All I can do is to think about this Bible verse and cry like the lady, all we can do is live with faith in Jesus in a world so mad!

A certain Pharisee invited Jesus to dine with him,

and he entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at table.
Now there was a sinful woman in the city
who learned that he was at table in the house of the Pharisee.
Bringing an alabaster flask of ointment,
she stood behind him at his feet weeping
and began to bathe his feet with her tears.
Then she wiped them with her hair,
kissed them, and anointed them with the ointment.
When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this he said to himself,
“If this man were a prophet,
he would know who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him,
that she is a sinner.”
Jesus said to him in reply,
“Simon, I have something to say to you.”
“Tell me, teacher,” he said.
“Two people were in debt to a certain creditor;
one owed five hundred days’ wages and the other owed fifty.
Since they were unable to repay the debt, he forgave it for both.
Which of them will love him more?”
Simon said in reply,
“The one, I suppose, whose larger debt was forgiven.”
He said to him, “You have judged rightly.”
Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon,
“Do you see this woman?
When I entered your house, you did not give me water for my feet,
but she has bathed them with her tears
and wiped them with her hair.
You did not give me a kiss,
but she has not ceased kissing my feet since the time I entered.
You did not anoint my head with oil,
but she anointed my feet with ointment.
So I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven;
hence, she has shown great love.
But the one to whom little is forgiven, loves little.”
He said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
The others at table said to themselves,
“Who is this who even forgives sins?”
But he said to the woman,
“Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”

~Luke 7:36-50

All I can do is to think about this Bible verse and cry like the lady, all we can do is live with faith in Jesus in a world so mad! I feel the same way. I just love and love. Try to be kind to all. Always trying to do what is right, but so often feel so down, no one responds or loves back. You call, text, email, write, send gifts for birthdays, just always trying to be nice to others, but people just completely ignore you. If you talk about God or Jesus, they are turned off or call you a freak. Like what Edgar Casey talked about in a lot of his work, the world is on its way to become very mad, we see it today, so much dysfunction. The mail loses our mail. The insurance companies website does not work to send a message. The store charged both my debit and credit card for a purchase when the debit wouldn't work, they charged both anyway, why aren't there guardrails on such things so this doesn't happen? We see a failing government and world with so much debt, so much fraud and corruption, so much greed and dishonesty today. We do see a lot of hypocritical Pharisees and bad governments today for sure. It is hard to trust and have faith in our governments or our institutions today. All I can do is trust in God, put all my faith in Him, try to love like Jesus like He wants us to do. He wants us to forgive too. A lot will hurt you, come after you, judge you, hurt you, we need to forgive, we need to have faith in God, we need to pray and pray for others, it is all about faith. We need to remember to always turn it all over to God! He hears our tears! Sometimes I just want to cry with all that is going on in our world today, all the hate, vengeance, all the terrorism from fake news and false religions, just so many hypocrites and haters, they make so many excuses for sin, trying to justify it all, like that of killing babies or persecuting others, we see so much conditioning, brainwashing, hate, negativity, terror and evil and wickedness, so many excuses for all this sin, hate, and lawlessness, it is so sad to see. I just have been in tears thinking about it all. All we can do is devote our lives to Jesus, turn to Him, shed tears at His feet too, love Him and love all others. we just need to have great faith that God will make everything turn out okay, we need to look beyond things of this world, make getting into Heaven our number one priority and just have faith and love everyone even if they do not appreciate it, just love everyone! We can see here that we at least know that Jesus appreciates it and He wants our tears, love, and faith in Him! Sowing in tears can bring joy when we put all our faith in Jesus! It really is all about faith, hope, and love!
