Note: I do not know the opinion of the author of this work, but I know I see the awesome wonder of God in these images and I hope with a sincere heart that you do to.

There is a woman in the video who screams, “Why are you doing that”. As far as I can tell, she is the only clear voice that can be heard over the chaos of the room. Her voice is a cry for justice that we should all be expecting an answer too. It doesn’t matter if this man was being rude, or over dramatic, or adversarial. What matter is that one person who carried no weapon was over powered by a team of security personnel and then tasered.

Give this video a watch and then leave your opinion in the comments box below.

There are times when we all feel like that, but fortunately this feeling passes for most of us and we get up, dust ourselves off, and go on about our business. But if you feel like you are continually picking yourself up off the ground, then consider this. God does in fact love you even if you are face down in the dirt. The events that happen to us and how we handle them are what shape who we are and what we are becoming. God doesn’t make accidents. He didn’t create you to fail. He wants you to succeed and he wants you to help others succeed.

So, when you feel like events are conspiring against you just remember that there are all levels of difficulty in this world and you situation is temporary. God has a plan for you and a place in his house. He wants to spend eternity with you as one of his children. So today, make the choice to see things from God’s perspective and not your own. He is pulling for you and so am I.

John 3:16 (The Message)

This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him.

With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.

At the time of this post the product site for Windows Vista has the image of a man taking pictures of a child having fun in the summer sun with the slogan, "Live it today. Relive it tomorrow." The phrase combined with the picture is suppose to give a feel good sensation that these are the times we will want to remember forever. That's all well intended, but here is the truth of the matter.

We all have events and actions in our past that we would like to forget. Maybe we continue to bring those unpleasant memories up when are feeling insecure or unsure of what course of action to take. Maybe we think others remember those events and action so we make decisions based out of fear for what others will think. Or, maybe we just hold onto those memories thinking that if we remember it then surely God would never forgive us for them.

The truth is there is always a brighter future ahead of us than there will ever been in the past because God doesn't want to condemn us. He wants to set us free of fear and darkness. He is the ultimate measure of goodness and righteousness and if we will seek His forgiveness then He will give it faithfully. With His forgiveness there is no one who can condemn us and so we should not live in fear of what others will think. Since His forgiveness is complete then we should not hang on to that which is no longer applicable in our lives. While we should certainly learn from our mistakes and seek the wisdom of God to make better decisions in the future, the past is not within our ability influence so we can live as if it is.

So, while I agree that we should "live it today", we should not "relive it tomorrow". Each day is fresh and new and wonderful because God is with us in all that we do and His plans are so much greater than our own.

Salvation is the promise of eternal life. So live it today, and leave your finger off of the rewind button.
