Daily Prompt: Bewildered

I was so confused by the way you were speaking to me for, I walked up to you with a smile bright on my face. 

Yet all you could be was nasty and cruel and I just didn’t have the energy to tell you off tonight. 

But, that moment just kept play on repeat in my head until I just had to say something to you. 

I asked if I had done something to upset you?

You said no 

I said then why were you so rude to me yesterday, after I greeted you?

You said I don’t feel like I was being rude I just was tired and you must have read that as rude but, I was just not in the mood to talk so well let it go. 

I said fine if you feel that was how you were not acting I guess I should let it go and move. 

I didn’t see how that behavior was acceptable and the way you were talking now just confused me even more. 

For I now felt maybe you had always been this way and now in the light I saw you for who you are and I didn’t like it at all. 

Needless to say I’m not confused anymore and you just aren’t someone I want around anymore.

  3. R New – I'm a 1959 Baby Boomer which has allowed me to see drastic changes in the Christian landscape. I grew up going to Church every Sunday, in those days the Bible still had strong roots in America. In my 20's, I participated with the Church in public meetings. There were about eight of us who would go out to a street corner or public park to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. There were horns, a bass drum, singing, and a short Salvation message from the Bible. Suddenly, that all changed. The city passed ordinances to prohibit that type of public "solicitation." Today, it seems almost illegal to mention the Gospel to the younger generation. I retired at the age of 62. As a person living for the testimony of Jesus Christ, I always felt like a salmon swimming against the current. Work was always a struggle between trying to be a decent individual while dealing with "progressive" and "left wing" changes at the workplace. It's clear that there is a force in the world that is quietly eliminating the Gospel of Jesus Christ while making Christians look like enemies of humanity. At the same time, there is a force in the world that has power over physiology and is able to form thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It is definitely against Jesus Christ. John 3:16 is something I always want to cling to, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." I know the suffering of spiritual assault that hinders a constructive lifestyle & when frustration & anger seems to be the sole option - I know we can survive through the Cross of Christ. We have a home in the Kingdom of Heaven waiting for us.

    Seems to me that some people are bewildered when seeing a smiling face….I’m always bewildered by the anger some have towards the beauty in this world.
