OMG! One thing I can't stand is messy people. Messy people are the breeding ground for trouble. They love to stir strife amongst friends, back stab their own flesh and blood, rebel against pastors of churches, create lies against their bosses at work, and will do anything to seduce another person's spouse. Messy people don't care about nothing or no one else but themselves. These people are articulate in devising strategies to make another person's life a living Hades. They are the most jealous, envious, and bitter people you will ever experience in this life. They are greedy, no diplomacy, and care less about receiving the consequences for their actions. Messy people are found in (as Kev on stage would say: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnLyv1La52I - check this out, these dudes are funny!), PAW, Convocations, Superbowl parties, clubs, family reunions, pastor anniversaries, Bible studies, Walmart, Kroger, swap meets, the White House, Congress, etc. They are everywhere! Doesn't it seem sometimes these folks are found in high ranking positions in educational systems, political offices, etc.? Since they want to control the whole situation, they create policies and rules even they can't follow. Messy people are like the stench of trash that's been sitting in a house for months. No matter how much we try to cover it up and deal with the stench, it's tearing us up inside. My own experiences with messy people are pleasant. You can forget about that. Messy people care less about making amends and creating an environment of peace. They love war, they love drama, and if they can bring other people down with them at the expense of destroying another person's life including their family, so be it. Down right selfish! Sounds like the character of Satan doesn't it? Messy people love to cling or build relationships with people who are going somewhere. They love to hear people with wells of wisdom and a lot of times deep pockets; people of great potential. However, the demons inside of these people (that's right I said demons) wait for these people to get to a low spot or difficult time in their lives. That's when they spill the beans of what they are feeling about certain things and they store every word in their brain. Then, they gossip to other people, mostly, people who are weak and love too much that they condone (overlook) mess when it comes. Then these words they've twisted is spreading like wildfire and the person who poured out their heart to the messy person is perceived as a "derelict." Messy people are busybodies and ain't got nothing else to do but to create messy. It's sad but that's how messy people operate. Messy people love to be the center of attention. If they have to act depressed so the world stops and caters to their needs, they'll act depressed. If they are seeking a one night stand or short nothing but sexual favors relationship, they wear the type of clothes, fragrance, and vibe to accentuate their "gifts." If they want something or someone not theirs or something they can't handle, they'll cheat their way to get it. Messy people, in my opinion, are some of the saddest people in the world. All they do is create chaos. The Apostle Paul dealt with messy people by the names of Hymenaeus and Alexander. At this time or another, Paul was excelling in ministry, gathering with his conglomerates many souls for God's kingdom. He told his student Timothy to hold the faith of Christ with a pure conscience because there were some who didn't and shipwrecked their faith (1st Timothy 1:19). These were Hymenaeus and Alexander and Paul had to confront these messy people. Just to paint a picture, these two guys joined together to take down the weak and whoever else they could trick to revolt against Paul's purpose. They were probably spreading lies and probably hiring some women to seduce him so that he would be a contradiction of all he taught. But Paul said he had to give these dudes over to Satan so they would learn not to blaspheme against God's will (1st Timothy 1:20). Sometimes in life, it's not conducive for us to talk to these messy people. We've got to learn to pray for them and let them fall into a ditch. I've seen a lot of messy people including myself (because I've been messy, ask my friends from the Army) create so much mess they were utterly destroyed by it. My friends, learn to spot messy people from a distance. Learn to love them from a distance or as my beautiful wife Dionn would say, feed them with a long handed spoon. Avoid them (if you can). Learn to "befriend" them but don't take them as best friends. Learn how they live and think. Most importantly, pray for them that God would open their eyes to realize being messy is whack and that they need to change before it's too late. Understand? I'm done.
Til next time, dgwo.
