I Wonder if God Cries
My mother read me a quote today about God crying when He sees how His children respond when people use His name in vain, and do sinful things. It led us to talk about how it seems like we just have become inured to the bad and evil all around us - to the point where we DON'T react when someone uses the Lord's name in vain, or when they cheat or lie or sleep around or abuse alcohol and drugs. Our youth's role models are, for the most part, disgusting in their lifestyles and behaviors. But they are making millions of dollars, so our kids look at them as folks who have "made it."
An example would be Amy Winehouse or Lindsay Lohan, or Brittany Spears. Sad, sad, sad young ladies all, but wealthy and popular. My fear is that in some cases it is because of their indiscretions rather than in spite of them. When did immoral behavior become not only acceptable, but fashionable? It is beyond my understanding, and I feel nothing but pity for these "superstars" - and trepidation for the young people that follow them.
1 Timothy 2:9-10
I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.

Yeah its pretty sad. :( I walk around my school and I just see what seems like everyone falling into Satan's trap. I see Christian friends of mine going down the wrong path and prostituting themselves for the evil wickedness that Satan is laying before them. I even agree to once using fowl language all the time becuase I thought it was what everyone "cool" was doing!!! But I was wrong and I see that now. I pray that the Lord will help me stand strong in this time but it is harder than I was led to believe. So yeah I do wonder what God's reaction is when He sees his children just handing themselves over to temptation. A verse that I find that kind of helps me from straying off God's path for me is Hebrews 12:1-3 and it really puts things in perspective for me!!!
Ephesians 5:15-17 NKJV
"See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is."
