oh how we break His heart.

after roaming for a while the King decides to take seat on His heavenly throne and turns his gaze towards earth. what does He see? He sees the sky being cluttered with fighter jets on missions to cause destruction in another part of the world. He sees the seas not only containing His fish and sea life, but submarines with similar missions. He sees the dry ground being bombed and vegetation being destroyed. He sees the stars of the night being blocked by clouds of dust and smoke from explosion after explosion. He sees the animals that roam on land being frightened and running away for cover - and for those who just aren't quick enough, He sees them being killed. but what really hurts the King is seeing man, whom He made in his own image, at war with each other.

"Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth and over all the creatures that move along the ground.'" - Genesis 1:26

we may have ruled over other creatures but i think that we've definitely disappointed our Creator in how we did.

it hasn't even been 24 hours since the war in iraq started and already so much destruction has occured. and to think, this is only the beginning...

they say "God Bless America", but what about the rest of the world? i think we all need it. all nations. all people. all individuals.

i don't really know that much about this subject, but from what i hear and read, this is what i've concluded - we're breaking God's heart.
