Life is Offered

A thief comes only to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance.
John 10:10 HCSB

We have an enemy and his hatred is filling the hearts of men and women today over petty issues. I see this hatred in social media. I follow the ABC and SBS news on Facebook. When challenging things are happening, as they are now around same sex marriage, the comments are disgusting. We cannot allow ourselves to be fuelled by hate.

Satan is stealing friendship, love and compassion and replacing it with vile threats, arguments and hateful comments. A blind people do not see the manipulation that goes on but it is there. How can our country become so filled with hatred? As people turn from God they are empty and empty vessels make the most sound.

Jesus gives life as an alternative. He had the haters as well. The haters took Him to the cross. The same hate that crucified Christ is slaughtering innocent children, slaying human beings all for it's own lust for blood. A wise person see this and refuses to play the game.

Christians are also prone to fall for vindictive diatribe against those who oppose them, this should not be so. We can't be schoolyard boys ready for a dust up! Step back, breathe and seek God. We are here to do His will. Amen!

I hear an old song: 'What the world needs now is love sweet love, it's the only thing that there's just too little of.'
