i guess i should use this more for the glory of my God and for actual; personal reflection, rather than for the amusement of my own self through reblogs.Â
Lets see, well. I got a new job at Chick Fil-A and thats a lot of hard work, including closing and the fact that its run like a very tight ship. Thats okay, I’m trying to discipline myself into an orderly man for my future. I changed jobs from O’s American Kitchen to Chick Fil-A because I wasn’t getting hours and I prayed about it and felt that God was leading me towards a better place. He was right; I am in a much more wholesome environment where I am called to work hard and quickly, and still show the love of the Lord to guests and be more hospitable and catering to others over myself. And I see a lot of Christians and LBC-ers come in whenever I work, so the enhanced Christian environment works a lot towards my own spirituality.Â
Secondly, Donald Trump. He might become president and I don’t know how to feel about it, as seeing that Bernie Sanders is losing to Hillary Clinton. Hillary is a liar and a fraud and really sketchy, as she has been caught registering dead people to vote, and her unimaginable support coming from Southern states. Bernie doesn’t have strong foreign policy, but he seems to have his head on straight, and he’s determined to pass on his promises to the next generation. I feel that Ted Cruz seems like a better choice for president over Trump, but that’s not the point. Clinton and Trump seem to be the nominees for the Democratic and the GOP parties. I will vote for none if it comes to that. Donald Trump says ridiculous things, and even is down to commit war crimes in the name of America. This is the reason why people hate America: because we have committed imperialistic acts for the benefit of the 1% and we have terrorism and things like that because we have affected the world in such a negative way. I agree, some things Trump says I do support, but war crimes and the way he treats others, and the fact he claims that he is a Christian but does not live it out, and his sexism, makes me not want to vote for such a man.Â
But now people have become so mob-mentality oriented that they will blindly follow a man who seems successful. That’s what happened with Hitler, and if this happens to America, then it will be the beginning of the end of this world.
Going into personal reflection, I feel that the Lord has really brought me to humility and into a love. A godly, passionate love for others in which I can look out for others. I know that perfect love cannot come from within my own heart, so I ask the Lord every day to impart to me that perfect, undying love. A friend of mine told me recently that God’s love for us is a fact, and we may feel it, and some other days we will not, but God is stronger than our human emotions. In other words, we are not holding onto the hand of God, but the Lord is holding onto us. We cannot grasp the Love of God, but the Love of God has gripped us in its clutches, and we can do nothing but live with it, no matter how irrational this love may be. God’s love is so crazy. I am so undeserving, and He still showers me with it, with every breath I take upon this dying earth.Â
I was actually talking with a non-Christian coworker today while we were closing up shop, and even she recognizes the evil in this world and how even children are being led into this environment of conceit and selfishness, where they are surrounded by technology and social media, which is all made to glorify the self. Giving children this will condition them into this mindset where life is more and more about them, and people are nothing but pixels on a screen, and the rewards and social approval they see and receive from are sent through electronic hearts and thumbs-up signs. Not that social approval was not prevalent before, but I believe that technology is being taken to the level of de-personalization, where people’s lives and selves are dissolved into nothingness among electrons, and whatever is shown on the screens of smartphones is what they are. I think giving a ten year-old an iPhone is ridiculous, let alone a laptop or a TV in their room. Giving them actual social skills, by making them play outside with other children, or even withholding such devices from them or limiting their access will greatly improve the next generation’s appreciation for humanity. But we are led into a loveless generation, where if you like someone you can swipe right, or you can swipe left if you don’t.Â
I admit, I am a loveless man. I get annoyed by people; I am a critical thinker and I will psychoanalyze anyone who comes across me, given enough time and observation of their habits and doings; I deconstruct anything that intrigues me; I am silent when others are happy; I let anger sift in my heart. I more or less treat some people like trash within my own heart. These people are not Christian, and what makes me guilty is that the Lord calls me to love all people. I hope that the Lord humbles me down, down to a point where I can visualize the Lord Jesus on a cross, showing us, His enemies, the ultimate act of love, while he died one of the most painful deaths in the world. I fall so short of this standard of infinite love.Â
We are a loveless generation in a world fueled by the lack of love of all those within it. I hope I can carry out a mission of compassion and care from the Lord Our God into the world, however I can. Of the Lord, by the Lord, for the Lord.
