Worthy to be Praised

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
1 John 2:27

When we become children of God we become foreigners, no longer to Him, but to those who surround us.

I've really gotten to a place where I can no longer understand, or rationalize with certain thoughts and mindsets of the world. Just as we become strangers to those around us - they become strangers to us. The justification people are living in seems such a miserable state to be in but that truly doesn't make sense in my mind - drugs, abortion, greed, adultery and fornication; there is no more respect for ourselves, for each other and certainly not for God.

O, Lord. How difficult it must be to watch this lost generation and wait. I pray that Your heart would be seen. I've struggled with not being understood - I can only imagine the lack of understanding and ungodly expectations of the world and how that must cause Your heart to ache. I pray people would turn their eyes to You - for YOU. You are a worthy and amazing God - worthy to be praised AND adored. In Jesus' Holy name. Amen.
