This world is so, so broken is so many waysโฆ yesterday was a somber reminder of that truth.
Please know this, there is no amount of legislation, policy or ideology that will heal the state of the human heart. Weโve ALL experienced hurt, rejection and trauma which we then project onto everyone around us. Weโve ALL contributed to the never ending cycle of hurt that is this fallen world. And make no mistake, the level of evil you see projected by certain people is a literal mirror of the severity of trauma that they carry around. This goes straight from the top of society, to the very bottom.
But what if I told you that I know the cure? The cure to ALL pain and suffering?
Please know that Iโm being 100% serious when I say that God is REAL, and his name is JESUS CHRIST. I know heโs real. No one can tell me otherwise because I tangibly encounter him and his presence every single day.
I too used to carry around my hurt and my trauma like a backpack and it used to weigh me down to the point where I couldnโt even walk anymore. Not even becoming a WWE Superstar and living my wildest dreams could heal meโฆ I could main event Wrestlemania, and it still wouldnโt heal me.
But one day, in the deepest part of my mind, will and emotions, I opened myself up to Jesusโฆ and I supernaturally encountered a presence that was so pure, so peaceful and so powerful that I canโt even begin to put it into words.
He showed me how throughout everything that Iโve ever been through, he was there by my side the entire time. He didnโt want ANY of those things to happen to meโฆ but he allowed it because he knew the man I would become. He knew that he would heal me, and in doing so would instill in me a burning fire to lead so many others to him so that they can be healed too. I couldnโt get rid of it even if I wanted to.
And now I wear my trauma as PROUD battle scars. You start to understand that the people that hurt youโฆ it was never personal. That they need the love of Jesus just like the rest of us. I can look back at them and genuinely love them, instead of harboring bitterness and resentment that would otherwise kill me from the inside.
I promise you that when the spirit of the one true living God comes to reside within you, there is literally no room for hate in your heart. Thereโs no room for evil. But without the Holy Spiritโฆ thereโs all the room in the world. As you look at the world today, youโre seeing the consequence of the lack of Godโs love in the hearts of man.
If you think that itโs all a facade or a fairytale, allow this seed to be planted in your heart today.
Maybe, just maybeโฆ Iโm not crazy.
God bless every single one of you, in Jesusโ name.
Amen.
Did I watch all three Sonic The Hedgehog movies in one day? Yes. Did I impulsively purchase a ticket yesterday? Yes. Did I watch the first two movies with enough time before going to watch the third movie in theaters? Yes. Did I enjoy the third movie? Yes. Was it worth it? YES!
