Christian's not caring

Have you ever sat down and tried to compare yourself with God? Humans are constantly trying to make themselves look better by comparing themselves to "worse" people than them, but if they'd just TRY comparing themselves, filthy sinners, with our gracious, all knowing, all powerful God....they would come to see just how much they lack in everything. There's a song called, "A Picture of Grace" and it says, "Picture a man with no reason for living, With no hope of smiling again. Imagine a world with no golden daybreak,
Enclosed by the blackness of sin. And the sea is bathed in beauty and glory, transformed by love's sweet embrace, The hands of the Savior, erased all my sorrow and painted this picture of Grace. How skillful the hands of the artist, who painted this picture of me, He saw with the eye's of a Master, how beautiful my life could be, where once was a portrait of gloom and despair, this masterpiece hangs in it's place, It's signed with His blood and it's framed with His glory, this beautiful picture of Grace, The ashes and ruin, that once filled the picture, had vanished and faded from view, and beautiful touches of mercy adourned, this picture he painted anew. Such peace filled the eyes of the man He created, a smile gently rests on his face, Since Jesus erased all the guilt of my past and painted this picture of grace." See, we are absolutely nothing...we would be on our way to hell, but God came in and made "a sinner saved by grace" yet another good song. If you could just see the results of coming to the Lord in people's lives, you'd be SO touched. Most people I know, they've always grown up in a Christian home, gone to church all their lives, and have Christian friends. Having a terrible, rough and depressing life isn't something we know very well, because we've always had a loving family, and good Christian friends. However, if you look hard enough, you'll find people who have had their life totally turned upside down from the worst, to the best because of Jesus Christ. I honestly believe your average Christian takes for granted all the privileges they have. We have SO many luxuries, and yet we STILL complain when we don't have the latest and greatest. But we don't think of ourselves as "spoiled rich people" because we don't have that much money. Do you realize HOW much you have, compared to people all over the world? People dying because they don't have enough food, living on the street digging through trash cans to find cans and bottles to recycle, no family to get them through the hard times. I think Christians have become numb to everything around them. They don't care, and honestly, I don't think half of us WANT to care. That's going above and beyond the normal "church youth group mission" and we just couldn't spare any more time...besides, we have a life, and can't afford to add ANYTHING else in, we're just too busy. That describes us, whether you want to put that label on yourself or not is not my job. Don't you think it's about time we start thinking about OTHERS more than ourselves? I think it's WAY past time.
