How incredibly wealthy man is, in the things of distraction.  And how incredibly impoverished he has become, in the knowledge of the One who is made him.

For decades I was angry at man, because he was so exclusive.  They spoke of tolerance and inclusion, but no matter where I turned, there was no such thing to be found among men.  So I perceived that they lived in a great and impenetrable lie.

But now a love for God has dawned within my soul, and with proof.  He is full of inclusion by His mercy, which is tolerant for my ignorance.  I find he is fully trustworthy.  I find he is unmistakably true.

And now I find a new source of anger.  It causes me boundless frustration, that the great lie of man so willingly disregards what is true.

I was incensed that they would not receive me.  Until I realized they would not even receive the Holy One.

Among men what do I have left to lose?  They have not taken from me, they have rejected me all together. (In this I do not speak of the body of Christ.) And now, why should this be surprising?  For they even reject the One who made them, for the sake of their dear and deep love for distraction.

Bring them a new distraction and they will love you.  Offer them eternal life and they despise you.  Yes they want to live forever.  But I find they are not willing to part with their sins.  Not even willing!

Am I wrong for allowing this to frustrate me?  Am I amiss for despising the ways of man?  Who crucified Jesus?
