A good day for time

As time continues on, they start to disappear and fade out. The truth is ever apparent, their choices have solidified from wet cement into a cracked concrete. They chose to attack, bulldoze and fling every stone at their disposal so as to keep others from looking at them. To keep others from seeing them as they truly are. A sister who has since her childhood been jealous, who though at times was real and vulnerable at the heart of the three children's story, she chose to be spiteful, mean and angry which led to her being miserable. If she really looks back and truly sees, she will see that her family still helped her, they still loved her, they still prayed for her and rejoiced in her successes and sorrowed with her in her sorrows. A brother-in-law who is just as miserable as she. Who got into so much trouble in his youth, it was either jail or military and he couldn't even hack the military; begging his new family to get him out. Who over the years has begrudged others their successes and malevolent in the way he laughed at their failures. Though he was these things, his wife's family took him in, they helped him when he couldn't support his wife and was so poor they lived in a house with dirt floors, they helped him, they helped him get out of the military, they helped him with Christmas' and many other things have they helped with over the years. Despite all the kindness shown to them over the years, they decided to turn their backs on those who helped them. And because they have been dishonest with others and themselves for so long, pushing everyone who could tell the truth away they now live in an “alternative” reality. One where they are the good guys, one where they rewrote history, taking on the other characters from their childhood. They tell these stories to their children and grandchildren, painting everyone else but them as the bad guys and somehow in their convoluted world never did anything wrong, they now live in a delusional world. One where they never made fun of anyone who didn't deserve it (because they are judge and jury), they never told anyone else's failures (for according to them they have no failures), they never told lies (they only told "what had to be told") they never wished anyone harm. All the things they have done over the years are in direct opposition to the Gospel they claim to believe in, and I am not talking about the mistakes or even sins, I am talking about intentions. What have they intended all these years, what is the outcome they wished to see with all those who they have pushed away. If we go back and look and see, it becomes blatantly, glaringly apparent they wish harm on anyone who "stood/stands" in their way. The name-calling, the shaming, the way they never take any accountability for any of their actions will stand as a witness against them in the end. Some of their family may not believe in God anymore, but he is as real as the sun and they will have a very rude awakening when they meet His Son. Their other children who will do claim to live the Gospel and continue to hold such anger, hatred, and malice towards those whom they claim are their enemy are also in for a rude awakening. If we are his enemy then it is time they turn the other cheek, it is time to Love their enemy and if they believe we have cursed them then bless us, if they believe we have despitefully used them then pray for us if they believe we hate them then do good towards us if they believe we persecute them, love us. It is time for him to live what he claims.
