This blog entry is not going to contain a random scripture verse but rather a random story that I would like to share. Today, which is Saturday, there was a knock on my front door. I answered it and found myself to be soon entangled up in a 15 minute talk with a polite and wise man. He came to teach the word of God because my mom, being the nice person she is, told him to come back and bring the spirit with him whenever he wanted to or could.
I was interested in what he had to say so I didn't let him leave like he was insisting on doing. He had drove to our house just to give a little information about the word and to turn him away just because the TV seemed to be more important would have been completely unreal!
His first question for me was, "What do you think people would do when Christ came to the Earth again?" I stalled for a second and confidently said, "They would be terrified." He laughed and said "No, they would be happy. The word says that he is going to return with his own government one of these days and there are many people who have been waiting for his return. To finally have him here would be the greatest blessing of all."
I stated that people would be terrified because there is so much evil and hate in the world that good nearly ceases to exist. To actually face the maker and know that you have done wrong is..... scary. It makes you want to rethink every single action you have done and all the sins that you have not yet repented of and change it all for the better. I personally would look like a disobedient child to the maker. It's embarrassing to stand before him in filth and try to feel good about yourself at the same.
The man continued on with how God's government would effect the world. One statement that gave me a little laugh was when he said, "With God's government there will be no pollution. He knows how to use the resources of the land that he created and man only knows how to destroy it! Also, with his government, we will have the best health care! He can heal the sick and create miracles!"
It was amazing to me to see this man go out of his way to try and spread the word on a Saturday evening. I idol missionaries because they give up so much time trying to be God's messenger's and angel's to people who don't even want to give them the time of day. Personally, if education and success wasn't such a big deal to obtain during one's life time, I would be a missionary who helps teach the word. I gives kudos to this older man! He is doing the best job of them all!
