privacy

Privacy, a much lacking luxury in today's world.
People, so lonely, without any confidante fall into the trap of facebook's "What's on your mind?"
because, frankly speaking, nobody wants to know what's on your mind. They just want to data-mine you, and sell you useless stuff at a high price, which you will throw out when you clean your house when you get time.
Businesses and people have become ruthless. If they aren't extorting money from you, they consider you worthless and treat you with contempt.
It is pointless to truly invest yourself in relationships where people don't actively improve themselves.Fellowship has become a rare thing.
I guess long working hours and ill health are to blame.Today, people think that a workout and diet can fix anything, or money can fix anything.It truly can't.
One of the draining spirits of this generation is the abundance of social media.Unfortunately, people use it to stalk or profile colleagues/friends to misuse them and get a competitive advantage over them.
Another one is quora. People who were seeing you everyday and didn't care for you, suddenly follow you on quora to extract some knowledge from you or make fun of you in their spare time.These just leech your energy and attract the attention of empty people.Deleting them gave me more time for real stuff.

True treasure

God is a true gentleman. He doesn't show off his good deeds. He doesn't come if you don't want Him. And only a select few stick around to learn true wisdom and knowledge from Him.
Faith must be kept private in today's world.
It is amazing how in today's world, people stubbornly pursue material physical things with the promise of happiness and yet, they don't find it. I did not get those things,but I was after divine health.
I threw myself into weight training,cardio and dieting, thinking that it was my answer.I was unhappy,miserable and it didn't improve my health.
I immersed myself in the study of the Bible and other prayers. I found an unexpected treasure.Of course, our churches don't teach any of the fun stuff, but it becomes clear with the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit.I told a couple of friends, but I could feel their unbelief and misery was strong.

As human beings, we love to complicate simple things.Jesus was clear and simple in his teaching,yet so effective.He went through some horrific things,yet people brush it off as "easy,because He is the Son of God". No, it wasn't easy. He was being a perfect example of what we must be.
God wants people after his own heart, not people who make a last ditch effort to get into heaven.A pure,contrite heart is what is the need of today.
