I don't know if any of you watched the movie "Legion" but I just did and though it was not a good movie. It did get me to thinking though. For those of you who haven't seen it (SPOILER ALERT) The movie purposes that an attack on mankind is ordered by God Himself because He has lost all faith in mankind and sent his angels to kill off the inhabitants of the earth. Keeping in mind that all of this is fictional because that is not what the bible tells us and we know that His love for us is everlasting but I wonder what would happen if He gave up on us? God created us out of love and a desire to be loved in a fellowship based on unconditional love an faith. But what if he gave up on us? It has happened before when His patience wore thin and he destroyed the earth with a flood. What if he grew tired of listening to us complain about such petty things such as money and stuff and keeping up with the Jones's? What if His heart couldn't bare another minute of watching us kill one another in His name? Killing each other over property and territory that rightfully belong to Him in the first place. Killing each other over 5 dollars or some harsh words and worse yet, over nothing at all. What if He grew weary over all the bickering, the gluttony, the selfishness?What if He couldn't stomach to watch us killing the humanity in our own children by emphasizing the importance of going to the right schools and getting the highest grades and getting into the best college without ever making it a priority to emphasize the importance of being a good human being? What good is an educated kid if he grows up to be an asshole, he might be a rich asshole but an asshole non the less.(Pardon my french,that description is too perfect to pass up)What if He's grown tired of His heart breaking for the children we neglect, ignore and abuse, after all children where always intended to be a gift not a burden?What if He was tired of seeing the people He entrusted with His church where the same ones defiling it? What if He was sick of people who confess His name with there lips and deny Him by there lifestyle? In most other countries they are inhumane by what they do in this country we are inhumane by what we do not. If you watch the news it is day in and day out of suffering and tragedy most man made. It is a wonder He hasn't had His fill quite yet. Perhaps there is still hope for us in the fact that we are still here being allowed to carry on as if we have no one to answer to or to whom we must give an account. We have failed miserably as a human race and believers who know God , who accept the cross and there belief in Jesus Christ know that its why we need Him because God knew we would fail. Yet maybe it is the little victories that keeps Him holding hope for us. The simple acts of kindness, the small insignificant gestures that go unseen and unnoticed accept for the giver and the recipient. Its funny how we as a people fail horribly at conquering the small stuff but when it comes to catastrophes, tragedies , and great suffering it is then when we seem to shine the brightest. What if we stopped backbiting denominations, races, cultures, religions and stopped fighting over who's right and who's wrong?What if we didn't pick sides democrats/republicans , black/white , men/woman? What if we just chose to love and accept one another ? What if we chose not to get divorced but stayed and stuck it out ? What if we chose right over fair? What if that's where the good stuff was? I have a feeling that's where the good stuff IS ! I could be wrong about all of it but what if I'm right?
