I’m Not Where I Thought I Was

on June 23, 2015

After hearing of the horror that the community in South Carolina experienced last week, I along with the rest of the world got a rude awakening. I love God, I preach forgiveness, I believe in forgiveness and yet; I found myself feeling an ungodly anger as I watched on television the events that unfolded. The families of these nine victims showed me that I wasn’t where I thought I was. Family member after family member expressed true love, and forgiveness. As I heard them talk to the offender and express their hurt but showed how merciful Jesus is, I thought to myself, you are not there yet. God began to deal with me so I could see things through spiritual eyes. He showed me how the victim’s died in the presence of the Lord. They died expressing love to the very one that killed them. They died with the word of God on their lips, minds and in their hearts. The bible says; it’s not his will that none shall perish, this includes this young man that has committed this horrific act. God wants him to have eternal life also. That might be hard for some people to grasp, but if this young man repents and accepts Jesus as his Lord and Savior, then he will have eternal life. The real question is; will we learn from this and check where we’re at with God, or will we continue to sit in judgement of everyone and bring damnation on our own souls?

Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
