Title:
Live and Let Live
Scripture
1 Peter 3:8-22
Story behind the Story
This was inspired by a couple of people who were ranting on a posting with Tebow and his book. I got into some back and forth discussion, it creates some anxiety on my side, which I know I’m open to when I respond to non-believers. The bible states “do not repay evil for evil”. Now and finally now, this scripture comes to mind. I can’t change anyone’s mind let alone a person who has a deep seeded non-faith towards Jesus. It really causes me and my heart to feel for these people for they lack the experience of having the creator talk to them and impact their life in a positive, constructive way. If this was other world religion(s), they wouldn’t be nearly as open. Only when it comes to Jesus do people feel they can put the creator down.
Poem
They mock, They ridicule
They state only facts will do
Even if God himself showed to these non-believers
They Would probably doubt his existence
They doubt even though science was invented by the creator
Scripture states they need faith
If they can’t believe in what they can see
How can we expect to believe in something they can’t
The world is one amazing miracle
People are another God Miracle
Why can’t people acknowledge that
The last few years have been amazing
It’s help me realize my faults
I can’t handle the world alone
A wise person told me they are actually impressed
By the fact people are willing to handle the world themselves
The world as we know it is falling apart
Morals from generations past have failed
People wanting independence thinking they are smarter than they really are
Not sure if it’s pride, fooliness or what
All I know my heart hurts
They provide no credit to anyone who believes different
All they can do is put down stating facts are needed
I can respect the need for facts
Heck, even a former preacher became one of the leaders
Of the non-believer movement
Not sure what happen in his life to become so bitter towards believers
He probably would make me look foolish
All I have is my own testimony
If a person tries to rebuke that, they are a bigger fool than they realize
I must learn to have grace and move on
The enemy wants us to get in the trenches and argue
When we know the outcome will be different
I for one have faith in God
He shows up daily in my life
Where it’s headed, I have a plan for you he stated long ago
The anxiety is still a little there
Although I know different
I thank the two I read about for inspiring this
I hope to be better prepared for future doubters
To let live and let live
Not get caught up in the mud, which does nothing but gets us dirty
Thank you Lord for showing up in my life
I pray for the rest of mankind!
Amen!
