it seems. But who cares of such if not God’s servant!
There are some things that even God respects for the human being and will not cross its line. One of them is a weary and tired soul, He understands the need to rest. There’s rest in the final destination in life but there’s also rest in God’s bosom as He lead one in the right path throughout life and in ministry. Hence His word says “Come unto me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).
