Hamilton oh Hamilton! How sketch art thou!
Not every part of Hamilton is sketch lol. There are some nicer places around =) However! The bus stop that I wait at everyday is right outside a porn shop... so I do see a lot of different people around. Sometimes I do move to wait at the next bus stop... but still... there are people who seem to be "high" around that corner.
Waiting waiting waiting. Thinking thinking thinking. Seeing how the women are dressed, how the men interact, the words they use, the look on their faces makes me think: Only if they knew God.
My purpose in this post isn't to judge other people, call them names and condemning them to hell. It is not. I simply want to say that only if they knew God, then they would know that there is so much more, that they themselves are worth so much more, and that life is so much more satisfying.
Yesterday, someone asked me if I would go on a ride with a hot guy on a nice motorcycle if he asked me to. Seriously? To be honest... I thought that was a dumb question. Who the heck would get on ride with a stranger? But I knew what the person meant. I think he was asking if I would take a good looking guy (I think). My answer was: "I'm too good for that!" (Just for laughs though)
But for reals, I am too good for that. Hahaha! If that's all the guy got, then yes, I am too good for that. I'm not being cocky/ snobby here. It's just very hard for me to respect men who have nothing inside. Screw the looks, the money, the nice car or whatever! I really don't care. I know that I am a daughter of God and that I have everything I ever need, ever imagine in Him. God fulfills all the things I lack. In fact, His giving overflows!
I really wish the women knew that they don't need to dress like that to get love; they're already loved! I wish the men knew that they don't need to get high in order to escape life; they're already free! They can actually have everything they need and they can actually get and keep it! But it seem as though it's a never ending chase and a never ending wait. I know that my ride will come and I don't have to scramble to make it come; it's not a never ending chase; not a never ending wait. (duhh... it says on the bus schedule lol)
Truth is: My Lord and God is coming back very soon.
Fact is: We can have satisfaction in this life in just knowing God.
I'm very very happy to know that God is here all along. It just breaks my heart when people don't and can't see God for who He really is and turn to worldly things instead. Not to say that I'm giving up on reaching out to others, it just saddens me to see hopelessness across their faces.
"...Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me..." Psalms 23:4
Sadly I know that bus stop and even more sadly is that I've witnessed my own sketchy experience there, hahaha.
