Sometimes I just can’t believe what I see. I was raised the right way. I was taught not to lie, cheat or steal. And when I did there were consequences. I have always asked God to see through His eyes. Now that I do, it grieves me. I see the world for who there are. I pray without ceasing. I understand how God feels about man. But because I love like God does, it hurts. I see people lying, cheating and stealing whenever they please. The darkness sometimes seems to be overwhelming. In Ecclesiastes, it says that there is nothing new under the sun. What was before shall be again. This is the truth. And that was written 4000 years ago. I thank God that He conquered death and hell and brought captivity captive. He gave us His sight so we could pray and bring His will to earth (The Lord’s Prayer). So when I see darkness, I pray. And it encourages me.
