Things That Brand Me Sad--Cain
I can't believe it.
It makes me sad.
The commencement human being born on public murdered the instant human being born on earth, his ain blood brother (Genesis 4).
God warned him; he ignored God's warning.
First murder.
First aeroplane murder.
First recorded sarcasm from his guilty lips (Genesis 4:9).
Not sorry for what he'd done.
Not sorry for his blood brother or grieving mother.
Sorry for himself (Genesis 4:13).
God loved; he hated. And in addition to thence he wallowed inwards self-pity.
"Do non last similar Cain, who belonged to the evil i in addition to murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his ain actions were evil in addition to his brother's were righteous." 1 John 3:12
How God must accept grieved when Cain's manful someone rear Adam listened to Satan in addition to and thence when Cain, Adam's commencement son, became Satan's disciple.
And Cain's legacy continues. (See Cain Provides a Good Bad Example.)
How oft accept I grieved the Lord past times feeling sorry for myself, non sorry for my sin?
I am saddened past times the many ways mankind has grieved God, the many ways I accept grieved God.
Dear Lord, give us hearts that head to Your love.
