sorrow

I was just struck tonight by sadness. I almost feel like crying. I spent some time with a bunch of people tonight and I was listening to their conversations and my heart fell. Just by what sin and what wickness is glorified in the lives of many. It is so sad. It reminds me again how corrupted creation has become. How people now find pleasure and enjoyment in things like sex and alcohol or drugs. We were designed to find pleasure in God alone. I was reading today about how Jesus wept of Jerusalem because he saw the consequences that were to come because they rejected him. I think I felt something similar tonight. I don’t want people to throw away their lives pursuing earthly pleasures when God offers them pure joy.
