As you know, I post here everyday. Sometimes it is difficult finding something to write about, but by and large, I manage to post every day. My posts are a mixture of humourous articles, some music every now and then, and Christian based serious articles.
I study the statistics to see which posts attract most visitors, and I noticed that about 80% of visitors are first time visitors. This are people who may visit my Blog once and possibly not return again; or return a while later and be marked as first visitors once more. I think 80% turnover is good, because it shows I am spreading the net further all the time. Most people visit to read the humourous articles, and then, hopefully, read the Christian articles too.
We never know who visits our Blogs and not leave a comment.
And that's when the thought struck me.
How many people who read my Christian articles do so with a closed heart?
How many think, "Oh ... not that again! He is on about religion once more! I'll come back another day ... or perhaps never!"
But then ... who am I to complain?
Better people than me have preached, and written and Blogged far better than me.
For thousands of years God has been speaking to this world through the prophets, through Jesus and through the Holy Spirit.
And there are still plenty of closed hearts intent on not listening and on doing their own thing.
I feel there's a hardening of hearts throughout the world. People opposing each other. Lack of compassion and forgiveness.
But these are only the symptoms. They are not the root cause of the matter.
I fear many have ceased to believe in the existence of God. It is just us now. There is no One else.
The ultimate struggle; man wants to be in control of his own destiny.
And God let's him be.
