Broken Britain


People are so quick to react to things - whether it be something that someone said or a look that is taken to be threatening, or by nothing at all and people are attacked and sometimes killed for it.
It seems silly to me and unjustified and most cases are completely unprovoked which makes it more unbelievable.
Things are happening in this society that I can't understand, the elderly are being attacked and robbed, innocent people are being killed just for being at the wrong place at the wrong time, even children are being killed in the crossfire and personally I think that this violence and hate needs to stop.
I try to understand what drives people to commit these vicious crimes, what goes through their heads, what are their reasons. It seems there are none.
Although, I do think that some are out to prove something to themselves, to society, to their gang and therefore seeking acceptance. Or it could be that they are looking for a thrill, a sense of danger, something that makes them feel invincible and powerful and therefore preying on someone who is vulnerable and helpless - like a lamb to the slaughter.
They excuse their actions by playing the victim and feeling sorry for themselves, blaming other people for their misfortunes and failures, taking out their frustrations on all of society and nothing is being done about it.
I think we all have a responsibility to do something. We need to work together as a nation to fight back against the opposition and tackle youth and hate crime and gang culture.
More importantly we need the help of God, we need help to make a change. We need God with us to fight- like David fought against Goliath and we need God's help to restore broken Britain. Amen

The things that matter.

                 We are so blind to what God has put in front of us, so distracted by the materialism of this world and by our own shallow existence that we have become more concerned by our own vanity and how we look and our outwardly appearance. Our lives are mostly centred around living a glamourous lifestyle, centred around fame, money and possessions, centred around sex and relationships, centred around reputation. Our lifestyles today are about keeping up with the joneses, being the toughest, being the best, w e've forgotten to see the beauty around us.  We've forgotten that we are beautiful with or without make up, inside and out. We've forgotten that fame is when we are idolised by our children, our friends and our family, knowing that whatever we do we will always be stars in their eyes.  We've forgotten the riches of life, the simple pleasures that cost nothing but mean the world - a  heartwarming hug, a passiona...

Gods love

  He loved his disciples, he loved them as you love me. He protected them as you protect me. He guarded them as you guard me. He told them many things as you have told me many things. He gave them his word as you have given me. He loved them as you love me and I love you.

Dark days!

          Sometimes we think the Lord will never bless us. We have lost hope, have given up, are stuck in a rut and can't or won't move forward and given up even trying. Some of us give up on our relationships, give up trying to make things right, give up on having a better life.  We all have dark days, days when we just can't seem to get anything right, we all suffer from broken hearts, loss, go through some really difficult times in our lives but it's important to struggle on and fight, to never crumble but to be strong and remain in christ. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel.    We may choose not to notice that God is blessing our lives because it's easier to live like there is no hope, it's easier to put the blame onto others, blame society for our failings so that we don't have to  look to ourselves to see how bad things are. We choose to deny the good things, we choose to ignore the positives, we choose to be blind to Gods...
