Micah 1 - 4; Hebrews 6

I'm over it, all the MJ hoopla....
I'm sad at what that young boy had to endure to become the man he was....
I'm sad in recieving all that he thot he wanted he became so isolated......
I'm sad that he didn't have people around him pointing him to You and if he did I'm sad he didn't, couldn't, wouldn't listen...

the lyrics of this song are particularly haunting....especially this stanza

Everyone's Taking Control Of Me
Seems That The World's Got A Role For Me
I'm So Confused Will You Show
To Me You'll Be There For Me
And Care Enough To Bear Me
I want to believe that the simplicity of those lyrics speaks to a journey for him, for those lost.
We have influence over people whether we want to admit it or not ....people are watching and being influenced....our children, our grandchildren....how are they being influenced....what do they, have they, could they see....On my good days, the ones where I don't care who I am influencing, I don't care who might or might not like me.....
I just want my influence to be about pointing people to a journey...
pointing people to You.....
I want to believe that my wanting that ...
it will happen.....
Hebrews 6: 18-20 We who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go. It's an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God where Jesus, running on ahead of us, has taken up his permanent post as high priest for us, in the order of Melchizedek.
