One thing no matter how hard I try to understand is evil. I am talking the Hitler type of evil. I don’t know if its my path in life or how and where I was raised but I just don’t understand it. I guess some people do just like to watch the world burn. For whatever reason that flips their switch. One thing that I do understand though is that evil doesn’t just show up on your door step one day and say, “Hey why don’t you try me out and have some fun.” It seeps in slowly like a water running over rock a small trickle over time becomes something as large and massive as the Grand Canyon. Each time evil passes through it just takes away a little more of the good in us and creates a cavern that craves to be filled. Unfortunately the things that try to fill it don’t and so more is sought. Its the, “Hey its been a tough week I am going to try something new. I deserve it I worked really really hard this week and I want to feel good.” So you try just a little bit. Whatever your “vice” may be, drugs, sex, alcohol or pornography you try just a little bit. Then next week its,”hey last week that was a fun way to end a hard week, “I’ll try that again”. Then slowly it becomes a crutch and instead of after a bad week its a bad couple of days, or one bad day, then a couple of hours. For some it can be so bad that some may dismiss other morals in life to attain their new vice and thats when things really get rolling. God gave us free will we don’t have to love him. We don’t even have to acknowledge he exists, but it is his home that he made in which we live. We don’t play by his rules then we don’t get to rise into heaven. I know that in a world that tries to preach that “nothing is wrong” or “its all your own point of view” the idea of right and wrong gets blurred. There is true right and wrong. I don’t mean to offend anyone but its a fact. God loves you and he wants to spend time with you, but at the end of the day if he must he will lock you out of the house. I hear stories of parents at their wits end trying to help their children that have chosen the wrong paths. Its so heartbreaking, again and again they try but for some they can’t get through no matter what help they try to employ and so they have to let them go before it ruins the entire family. The same is with God he hopes and loves till the very last day. He patiently waits at the window waiting for you to walk up the sidewalk and knock on the door asking for forgiveness so he can let you in. He wants you there. No matter what you have done he will forgive you. He loves you that much but you have to be willing to let him into your life. He won’t do it for you. He won’t make you. He loves you enough to give you the freedom to make your own choice. All you have to do is pray and ask for him to come into your life. Take some time to get to know him, pray and read the teachings of Jesus in the Bible. Most importantly go to Church. Nothing is more helpful trying something new than surrounding yourself with a team of people with the same goal. God is waiting cause he loves you.
Matthew 13:47-53
47"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net which was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind; 48when it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into vessels but threw away the bad. 49So it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous, 50and throw them into the furnace of fire; there men will weep and gnash their teeth. 51"Have you understood all this?" They said to him, "Yes." 52And he said to them, "Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old." 53And when Jesus had finished these parables, he went away from there,
