I sometimes toss and turn with the myriad of stories that I encounter in my daily life. For example, a man who moved a lot of weight (Sold Drugs) as his profession ends up getting caught and goes to jail. Turns out he is a righteous dude- friendly, articulate and very giving in nature. Should I hate the fact that he chose that decision for his life or should I just accept that he was a savvy business man who chose a profession that is not legal?
I understand many of the bad choices that good people have made over the course of their lives. I do not condone wrong or even judge it, The Bible makes it pretty clear about consequences of our actions. I just have a sour taste in my mouth when I ponder that facts that the role models our youth look up to do not always have the best intentions.
What about the man who beats his wife (or vice versa) in private, yet he is a prominent figure in the community, work or his place of worship? What is the rationale behind that? Is it stress, jealousy, or ignorance? I don't know, but this type of action has been going on for years.
My favorite is the couple who get married with such high expectations for the future and end up being the family that prays? Life is what it is, but sometimes we make it worse with our own "SKILL ABILITIES". I have an old fried named Paul who was a fine man, but often struggled to do what was right. He even said he had to pummel himself at times to keep on that path. To all those Paul's out there-- I say this-- Know that the good that you wish and the bad that you do is just an obstacle that allows you to use skills that you did not even know that you had. Keep your headz up!!!!
I am WarD...
