The Good and The Bad Alike

     As I thought about what to post today, I looked at the news. So much bad news is shared but little good news. It seems that the bad behavior and evil doers are rewarded. The Good and The Bad Alike, is what I've chosen to share. Whether we as Christians  like it or not, God does pour out his blessings on the good and the bad. Sometimes the bad people actually follow the principles of God better than a Christian does. I have to stop and ask, where do I stand, following Godly principles. I've got some work to do in my life. Go with me as I share why God blesses The Good and The Bad Alike.



                                                     The Good and The Bad Alike


     Often we see only the ugliness of this world and ask. "How could a loving God allow what is happening today?" The homeless number is growing larger everyday and so many are families. With much suffering and no place to lay the heads in safety. Yet, there are others with great riches, that they waste on the pleasures of life. Many of them will say, "I have nothing to spare!"
    People with sickness and pain, no doctor to see or even the means to pay for medications they need. Some have great beauty but use it to disgrace, full of arrogance and pride. A child goes unfed, another born with an addiction. Many are used to be thrown away for the sickness of sexual addiction. Sadly, to many times the guilty still walk free on the streets, seeking their next victim. Even worse, to many little ones never have a chance, their lives taken through abortion. Then someone asks in anger, "How could a loving God allow it to happen."
     God loves everyone of is! The good and the bad alike. He will not force us to accept and love him. We must surrender our will to him freely, whether we are homeless, wealthy, or in between.  The plain, those with great beauty, deserving or not, he loves each one. He knows every heartache and pain, every sin committed throughout the past generations and the generations to come. He is grieved and saddened because of what man has done with his free will, but still, he must allow man to have his own way. God gave each one of us a free will. the freedom to make our own choices. So often we will hear someone say, "I'll do it may way." We throw God away for the pleasure of today. We are born with a deep desire in our hearts to seek for God, but as we take charge of our free will, we ignore the calling God sends our way. The enemy of God is the one we to often seek and we serve. Sin and sickness will drive many to an early grave. Yet, we dare to ask, "How could a loving God allow it to happen."
     The blessings God pours out is often unseen. Blessings to the good and the bad alike, for there is no difference made. It is only those that have surrendered their lives to God, that has immeasurable blessings, grace, peace, and freedom. Each one of us, he seeks and beckons to share in his life. He alone holds the true freedom we all seek. A personal relationship in love is what God desires with each one of us.
    The good and the bad alike, we all fall short of deserving  the forgiveness and love of God, but his grace is always reaching out to the good and the bad alike. He will seek for each one until they take their dying breath. How could a loving God allow what has happened in this world, how could he allow anything else. He desires that not one of is should parish, but live eternally in heaven as his child.
