Where Do We Go From Here?
We are in a time of our lives that will undoubtedly go down in the history books. I have seen so many people sharing their experiences, their beliefs, their opinions, and it has been eye opening seeing the transparency being shared across all platforms. Never in my life have I seen one instance affect so many people in so many varying ways. The conversations that are being had and the voices that are speaking up is something that I don't think anybody would have anticipated. It has truly been empowering watching so many of my closest friends step out into uncomfortable spaces and allowing themselves to be vulnerable in ways that they have never been before, and I am truly hopeful that the murder of George Floyd brings us, as a whole, closer together than we have ever been.
With that said, on the flip side, over the last few days I'll have to admit that I found myself getting too wrapped up in the things of the world. Social media has allowed so many of us to have a voice and a platform, while also being one of the greatest distractors that mankind has ever created. I am fully on board with the fight against racism. Fully on board with the fight against evil. However, I am also fully on board with the truth. & the truth is, God knows what He is doing, and we can forget that. The truth is, the officer that killed George Floyd is going to have his day of judgement. Not before a man of this earth, but before the One who is the all encompassing judge, jury, and sentencer. & so will you, so will I. & again, we forget that. I think it can be so easy to point fingers and be outraged at the wrongs of this world, while failing to realize and address the wrongs that we, individually, commit daily.
My encouragement to any and everybody, is yes, continue to fight the good fight. Continue to educate yourself on the matters in play. But also, take some time to examine the sins of your own life. Because truth be told, we *ALL* are going to die, and we *ALL* are going to have to face judgement for the time that we spend on this Earth. Make sure that above all else, your #1 mission in life is to be right with the Lord... because truly, we can fight all of the earthly battles we want, but if our end date comes, and we haven't submitted to Jehovah, what was it all really for?
