AN UPSIDE DOWN WORLD!

 

AN UPSIDE DOWN WORLD!

 

Do you EVER WONDER=

How the PRIORITIES=of this world

Go so completely mixed up?

AN UPSIDE DOWN WORLD!=

If you will

 

NOT anything like

What Jesus and his apostles

ADVOCATED for this world=

Love=forgiveness=and KINDNESS

To name just a few

AN UPSIDE DOWN WORLD!

 

“……..GOD CHOSE

The weak of the world

To SHAME the strong……..”                                                                                                  1 Corinthians 1:27

 

It is just

AS TRUE TODAY=as when

Our Lord was WALKING

The hillsides and grass=in the old old world

OF YESTERDAY

It was=

AN UPSIDE DOWN WORLD back then

And it still is

AN UPSIDE DOWN WORLD TODAY!

 

It makes it so difficult

To KEEP GOD AND FAMILY

First in our lives

 

WHEN the world tells us=

It is MATERIAL THINGS=sex appeal

And popularity that matters

We live in

AN UPSIDE DOWN WORLD!

 

“If I were hungry=

I would not tell you

 

FOR THE WORLD

Is mine=and all

That is in it”                                                                                                                     Psalm 50:12

 

“You are=

The light of THE WORLD

 

A town built=on a hill

Cannot be hidden”                                                                                                         Matthew 5:14

 

“For God=

SO LOVED THE WORLD

 

That he gave his one=

And only SON=that whoever

Believes in him

Shall not perish=but have ETERNAL LIFE”                                                                         John 3:16

 

WHY DOES

Jesus’ view of the world=

OFFEND the powers that be=

Because we live

IN AN UPSIDE WORLD!=where

The world’s views=are ASKEW

 

Jesus loves US=

The SO-CALLED LOSERS

Of this world

 

He loves the POOR=the meek=

And the forsaken=In other words

He loves us=we live in

AN UPSIDE DOWN WORLD!

 

He loves us=BECAUSE

We have nothing=and NO ONE ELSE

To turn to

ONLY=God the Holy Father and Jesus

 

“You TURN THINGS=UPSIDE DOWN

As if the potter=were thought

To be like the clay”                                                                                                            Isaiah 29:16

 

So what is=THE LESSON

From God today?=from Jesus?

 

It is that=we are

TOTALLY DEPENDENT=on God and Jesus

In this=UPSIDE DOWN WORLD

That we live in

 

It is that=we are to LIVE

Like God and Jesus=in this world

 

May you live=with CHANGED VALUES

Love=forgiveness=and KINDNESS

Just like Jesus=in this

AN UPSIDE WORLD!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of OUR FORVER LIVING=FOREVER LOVING Holy Father God1
