"The World's Not Safe Anymore"....can we make it "The World's Safe Again"?

Is this how you feel? "The world's not safe anymore!"

Well I can't tell you a lie, and say that you never have to worry about that because "of course the World Is Safe." "The World's Not Safe Anymore" and that is the honest truth. What are the dangers/problems in our world today? Well here's a list of what I have seen from my the world around me...
*fear&worry about the future
*heartbreak&now a fear of trusting again
*respect not being taught to children
*lying to get what you want or around something
*broken families
*abuse and crimes increasing
*fights and violence
*drugs being the way to deal with things for all ages
*alcohol...mistakes made while drunk trying to forget past mistakes
*financial scares and insecurity
*dangers in the streets...guns&knifes being carried sometimes
*hunger in the world which is unbareable
*disease taking over many areas
*Natural disastors that seem to increase in severity
*decaying moral values
*know knowledge of the Gospel

Now that is just a list that I came up with some from people around me other items what we know and have seen in this world. It isn't a secret to anyone that there is more violence, street danger, and abuse happening. How many people are afraid of the future and worry constantly about it...or how many people have had their hearts broken and are afraid to trust again. Families are hurting with financial strains, divorce, combined families, and in many families respect and "old" morals are not taught directly. We know that drugs and alcohol abuse is a huge issue growing daily...many people know someone who drinks or does drugs or has in the past. The world in general is hurting...look at the hunger, diseases, and disasters....it is crying out in pain. Lastly Christian morals and the Gospel message is constantly under attack, it  is the "old" ways many see it as irrelevant to their lives today.

So I will not sit here and tell you a lie the hard, cold, honest truth is...."The World's Not Safe Anymore" But how many of those things that were in the list or talked about above can we do something about? Can we work to stop the violence and abuse? What about the drug and alcohol abuse...can we fight that? What about broken or combined families possibly struggling or just with old scares healing...can we be there for them? What about hunger, disease, disasters...can we help support those causes to add them? What about someone who is afraid and worried for the future...can we encourage and support them? What about someone heart broken...can we help them rebuild their ability to trust? Now...what about the Christian morals and the Gospel story....can we help to teach this generation and all people about them and the best story ever told?

How many things above did you answer yes to? Now this isn't a survey or one of those now please support this charity things....this was simply to get you thinking. I pray nightly for God to use me to change this hurting and lost world. But I am one person and can not do everything on my own...who else in this huge world knows that there is more that they can be doing to affect the above things. "The World's Not Safe Anymore"...but there is a place that I pray you will all be in one day that is...Heaven with our heavenly Father God and Savior Jesus who loves each person and hates seeing this hurting and dangerous world.

Who else wants to make a change and try and make "The World Safe Again"? I do...do you?
