I understand what hurricane victims are going through. I had a storm come at me and create damage that I could of never imagined. At the end of the storm I was homeless, my marriage was broken, life was in disarray and my dreams were smashed.
Yes I could have done more to be prepared. I could have weathered the storm better. But the thing is I needed help. And people judged me . They looked down on me. And I never asked for the storm to hit me. I never asked to be betrayed and stabbed in the back by those God sent to help me.
In the church I received witchcraft. In my family I did not receive help but instead contempt. In my home I was neglected and abused.
And people told me what I needed to do more. And they misquoted scriptures . While ignoring the scriptures they should have followed.
All the long. You just needed help. You needed compassion. You needed people to do what they were put on Earth to do. What they said they would do. What you deserved just as much as the next person.
People judged me. More and more our world is getting to understand my story. So many people are seeing what I have went through. And they judged me when they saw my circumstances and heard my cry for help.
If you judged me when I needed help and now you need help. I do not judge you. I pray for you as you go through the hardest times in your life.
I am not referring to people hit by hurricanes and who need help. I am referring to the anyone who is going through a hard time that you did not ask for. And you are doing your very best to get out of that situation. And you need help instead of being ignored , talked about and neglected by the people who should be running to help you. To lift you up from the ashes.
When the government does not do their job. And you need help. Crime, Inflation, Energy prices, Employment, National security, and Education for our children. Many things are out of your hands. And you have to react to them and survive through them. And you need help. You need for the institutions that were built for you by God to help you.
Yes even government served God’s purposes: Romans 13: 1
Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. 2 So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished. 3 For the authorities do not strike fear in people who are doing right, but in those who are doing wrong. Would you like to live without fear of the authorities? Do what is right, and they will honor you. 4 The authorities are God’s servants, sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you. They are God’s servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong. 5 So you must submit to them, not only to avoid punishment, but also to keep a clear conscience.
6 Pay your taxes, too, for these same reasons. For government workers need to be paid. They are serving God in what they do. 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: Pay your taxes and government fees to those who collect them, and give respect and honor to those who are in authority.
God made the Church, Family and Marriage for me. If you are not there for me when I need you. That what am I supposed to do? So I will hold you accountable. Because I need you. And frankly I know how it feels when the people who should comfort you in your struggle abandon you.
I understand how these hurricane victims must feel.
Church Family Marriage
They were made for me. And they failed me. And it’s ok I don’t judge you. God was there for me. And I survived. I needed help and they were not there for me. It’s ok. We all sin .
But don’t judge other people. Because one day you will need help. And you want help when you need it. When you are in a natural disaster.
When you are in a chow line. When you are sick .
When you have been attacked by a robber along side the road. You want help. Help others when they are need.
