People focus
I was moved yesterday on reading of the 92 year-old who committed suicide this week. She was the UK’s greatest fundraiser for the British Legion selling poppies every year for the majority of her life. But after believing the Post Office had lost a cheque gift sent in the post and on top of that then being bombarded by charity begging letters she committed suicide. Her daughter said “she just lost faith in people”.
How sad!
But it will happen.
What will we do when people disappoint?
When they hurt us?
When they take and not give?
Do we write off humanity?
Yet I reserve seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed down to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him.” (1 Kings 19:18 NIV)
Elijah you are not the only one left. I have 7000 in the city. Have faith in people.
God would say don’t focus on those who bring you down.
There are so many more who build you up.
Spend time with those.
Don’t categorise everyone in the same way.
There are still great people around your life.
