About
2010 most of the economical prognostics
say that it will be worse than 2009; Why?
for many reasons:
-
There
will be new jobs, but still loose
jobs. It is expected that the final
balance in this sense is that there
will be more jobs created than
the ones lost. However, this will
happen during the year, and the
first 6 months of the year will
be critical. We will still see
many companies close down and self-employed
will cease their corporate labor.
-
Many
people that lost their jobs during
2009 are and will resort to borrowing
to face this situation, they will
even have to resort to credit cards,
family or friends loans, until
they spend their “credit
lines”.
Thus, 2010 will be the year were
many added to their situation of
lack of economical productivity,
the lacking in financing and, topping
it all, they will have to face severe
tensions with the banks and also
with their personal relations, not
only because of not having a job
to allow them to produce economical
resources, but because they will
not be able to pay off their credit
cards neither their family or friends
loans.
-
This will create small, medium and
large family and friends crisis;
that will be the heaviest weight
that many people will have during
2010. In the following year we
will see an increase in the cases
of family problems, it will be
a tendency that will increase
the feeling of loneliness and
bitterness among people.
-
The greatest needs in familias will
be employment, financement and cutting
off expenses, reducing drastically
the standard of living.
-
The above will test the emotional
resistance of each person. The crisis
will let out the best and the worst
of each one. There will be more crime,
but the creativity will also rise.
-
The
security that money or consumer
adiction could bring will be a
broken idol by God for millions
of people.
-
At
the begining there will be an increase
in bitterness, depressions and
anxieties in many people, then
the social discontent and insecurity
will rise. The consumption of ilegal
and legal drugs will achieve levels
never seen before. The prescriptions
of tranquilizers and antidepresants
will rise the stock exchange in
chemists specialized in this type
of drugs.
-
It is there, at the bottom of this
crisis, where everyone will have the
opportunity to meditate, reconsider
and regret, to start building up a
different scale of values from our
previous lives.
-
This is where we will focus our work
in 2010: To help the needy in
the most essential
a. With food and clothes
b. With love and frienship
c. With family counselling
d. With labor counselling and for
the productivity
e. With courage, hope and faith
f. With a life plan that will have
a different epicenter to consumption
and accumulation of objects
g. Presenting the real gospel of
the kingdom as a real answer to the
real problems of people nowadays
-
The year 2010 will be a year for
taking care specially of those
that suffer bitterness that are
lead to express gossip, criticism,
envy and hate to those that they
see that are more estable. It
will be necessary to distinguish,
more than ever, among those that
come with a disposition of being
helped from those that come to
damage, to hurt, to destroy.
-
So in short, 2010 will be the year
in which we need that God, more
than ever, helps us and supplies
all our needs. Lets remember
that his promise remains current
offering and warning:
Matt 11:28 Come to
me, all you that labor and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest Matt
11:29 Take my yoke on you, and
learn of me; for I am meek and
lowly in heart: and you shall
find rest to your souls;
1Tim 6:10 For
the love of money is the root of
all evil: which while
some coveted after, they have erred
from the faith, and pierced themselves
through with many sorrows. 1Tim
6:11 But you, O man of God, flee these
things; and follow after righteousness,
godliness, faith, love, patience,
meekness. 1Tim
6:12 Fight the good fight of faith,
lay hold on eternal life, whereunto
you are also called, and have professed
a good profession before many witnesses.
-
My wish is that 2010 is the best
year of your life, remembering
that the best things are those
that are acquired without money.
