A priceless perspective

As I get older I am beginning to see one constant thing wherever I go. I have worked at the statehouse in the presence of state representatives and senators and I currently work with low income families. From the senators all the way down to the low income families I see that “morality” is on the decline. No matter what level I find myself at or what level of education the people have, moral decline seems to be a constant. I used to think before I got saved that I could clean my own self up. This is one of the biggest weapons of Satan, which is to get us to think that we can clean our own selves up. We did not create ourselves so why would we think that we can fix what we did not create? This spoke volumes to my ignorance before I got saved. I understand now looking back how foolish I was. I was prideful and in denial. I would have to say that one of the best benefits of being saved is having a “new perspective” on life. This perspective is priceless. I am realizing that no matter how much money or power someone has, they can not buy morality or integrity. I have seen people from the top to the bottom struggle with these issues and there is only one God that can change their spiritual condition.
