Breathing Easy

Clean Slate

This is my mystery blog, hoping that no one will discover it, but at the same time begging to share these thoughts with another person. I hope that this little stress reliever helps me sleep easier at night, but that is yet to be seen, but until then, here's my beef...

My generation is said to have the most potential out of any in the past. From latch-key kids to soccer moms, we have been babied to the most extreme, having the worlds greatest resources poured at our feet. With all this in our favor you would think that we would be changing our world. Well we are, except we are changing it for the worse.

We have all the potential in the world, all we need to do is spread our wings and leap, and we will not fail. Yet what do we choose to do instead? Nothing. We sit in our apathy, and in our selfish state and do nothing for anyone else in our lives. It is me me me all the time, with no sense of sacrifice for anyone else anywhere. Unbelievable. Could we perhaps put one person ahead of ourselves once in a while? Here is the real problem; it’s us Christians who are following the suit. Are we not called to change our society? It seems most days we cannot even live with each other in harmony let alone portray an example for the rest of mankind.

Here’s the background info. There is a student at the college I attend who as confused that Christians at this college were no different in the areas of getting drunk, cussing, having sex and doing drugs then those who are not followers of Christ. Unbelievable.

Not it is not so much the idea that we fail often, because were all humans, we all make mistakes, and there should be no idea in any one head that we as Christians are perfect. But where is the effort to get back up and try again? I’m freaking out because those people who are said to be followers of Christ, seem not to care anymore. We seem to just give up to the world with all its ‘endless’ pleasures, and pervasive themes. Why can we not suck it up and reach out? Will there not be someone there to grasp a hold of that out stretched hand and pull them out? Grow up generation. Get over yourselves, and if you fail, when you fail, get up. Not for yourselves, but for others. Your worth so much on your own, priceless on your on own, I need you to recognize your worth. Know that you can’t do it on your own, but that you have to do it together, with generations before and after you.

It’s a team effort, but your robbing your world of a future if you continue to focus solely on yourself. Get over that image in the mirror. Yes your worth countless immeasurable items, but you need to see the worth of sacrifice, of the greater good. I plead with you, please, get past yourself, because we depend on you.
