I am a person who asks many questions and am one who can’t turn a blind eye to anything. I have set in pews for more than 20 years and still I see the lines of right and wrong getting blurred. I always wonder why?
I don’t understand it. Is it going to take losing everything before we, as a people care for someone other than ourselves? Why are we comfortable with walking by people who hurt with blinders on? Why do we want to forget their pain? Why do we wait for someone else to show up to give a hand? Why, when we hear of children being sold into sex trafficking, do we still act like our world is ok? Why have we allowed the voice of racism to rise above truth? Their isn’t racism, there is hatred that knows no boundaries and has no limits. Why would anyone ever turn color into something that it’s not? Why? Are we really that blind? Little girls and boys of all colors are being sold into sex slavery while we drink our coffee this morning and color has nothing to do with it. We need to wake up and see straight.
Why would we rather hate than love? Why do we fuel fires instead of putting them out? Why do we give ourselves excuses for our cold hearts? Why? Why do we attend churches that think more of reaching the world, than our own families that are falling apart? Why do we think that one trip to Israel makes us super spiritual, when everything around us is dying? Why are we so wrapped up in our lives, that we could care less for another human being? Why do we believe that loving others only means the ones we like? Why do we always want to be noticed and admired by our peers and are willing to kill to get noticed? Why do we constantly brag about every little detail of our small existence, all the while our next door neighbor struggles to eat and we haven’t noticed them at all? Why?
It is time to stop being a Stepford wife or husband and break out of the mold that we’ve allowed ourselves to be shaped into! It’s time to care! It’s time to love everyone! It’s time to get our focus off of ourselves and see the ones who are crying out for help! It is time to be real! It’s time to be faith in action! It’s time to be a warrior! It’s time for our battle cry to cry for someone else! It’s time for the tides to change! It’s time for the weak to be strong! It’s time for His cause to be sought after! It’s time for families to unite! It’s time for the orphans to get adopted! It’s time for the hungry to be fed! It’s time for justice to prevail! It’s time for all to answer the call! It’s time!
