The Way People Are

Why do people have to be so bad to each other? This is a question I have recently found myself asking. Too many times it seems like no one cares about one another! I am included in this as well. I see this so much in myself, and it drives me crazy. I don't want to be like the rest of the world, but I find my inner sin creeping out of me. This seems to make my bad situation worse.
What is my situation? Well, I'm not sure. I want to help change this world! But, this is an impossible feat if I will not be able to change myself. God came to this earth to die for all of us even while we were living in sin. This is something I am becoming to really understand. It is so difficult to forgive people and let things go, yet Christ did it for us all.

I have found how truly difficult it is to find honest friends in this fallen world. A friend that would put you above himself is a true friend. This is not something that is commonly found.

John 15:15I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

Jesus said that now I call you my friends. He made everything that God had told him known to these disciples. I think that this is something that we must do. Jesus has made known to us so many things. We must return what we know to the world. A true friend will never turn their back on you. "Love never fails," we must remember this.

I had been asking myself, "Why are people so bad to each other?" for awhile when I asked a buddy of mine to pray for me and my struggles. He said that he would absolutely pray for me. right after that conversation i said out loud to myself, "People are so good." I caught myself saying this.. "What in the world did I just say?" I thought. Then i realized it, We are all bad! The reason people are bad to each other is because we have chosen to go against God. But, God has a better plan for us. We can be made good if we only trust in Him.
