"Mankind Dead Needs Nothing"
You passed me away and treated me like I was dead.
No, of me you did not think but upon me you did tread.
How earthen is my disgust. Yes genuine and real. I'm feeling it right here where I live.
And that is how people treat one another.
I am not the only one to have been honored by you and how it's complicated you say.
Theres nothing complicated about kindness you simpleton.
The complication comes when everyone is living for number one and about others forget.
The expendable masses where from your livlihood is gotten.
Lovin' all of your stuff without time to think of another.
You're so caught up in all this so called drama and action.
Wanna Be's losing your self and gaining an ill reputation as long as you get all the attention.
To put others above yourself is not the sin. Treating another human with reproach is.
I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine is fine. But after yours is scratched you run.
People are alive and need help. Maybe one day you will be in need too.
So stop treating everyone like they are already 6ft. beneath you and give a little more than you get.
The prize doesn't go to richest but the richest prize, when we share, is what we beget.
For sharing is caring and when this is done we need never fret.
I am a mute. What choices do I have in conversation? I am deaf. What must be done for me to communicate with you? I am stricken with a terrible stuttering disability is there any other way to do this? And lastly, I have not yet learned to speak for I am just a baby but I need you to understand me. There are other real life scenarios we could list and we have all suffered with a communication breach or breakdown.
Miscommunication can be the source of many problems. Especially relationally. Noone understands me! The cry of the rebellious teenager whose style is being cramped. The couple that is sleeping in seperate rooms and on their way to divorce court. I would like to submit that for the most part we are more concerned about being understood than being understanding. Do we really listen? Do we really care? How do you communicate your care and concern? Or do we communicate that it is all about us?
We live in the Information Age or what I like to affectionately call it the, Communication Age. Without technology to get this information to you the information is useless. So are our communication's if we never understand one another and never make connections. People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. Your love is useless unless it expressed. Yes it is a verb. The deaf, the mute, the small child, your neighbors and family members will clearly understand your care and concern for them by what you are doing. I can hear what you're saying by what you are doing. Trust me you come across loud and clear.
Love is known as the universal language that every heart knows and speaks. God is love and He designed us for love. He is love and we are made in His image. Many times we are hurt by people that say they love us or people that are supposed to love us. This causes great confusion in regards to love. What does it look like? If you are saying one thing but doing another then it is not love. If I say I love you then I should show you I love you. To properly communicate this we must look at God and His expressions and demonstrations of love. Everyday the sun rises and shines. Faithfulness. Because He loves us. He gave us life as a gift. Giving is an expression of love. Honesty. Because love does not lie. How do you communicate your love? Are these communications clear or misunderstood? Do you say one thing but do another?
The word abuse means abnormal use of a thing. You have been given great power by God to communicate His love or with that power hurt and destroy. Do not abuse that privelege but respect and honor it. I hope today you start thinking about how you commnicate love to others and understand God loves you very much.
The Easter season is approaching and the celebration of the Resurrection. For God so loved the world He gave His only begotten son that whoever would believe in Him would have eternal life-John 3:16. He demonstrated His love for you at the cross taking your punishment upon Himself. That is the beginning of all knowledege concerning love to correctly receive it and give it. Lets have an attitude of gratitude and do for others what He has done for us. Lay done your selfish agenda and help instead of hurt those around you. May His love be shed abroad in your heart and your communications made clear with all your endeavors.
I really like the way you present your blog. I believe it is really interesting your point about how the feelings are expressed. Your family members or your friends will understand what you are doing for them, but only if it is expressed. It is true and certainly as you said, even love is useless if it not expressed.
ReplyDeleteI feel your words deep intense in your heart when you referred to Easter season as the celebration of the Resurrection of God. I do or at least try to follow the behavior that a catholic or Christian person should have because is getting this new opportunity for having Him in the heart.
Totally agree with you. His demonstration of love is immeasurable and is the perfect example of how the love must be given.
It is true when you mentioned that the lack of communication is the source of many problems. Besides, it brings worst situations. It is correct when you say that for the most part we are selfish, pretending just being listened instead of understood. It is like when you talk and nobody understands what you are trying to say, as when you said at the beginning of your blog, you are mute.
