Rights (cont)

I've been thinking a lot about rights since my last entry... Got me thinking of something in a different light. What about God's rights?

God is our creator... He is who He is. God is the planner of our lives, the One who makes things be what they are. The one we are created in the image of... the One who breathed life into us. What about His rights?

God is the soul purpose we exist and we exist to bring glory to His name. We are made for His glory and He is actually the One that deserves everything. So what about His rights?

I think about how much I am gypping him from what He rightfully should get. Then I think of the rights of those around me... they have the right to hear the good news. Whether they take it or not is totally up to God, but they have a right.

I am so consumed about my rights that I do not think of nor acknowledge that I am violating the rights of others let alone my God. What is my purpose for living? It is to bring glory to God...

As I close up this chapter, I think of how many people's rights of knowing truth I have violated because I was self absorbed. I think of all the people in Japan who had the right to know and how many died without knowing. I think of all the people who need to hear that are hurting there, here and everywhere. I think of all those people in Africa who live in constant war and have no hope in life, will they ever know? I think of still the many that have never heard nor will ever hear and die tonight. The thing is this... It's either heaven or hell and we can't just say... o sorry for your loss when their destiny is hell... their blood is on hands. What am I going to do about this? Just mull over it and blog about it? God change my heart. Make me bold. Give me the words to speak. Let people hear your truth. Let Your people have a heart for those who are going to eternal condemnation... for those who will spend eternity in the pits of pits... Let our hearts not turn cold, desensitized, lukewarm... these people have a right to hear... and God has the right to be glorified!!!
