What are you trying to show me Lord?

I am in Birmingham Al. this week. I arrived Tues. night and will leave Sat. morning. Our company bought a milling plant down here and I am going to have to spend some time here of and on for the next few months. This plant is just east of the airport in a very very poor part of the city.

I see people every day that pick up cans, junk iron or anything else to make a living.
My eyes have been opened up and my heart sees this part of society in a way I never had before.
What are you showing me Lord and what am I suppose to do? My life back in Oklahoma is far removed from this and I am having new questions on what is just? I don't deserve one solitary thing that I have in my life and see now how unfair life on this fallen planet really is. God have mercy on me for ever complaining about anything. The plight for the people in this part of town is tragic, but its not as tragic as those in other parts of the world, but it is still all the more tragic. I need help! What have I done with my life? What do I need to do with it now? Guilt is creeping in and I need to deal with it. Lord have mercy on me and don't let me deal with it by hardning my heart though.

I will post more on this issue as my time down here increases.

Comments:
May God bless us all to find His way for us in this world and grant us the vision to remain apart from it.
 
I think we all ask ourselves that same question. God has His way of showing, we just need to keep looking and have faith.

God's Grace.
 
Thank for the comments. I am scheduled to go back the first week in Aug. I will be on vacation starting friday till Aug.
 
I hope all is well with you and you've had a great vacation. A new post is overdue! (grin)
