This is like the parting of the "seas" on both sides.
And Jesus said we need to take the strait (difficult) and narrow path, not the wide and easy road.
Stay focused straight ahead, lean neither to the left hand or right.
But it's difficult when what you know to be right is challenged on a daily basis.
Jesus didn't come to fight a physical battle with steal and iron.
The war is spiritual. And the only way it can be won is by winning hearts and minds.
Some are just so sunk in blackness and criminal.. it's hard for us who have never been in that forsaken realm to even understand how they can do the things they do.
We don't want to believe that people can be so.. corrupt.. deprived of any feelings of compassion or remorse.
They use industries like movies and music to desensitize us, so what they do is just nothing more than a script of a movie or a lyric of a song.
The reality has lost it's bite on the conscience of humanity.
If they can make us accept these as normal, it makes their guilt less horrendous.
Having our conscience seered with a hot iron, so they become acceptable norm.
I never liked scary movies. I seen a few when I was young and still today they leave impressions on my mind.
Then you grow up and mingle with the real world, realizing those movies aren't so far from the truth.
They actually use media to forcast the truth while making it appear as though it's just someone's imagination put on film.
A lot of what you see in film is taken from reality.
I think the majority of people have the priveledge of living in somewhat of a protected bubble of what we believe the world looks like, from our point of view. It's not that way for a lot of other people that live in different bubbles and different realities.
But until those things that we don't want to know and don't want to see are brought into the light of day,
they will continue to thrive mostly on innocent individuals that have nowhere to seek help.
The world is a scary place. And the only way to get through it and to love our neighbor, is to expose the darkness to the light,
no matter how disturbing it is. Some people have strong minds and the ability not to break and others, just the mere thought can send them over the edge. It's a fine line. How do protect the weak while exposing them to the evil?
It's like tearing off a scab on an infected wound. It hurts. But healing won't come until it is treated.
The world has an infection. It is corrupt. It is diseased. And the "Physicians" have no clue how to cure it, because unfortunately most of them are the cause. Whether those "Physicians" be Politicians, Economists, So-called Healthcare, even Religion..
They all have infections in them.
Bandaids need to be removed. Not everyone has the stomach to look at the wound. But what needs to be done, needs to be done.
Or the world will never heal.
God didn't send a flood because he hated mankind, He hated what we had become. And the only way to cleanse it all was with a deluge. So it could heal and begin again. Sometimes a wound is so grevious it needs to be cauterized, burned out. Like Sodom and Gomorrah, precise medical procedure to an area that had become infected.
I don't know what tomorrow will bring. All I know is, today my eyes are on the Lord. Forward march.
