I watched “Intervention” on the A&E website today. It was about a 24 years old woman named Megan. To summarize it: her mother left her and her brothers or brother and sister (I can’t remember what sex the other sibling was) at the age of 11 yrs. old because as her mother put it, “I deserved to have a life too…” because Megan’s father worked on an average of 60 hours a week and left her mom with the children. The father didn’t spend time with his children either. At the age of 14, Megan was reunited with her mom and her new boyfriend who, later on, raped her and continued to do so for about 4 - 5 months. She told her mom but her mother blamed Megan saying that she “enticed him...dressed provocatively like a whore…” and called her a slut. The mother called the father but he did nothing because as he put it, “...I thought her mother would…” which was pretty pathetic. Her mother chose to remain with the boyfriend and left with him to another state because she “...loved him and wanted to make a life with him…” Now, with all of this, it’s no wonder that Megan got into drugs, drinking and theft. She was abandoned by both parents. At the age of 22, she had an ongoing addiction to heroin for 2 years. During the intervention, her mother still had the same mindset of “...I deserve to be happy. Why shouldn’t I have a life?”
This just sums up how this world is. It’s selfish, delusional, chaotic and whatever else label fits. Why? Because of sin. Why? Because as old as time itself, people rather rule themselves and think, no, believe their lives are their own and they deserve to be happy. “I have a right to be happy...It’s my life and no one is going to tell me what to do...Look out for number 1…” on and on. Well, I tell you, that’s not it. We are suppose to help each other in whatever we’re blessed with. This country, like Megan’s parents, has abandoned Jesus Christ. Yes, it’s true. Also, we need to stop leaving GOD out of our lives. That’s where the intervention comes in. This country was founded on basic Christian principles but this country has gotten so far from it that it’s lost it’s dang mind. Look at all of the chaos going on. It’s ridiculous. All because some Americans are saying Jesus has no place in this country. What? I can remember when the World Trade Center attacks happened, people couldn’t get enough of Jesus. “Pray for us...pray for this nation…” But after everything seemed to get “back to normal” then He was put off to the side again. SMH. Jesus did not come here to sacrifice His life, die and then rise again to give us a way to redemption just so that this country, this world can go to Hell literally. Ok, not everyone is jacked up totally but still, it’s just, it’s still a mess. Here’s the intervention I believe is needed: allow Christ back into this United States of America. Allow Christ back into your hearts if He was once there. If not, let Him in now. Let’s seek Him. Let’s turn this country back into what it was meant to be: a great nation. Come on! Let’s stop being selfish, prideful, mislead by darkness and enter into His marvelous light. I guarantee that if that happens, no one will be disappointed. It may not happen overnight but it will be glorious when it does happen. Think about it.
