How often do you see this, you’re watching tv and a skateboarder misses a trick and lands on the the rail right between the legs,
CUE: laugh track.
Or the camera shows a person hiding and some unsuspecting person walking towards their hideout, hidden person jumps out and scares the other.
CUE: laugh track.
Or a old classic, the prank call, some unsuspecting person becomes the entertainment of the caller, all at the expense of the person who doesn’t know what’s going on.
CUE: laugh…track….?
Do you find yourself laughing too? Do you realize you’re being trained by the world to not think or care about the person, but instead to laugh at their pain?
Do you think to yourself, ‘oh it’s just harmless fun’? is it really harmless?
have you ever been the brunt of a joke everyone is there laughing at you, so you laugh to keep up your image, when inside it hurts.
Listen, this is not God’s way, look at this:
1 Corinthians 13
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
His word tells us to love, and not delight in evil. So answer this, do you laugh at things out of love or out of evil?
The world teaches us, trains us, to delight in evil, in others hurt, in others pain.
God teaches us to love.
My friends, choose God’s way, retrain your mind away from the world’s way and towards Gods way.

That's pretty DEEP dude!
Thanks for sharing it..... It's alwas good to freshen up on the difference between God's thoughts and our thoughts...... The way we see things and the way He sees them can (and most of the time are) like the difference between white and black.
