God has mercy on us and there is hope - the best example is the apostle paul's life he was a murderer by conspiracy and if he had his way everyone would be dead who believed in Jesus, but God changed that and turned him into the greatest preacher and apostle so there is hope for us on the continuum of sin
We Should be more joyful but get trapped into the mentality that permeates our culture - God is above the culture and makes it all worthwile even the blahs, headaches, frustrations, grouchiness, envy, strife etc Rejoice again Rejoice ! That is the main Bible Message !
We Want Excitement in life we follow trends, new wave, new styles, new things, new tech...yet a life with God is an adventure if you stay close to Him ! If Not its a drag !
We need a break yet there is always a distraction to stay tune for something. Truly we are programmed well. Take 5 minutes and think about God and your own creative gift of life from Him
Despite all chaos careening out of control God is still God and in control ! Consider everything that happened before Christ came the fist time, and realize His first coming was predicted to the day !
