The title of this article expresses the sentiment of many people. The
society in which we live is one that believes everyone should mind their own
business. If someone decides to behave in a sinful way then they should not
hear negativity from anyone about it. Foolishly, many believe that their
actions do not affect others. Yet, the Psalmist said "Rivers of water run
down from my eyes, Because men do not keep Your law" (Psalm 119:136). The
Psalmist was not upset about his own salvation but about of the salvation of
others. When people decide to turn away from God and live in an ungodly way
it hurts God. It hurts the God who we love so dearly. It distresses the God
that created us and has blessed us in uncountable ways. It hurts God when
He sees His creation in pain and similarly it should hurt us when we see our
Creator in distress. Those who live contradictory to the commands of God
have hurt the God who loves them dearly. As children of His, this should
cause us emotional pain. We should all desire the repentance of sinful
activity. Those who do not concern themselves when others oppose the will
of God need to consider how greatly it hurts Him. It might be your life, but
God is the One who gave it to you.
