I wasn't saying ignore the evil in this world and its apparent effects, I was saying brighten up someone's day with a needed smile and think positively in order to make the best of the time you are given on this earth. You are looking at what I'm not saying, but you are not focusing on what I AM saying. Yes, you are right, but i wasn't saying IGNORE EVIL I was saying make the best of everything. I don't think you should go home everyday and crying into your pillow because something completely unjust happened to you, there's no point, it doens't fix anything.
You should be aware of evil but that doesn't mean you have to be afraid of it.
The "happy Jesus people" ARE usually happy because of experiencing Jesus in their daily lives and looking on the bright side. That's not a BAD thing to be called. Take it from me, with 3 divorces, violent step-brothers/father/mother, I understand that crying sometimes makes me feel better and feeling sorry for myself is easier, but IT DOESN'T SOLVE ANYTHING AND I JUST MAKE THOSE THAT LOVE ME MISERABLE AND fall deep deep deep down till there is no coming back, like my sister who has been diagnosed as "depressed" who didn't FACE her problems, instead she turned to pot and alcohol and sex, did that solve anything NOOOOOOO! Most christians acknowledge the evil in this world and see it everyday, but they have chosen to not be overpowered by it. They've decided to TRY and prevent it and to make the best of it, to offer help to those in need.
Teenagers need to wake up and smell the coffee, LIFE ISN'T PERFECT, so what, cry, get over it, DEAL WITH IT.
Now I'm not saying it is fair that trillions of children die of starvation and malnutrition, I'm talking about teenagers here that I know who go around feeling sorry for themselves b/c their parents wouldn't buy them their designer jeans or mope around b/c they don't think their parents are going to get them anything for Christmas, HELLO CHRISTMAS ISN'T ABOUT PRESENTS, IT'S ABOUT CELEBRATING THE BIRTH OF JESUS, our saviour.
I would like to spend more time on it, but I don't have time right now... ask me if i wasn't clear on everything or have more questions!
God Bless!
