What About Me, Myself, And I
Our Nation As A Whole
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5)
The hardest question that anyone can ask is “Would we let our children do whatever they want as children and not care or concern about the outcome of what they might do to themselves if they are not being watched or supervised?”
Most as parents, we all know what our children are capable of whether we want to admit it or not. They can lie, cheat, manipulate, and do stupid things to hurt themselves and or others if they are not told no that’s wrong.
If we being parents, and says “Oh We don’t care what they do, they can do whatever they want” then we are lying to ourself. As again, children need supervision to guide them in all stages and aspects of their growing life to direct them, hopefully, in the right directions as it is every parent’s wishes and dreams for their “loved ones”. Emphasis is put heavy on “Our Loved Ones” on purpose. If we don’t love or care for our children. We would not be willing to do everything within our human power to protect and raise them right as we see fit according to our faith, beliefs and cultural background to try to give them the best life that they can experience with the abilities that are available to us.
Now whether or not if our children like or approve of how we, as parents, govern our household is not up to them for the most part when they are still young children (exceptions for abuse or negligence on the parents’ part).
As parents, our plans, purpose and thought life consists of how and what we are going to do to take care of our little family now and for the years to come. All that comes into play When we decide to have little ones and to start a family. Over the course of the years and life events. There will be Many hardships, sacrifices, difficult decisions and challenges that we will come across and will have to make hard choices and decide on those difficult decisions for the sake and wellbeing of our family and at times the decisions that we must make, although it may seem that it’s not good for our children or family at the time but because as parent we see the how destructive and devastating it can be for our family if the situation that we are in continues.
So in the challenges of life as it arises. When we have to make those hard decisions and difficult choices to change the directions that our family is heading into because as parents we see what the outcome would be even though our children can’t see it. As it may cause them to be angry or hurt for the moment because they don’t understand it but the difficult decision and hard choices must be made for the betterment of the family as a whole going forward.
If we are willing to let our eyes see and our ears hear and our heart to understand that It is the same as what we are witnessing of the destructive and declining state our country is heading down. We have witnessed the current individual that are governing our country right now is not taking our country down a very good road at the moment. In the rules and laws of our country, the government serves its people and they must be put in check when they abuse their position of authority (which is temporarily given to them by We The People) to terrorize its citizens and bankrupt the nations and the people’s wealth and finance for individual gain.
At times like these where the hard decisions and difficult choices must be made even if some disagree at the moment but we MUST put our pride down and put our selfish thinking away and really acknowledge that it truly is not all about just us as individual, but each one plays a small part in the whole universe and that considerations of each other differences and existence helps to keep us humble and widen our thoughts to know we are not alone and our thoughts process and considerations should not only be that about ourselves but that the outcome of a better country or world would be a great benefit for the country and all citizens as a whole going forward.
If we choose to see, at times, God would bring forth certain individuals for a certain generation and gifted him or her with better understanding, better judgment and with more knowledge and wisdom of how to govern such a sovereign nation as America if we choose to embrace and accept the person of whom He chooses for our generation.
“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.” (Proverbs 29:2)
