Be Part Of the Solution, Not the Problem....

Social media is quick to stir up and create problems where there really aren't any.  For example,  this week an uproar even made it's way onto CNN news over a red Starbucks cup because it didn't say Merry Christmas.  They were accused of taking Christ out of Christmas.  People, their cups never did say Merry Christmas.  What are we upset about?  So now everyone is boycotting something that they don't even know what they are boycotting.  Coffee.  We are upset over coffee.  Know what I am more worried about?   (Excuse me while I step on a few toes here).  That the majority of the people are jumping on a band wagon that  they know nothing about. How many are
 worrying about how many homeless shelters are in their town, while people are sharing posts and complaining from a couch, How about we all get off the couch and get out in out neighborhoods and find out where our homeless are?   Worried about what a coffee cup says?  Buy  the homeless a cup of coffee and write "Jesus loves you" on it.

Our world has so many real problems we have to focus on.   Are we truly loving each other as Christ loves us?  Would you offer a homeless man to come sit next to you at church?  I am taking a step further.  Would you offer a homeless man or woman, no mater what color they are to come eat with you or sit next to you at church?

Are you with the majority that believe that the shelters are full of lazy people that don't work?  Not true.  Many have jobs.  Many are mentally ill that don't have family.  Many are just down on their luck.  Go there. Talk to them.  Pray with them.  Find out their stories.  I do.  It changed my life. It is not what you think.  You will look at petty things like a Starbucks coffee cup in a whole new light.

No where in God's word does it say IF your brother and sisters look like you, THEN take care of your neighbor,  If they make the same amount of money as you, if they can repay you....it simply says to love them and care for them.

It is past time we wake up people.  I believe God sheds tears over how we treat each other.  Your brothers and sisters deserve the same respect here on this earth as they will get when the roll is called in Heaven and we are all together up there in hod Kingdom.
