Does it sometimes amaze you how cruel people can be at times. It takes a simple flick of the television to see stories of crime, hurt, and of pain. If I were to title it as a movie I would call it, "It's a sad, sad, sad world".
While at Stony Creek last night (Summer Nights) I watched as an older gent let his anger and frustration illustrate itself through drinking. Of course the park security came, and as they did I found myself shaking my head in sadness. This is the world we are called to minister too. The hurt that people feel is pretty universal, how it is dealt with is not.
God loves us more than we'll ever know, and desires to walk with us through the painful times. Instead many are giving in to hopelessness. Let us be people that will provide a shoulder to lean on, an arm to cry on through the rough times. I praise God that I have people in my life for which I can do just that. the first step was for me to open myself up and I believe that is true for everyone. Let us be transparent and honest when it comes to our daily struggles. Furthermore, continue to pray for one another and have genuine concern for one another. Jesus Christ is what this hurting world needs more than ever!
Have an awesome and blessed week!
