Spoiled People

We are a blinded people, we have not opened our eyes to the needs and hurts of those not only around us, but outside our surroundings. We tend to look at our own needs, and desires thinking of what we don't have and the things we desire.  We have become a spoiled people, with all that God has blessed us with, we walk around like ungrateful children who never had to work for anything, We complain about what we don't have neglecting to look at all that we do have and how truly blessed we are.  Even if you consider yourself poor in need and lacking, you are still very rich compared to most of the world. Most of those who consider themselves poor have a roof over their head, running water, Electric, gas, a vehicle of some sort and I'm willing to bet smartphones.  There are ways to obtain food if you can't buy it, if you're unable to pay your bills the government assist you. And yet you consider yourself poor when you actually have way more then a lot of people in this world.  We have become complacent neglecting to realize all that we truly have here.  We truly do not sacrifice anything, for those that Christ told us to minister to. "The least of these"  we have become like the Levite and the Priest who bypass the wounded and dying man on the road to Jericho.  We are very much like the Rich Young Ruler, who refused to give up his riches and to follow Christ!  We are nothing like the widow who gave all she had to live on to God, While others gave out of their abundance much like we do today!  When are we going to truly deny ourselves and take up our cross and follow Christ?  We have not stepped out of the boat out of our safty net and self reliance putting our trust in Christ!  I fear that there will many self proclaimed Christians who hear the words " depart from me you workers of iniquity I never knew you"  for we say that we have faith but we truly have never tested that Faith or show that faith too many times we rely upon ourselves failing to putting our trust in God. I fear we don't even come close to understanding and obeying 1st Corinthians chapter 13.
