How Arrogant
Right now im a little sad and a little mad.
Sad happens. I dont fight it, I make the best of it. Occasionally I embrace it. It is a part of life and when I am crying my eyes out I am thankful that I can. There are so many who, because of abuse or maybe even just cutting off their own emotions, cant cry.
Giving thanks always for all things unto Elohim and the Father in the name of our Lord Yeshua Ha’Moshiach.
Ephesians 5:20
It frustrates me quite a bit when people are hurting and someone says “Oh just pray about it” or “Just give it to God”. How arrogant you are.
First of all to assume that hasnt been done already.
Second of all to assume that its not G-d sent.
Would you like me to look up ALL the verses on sadness? Because there are alot. These two come to mind first.
There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven
2 A time to give birth, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to uproot what is planted.
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to tear down, and a time to build up.
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance.
5 A time to throw stones, and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, and a time to shun embracing.
6 A time to search, and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep, and a time to throw away.
7 A time to tear apart, and a time to sew together; A time to be silent, and a time to speak.
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; A time for war, and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
II Corinthians 7:10
See when you throw out your assumptions it makes YOU feel better. And throwing in that reference to G-d or the bible certainly makes you feel holy doesnt it?
Sadness is…………well its uncomfortable. For most. Who enjoys seeing another cry or be sad?
When people are sad it is a natural tendency to touch them, hug them, rub their heads, offer advice. We think we are comforting but are we really?
Are we trying to stop something that needs to happen?
If someone is crying because they are just having a rough day then I can see giving them a hug. If they are stuck then advice might work. But if someone is working through something or if they could be I think its best to
1. Pray without assuming you know all of whats going on.
2. Offer words of love that lets them know they are cared for and being prayed for.
I personally suffer from some occasional depression. Im fairly certain its mostly chemical imbalances. I was raised on a horrible diet and have a 40 year old sugar habit chasing me around biting me in the ass all the time. But it took me a long time to realize that is was chemical and not me.
Do you know how many people I have had push me away and call me psycho because I couldnt stop crying? I have been perfectly happy one minute and bawling my eyes out the next.
I am not psycho.
I am however, emotional and sensitive to not only the world around me but to the crap I occasionally ingest. Last time I checked neither of those made me any kind of horrible pagan sinner. Last time I checked the blood of Yeshua was still covering our crying and our eating habits. Last time I checked Romans 13:8 still said:
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law.
And I corinthians 13s love verse still contained
LOVE
BELIVES
THE
BEST
That means that you should always give me & G-D the benefit of the doubt.
That means you should lay aside your arrogance and pick up that humility that we all seem to think we have and dont, put it in our juice box
and suck it.
