Preface:: When the world revolves around us, we become
unaware of the worthless impact we have on the world.
There is an enemy whose name is Selfish. The army of Selfish conquered the world and through its deadly weapon of "self" the world became distorted and tainted with evil. The world was stripped barren and Loneliness was left to comfort those who were broken, clouding their hearts and minds with an impenetrable darkness.
There is a Creator who gently and lovingly formed every person, and He loves each because He has shaped each in His image. He made all people uniquely different and created each for His purpose. Every person, every soul, was His perfect creation, flawless... until the army of Selfish and their ally, Self-Independence, conquered the hearts of men, thus destroying The Creators perfect creation.
Do we understand or even comprehend how many hearts and lives are shattered everyday? And with every fracture the God of love and justice weeps in sorrow, for His children have been deceived by the enemy. Heartbreaking sobs stream down from heaven. A sacrifice needed to be made; a perfect and beautifully flawless sacrifice needed to be brought forth. The One who is holy and righteous was brought down to earth from heaven. The Creator looked down and saw His one and only Son hanging from a bloodstained tree- the Holy Sacrifice. And the Holy Sacrifice had only one desire: to defeat the army of Selfish and rescue His people from bondage, bringing them into an eternal relationship with their Creator.
The enemy whose army is named Selfish destroyed the world, but Truth prevailed over Selfish through the powerful strength of Love. The Creator's most precious creation whose hearts and lives have been shattered are now being gently pieced back together. This is the Creator's magnificent salvation story for the world; all He asks is for His creation to accept His offer of eternal life.
The army of Selfish has been forever defeated, but the destruction it left behind became known as Selfishness and Blindness. We can no longer see our Creator, but picking through the rubble is the army of Truth. All the Broken need to do is trust that their Creator will hear their cries.
We as Christians need to be on our knees praying daily for the lost and broken. Think about the hundreds, thousands, and millions who are condemned to hell. How can we possibly sit back and bask in the goodness of God and never tell someone about Jesus?
Open your eyes to reality.
"Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son." (John 3:18)

Excellent lesson and very well written!
