a few recent events have brought me to tears. i know pain is a real part of life, yet from time to time i am overcome with an incredible sadness as i witness God's goodness used for evil.
God gives each person an unlimited amount of influence. this influence is designed to be used to bring blessings to others. yet, so often the power of influence God gives others is used to bring destruction and cursing to others.
take for example the recent video of the teenage girls beating their classmate for over 30 minutes. as i watched the news report on tv, tears were brought out for the victim. i also had the thought pass through my mind, "what if the victim would of been my daughter?"
and now we are witnessing another cult that used religious influence and power in a very destructive manner for 100's of girls.
under these two accounts are emotions that stem from a very real and personal account from a family member that happened last week. she is a single mother and her ex picked up their 6 year old son and spent the next 36 hours at a crack house. the child was left alone in the crack house with no food or water. he witness the destructive power of crack. the child was left to protect himself in a world of adult crack users. his daddy abandoned him.
God gives us power and influence to bring blessings to others.
