I Missed You...

Why is it that every time I turn around there is provocative activity. It doesn't take much to see the world turning in lust, or homosexuality, or just simply sin. Why is it that the lost are so out of touch with what we are called to do. Maybe it is that they do know what we are suppose to do but simply refuse. I am watching a special on t.v. about South African children. Most of which have aids or don't have any living parents or brothers and sisters. We live in a country where everything we need is handed out or sold for a price. I feel horrible about these kids in Africa. Do you think some of these kids have had the chance to hope for something more than what they can see. I guess some of them have. I guess something I struggle with right now is 'do these kids or teens or adults who have never heard of God have a chance to get into the Kingdom.' I guess the same thought can be applied to mentally disabled people. Just because they can't understand that there is a God and how much he has done for us, does that mean that they don't get to go to heaven. I guess we will never really know until we get there. I would like to think that He shows mercy on these people. And at that, condemn us for not reaching them. I think that is fair. We are called to go and make disciples of all nations... I think that includes Africa.

Below is a statement of faith by Hillsong United. The song is called (appropriately enough) The Stand.

So I’ll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all

So I’ll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours
