We live in the world we make.Anon

If you’re like me, you have lots of dissatisfaction with the world in which you live. We look around and see filth on the internet, filth on TV,filth at the movies. We see a corrupt political system. We see people taking advantage of the kindness of others. We see people who could work, but don’t. We see the academics in many schools being crowded out by political, psychological, environmental and theoretic nonsense.

Yes, we are dissatisfied with the world we live in… but what if the world we lived in could be one of our own choosing? What if the only things on the internet and TV and the movies were the things that we ourselves viewed? I don’t mean the exact content, but what if the level of morality on these entertainment venues was based solely on what we look at ourselves?

What if the world was a reflection of our lives? How much would people gossip? Would people be chaste or promiscuous, greedy or generous, honest or deceitful? Would people use alcohol or drugs, if our consumption was the standard? How much would people help each other out, or feed the poor,or show genuine consideration and affection for others?

What if everyone read the Bible the same as you, or worshiped as often as you, or prayed for the needs of others as faithfully as you?

The fact is that we do live in the world we make. Of course we are affected by outside influences, but we have the opportunity to positively impact them as well, if we only would.

And, come Judgment, God will be rendering His decision on our eternities based, not upon the world in which we lived, but upon the world that we created by the life that we lived.

What kind of world do you live in?

“You are the light of the world” Jesus
