PROBLEM

Why are people rioting, killing, burning, beating people up all over the nation?  There has to be a reason.  People just don't do these thing for no reason. I believe mankind is predisposed to care for one another. 

Watch what happens when news of a calamity is broadcast over the airwaves.  Before the newscast is completed, funds and volunteers are already on the way to help what ever is needed.  Or look what happens when a women suddenly looses her husband to a heart attack or some other sudden death and she doesn't know what to do. Neighbors in the community are immediately in motion to help her with food and encouragement. That is the real natural of mankind.  

So why are we seeing the opposite happening in our great nation?  hate and violance are rampant in the streets.  Brother is fighting against his brother and children walking on the sidewalk minding their own business, are shot for fun by gangs.  People's livelyhood are destroyed and burned without a reason.  It doesn't make sense.  Hatred greed, and jealousy are powerful motivators to cause people to do evil things. 

AN ANSWER

I believe God created us like a puzzle.  All the things we have experienced or did not experience, is our completeness- good experiences, produces good outcomes, but bad experiences produces the opposite.  Good parenting produces good children, and bad or no parenting produces bad children. 

We are the sum total of our past.  But God set up provision that the past can be changed.  You see, in that puzzle of our life, there is one piece missing.  that missing piece produces emptiness that is unbearable.  People try to fill that missing piece with drugs, alcohol.and partying that goes away shortly bringing back the emptiness.

Piece with God through Jesus Christ fills that emptiness. By simply asking Him to come into your life, finding forgiveness, and letting Him change your life will make a diffefrence. 

Like that old advertisement said, "TRY IT, YOU WILL LIKE IT".  You will never want to go back to the old way.
