Lost

I have a hard time listening to mainstream media discuss daily news stories or the latest events. I don't like being around people, because so many of them are leading lives out of focus, based on material things and feel-goods. Churches are prospering now with doctrine rooted in apostasy and worldly things and whatever makes you "happy". Our wise and forceful pastor reminds us frequently that "happiness" is based on "happenings", but that if we are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ we shall always have joy, no matter what the circumstances.

I'm tired of drunken, self-serving, gossiping, hateful, angry, needy, tolerant patients and co-workers and supervisors and family (mine and theirs). I truly loathe shopping with people that talk on their cell phones rather than interacting with their children. What has this world come to? Is it truly all about what we want? How many people do you see every day that think about what God's will is for their lives? It makes me sad to consider that there might be fewer and fewer people every day, as so many are falling into the trap of worldliness and pleasure.

People may eventually figure me out, but for now I have such a great time in anonymity putting gospel tracts on the windshield of the car next to me whenever I pull into a parking lot (teeheehee). And I've never found one on the ground when I come back out of the store. Maybe the Lord will be able to use me to reach one of these lost souls. Until then, I'll keep praying for His swift return and that He might use me as an instrument for His will.
