We are watching a movie and it stirred a thought.
In my Christian journey early on I struggled with the idea that the God I loved and whorshiped would allow children to be abused, tortured and hurt.
However, I came to accept it was not for me to understand only to accept what was.
This movie reminds me, that when mankind turned against God and rose up against him and made himself the one whom to worship and God sent his wrath upon man it included all mankind, no one was excluded, not even the innocent. It is up to the adults and the leaders to kneel in prayer and return to the grace of God so that all are redeemed and returned to God's favor.
When I choose to have my children, I knew deep in my soul, there was no excuse for me when I stood before God, if I was not the mother to the children he in trusted to me, I should be. And it was only through seeking him and allowing his blessing to heal my pain and shortcomings that it could be, regardless of the cost to me.
As with any child we have moments of rebellion and selfishness, of hurt and anger and I have had my moments with that toward my God, but he knows my true heart that he will always be my father and my love and honor for him will only grow stronger and I grow wiser.
May we all seek his love and grace through prayer, not for our self, but for all of mankind. May we love as Jesus taught us to love so that those we meet will see the true spirit of love.
We love with a knowledge of what a man can become not who he is in his sin, that is love that includes the ability to move mountains and change hearts and save souls.
Thank you Father for insight and the ability to share your love
