Where has RESPECT gone in modern day society. It has been 40 plus years since Aretha Franklin conquered the billboard charts with the number one hit. I guess in the last 40 years society has transitioned from the forgotten term. I see evidence of this on a daily basis and it is very disheartening. People in the 21st century are more worried about loathing in self deprivation then Respecting others. This has been seen lately in the media, political, and music industries as well. Does President Obama and Artist Taylor Swift not have enough criticism to dodge from the media and haters? Is it really neccesary for their recognition to be sabotaged from immature lost pathetic individuals like Joe Wilson and Kanye West. You can also witness this on a daily basis during your normal routines. If it isn't the latest coworker soap opera, the finger and horn from an opposing driver, or a kid at the grocery store disrespecting his parents, or a husband and wife arguing in public because they had a stressful day. Where has respect gone in 2009? If we aren't respecting each other then we are definately not respecting God! I mean it says in the scripture if you don't love your brother, who is in the flesh, then you definately can't love and respect the Lord. We are all God's children and it is only because he sent his only son to die for us that we are alive. As a father I can somewhat comprehend what that must have been like. My son Talyn and Meghan are my Life after God. They make every day an adventure and blessing to my life. Grow up America and get over yourselves, start honoring God and he will put your heart at peace and bless your life. Let me take you to 1 Corinthians Chapter 13: If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, i am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. THe scripture continues: Love is patient and kind, love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. Get LOVE back in your lives and its mate RESPECT will follow. I challenge you to Love and Respect everyone, if you do you will honor God and He will bless you and you will be much happier!
GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
