Far too many people will live their whole long lives lost, in love with stuff, lusting, envious, jealous lying and wicked. Never loving. Never tasting it. Mimicking and pretending, sure. All artificial, all phony, plastic, put on. Never knowing GOD. Void of a Christ like Spirit, deprived of a tender heart.
"We ought always to give thanks to GOD for you, brethren, as is only fitting, because your faith is greatly enlarged, and the love of each one of you toward one another grows ever greater." 2 Thessalonians 1: 3
This scripture is music to my ears.
Pray, fast, study, meditate in order to not be part of the ignorant maddening horde. The apostle Paul reveals in this epistle that "there will be world wide rebellion against GOD ." before Christ's return.
This rebellion will be led by the incarnation of lawlessness and anarchy. My "mother" was LAWLESS! How are you going to carry on a sexual relationship with your ex-husband, present husband and future at the same time!? Two in the same Unit! Not bathe, not brush your teeth, curse, cuss, keep a nasty house and keep up drama? How are you going to do that then try to savagely stab, hurt, maim and "hex" everyone that raised and eyebrow?
No one is that stupid!
Paul reminds us to work, to not live at he expense of others. My mother was an exploiter. Her eyes were always on someone else's check. Martha was a volunteer parasite because she was a silly captive woman of little faith. Sure she fell down. She was raped as a child. Unfortunately this is a rather common occurrence.
If you fall down, get up! Don't try to deceptively pull your "loved ones" down with you in order to make your common self feel better.
"For after all it is only just for GOD to repay with affliction those who afflict you." 2 Thessalonians 1: 6
Praise the LORD!
