It is particularly convenient to have been born a citizen of the U.S. where you are guaranteed life, liberty and justice. However, there are many areas in many cities I would not recommend going into, particularly if you are white. You would likely discover that the law is of the street and dog eat dog mentalities. Consider yourself divinely fortunate to have an abode where you can relieve yourself, wash your body and to have also been educated sufficently to maintain a good life. Many do not have these simple luxuries. Only ignorance, squalor, and a continual fear of death from hunger, disease, or a bullet in the head. Who are you able to direct your gratitude too? Are you greatful to God or do you just think that YOU deserved such things when others do not. Romans 9 "14What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 15For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy. 17For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might show my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. 18Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. 19Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? 20Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? 21Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? 22What if God, willing to show his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: 23And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?" May you see God's Sovereign purpose in your life and circumstances. God bless you, Santiago
