How Attractions can Make or Break Good People

How Attractions can Make or Break Good People

The latest article I wrote spoke about the evil that pedaphilia has created among too many unsuspecting people.  Those who were blindsided and the continuing adherence to its grasp pulled innocent children and their closest allies down to the depths of darkness.

Take the term attraction and place it in the most illustrious setting of life and watch the rise or fall of human desire that raises or lowers one's ability to success or failure.  

Perhaps the tragedy that has occurred from our most atrocious effects of child abuse is the residue that remains with the victims.  What, you may say, have to do with attractions?  These unsuspecting victims have nothing in common with their attackers, but these perpetrators' evil intentions have become an attraction to their evil desires and they are on a road to self-destruction.

Point here is where has this evil inclination come from?  When God created mankind, he realized there would be a common weakness in the hearts of human beings.  But because he did not want his creatures to depend on himself as a puppeteer he gave them the gift of free will.  Therefore, as each of us learns who God is and the kingdom he invites us to seek, the quest of our efforts will be of our own choice.  

Seeing within the vision of pleasure for the righteous reasons will become the attraction of making our choice one that will forever give us freedom from the evil that exists in life.  On the other hand, there will be the vision of only greed, and the desire of the flesh, attractions to satisfy a lustful need which has come from an evil that somehow has overtaken the truth of life.  This happened in the garden God gave to Adam and continues in our present time of human history.  

Our current existence of evil being rampant and the occurrence of innocence being trampled into darkness creates a most absence of God’s grace on his creatures.  He never intended this to happen, but the free will he has given to each person has become filled with an attraction of some doing as they please and not caring who gets hurt in the process. 

We are living in the last days of humanity and the results of a coming judgment that surely will separate the just from the unjust of God.  Here the attractions of making or breaking the human spirit will assuredly be a reality and not just a metaphor.  

As I write about the evil that exists through so much contempt for God and the innocent individuals who are ruined for life hurts me since I believe in the right to life and just feel the atrocities perpetrated on innocent persons.  There are more than a few abused persons, most of them now adults who have committed suicide because they were made to feel guilty of the evil done to them.  This becomes an attraction towards the lambs who never knew God’s love for them.  Our eternal love must reach each of them before it becomes too late.
