It is one thing to see and eagerly point out the flaws and blatant errors of the current administration. Easy! They’re everywhere! I believe the majority of Americans see, although perhaps not … everything, but certainly enough to know we have changed course, and it doesn’t seem to be for the better! People are angry, frustrated, and scared! That’s NOT advantageous to the pursuit of happiness!
What are you willing to die for …
to LIVE for?
The Great War & WWII were fought on foreign soil (mostly) for what? What was the objective(s)?
Prior to these WORLD WARS, our involvement in conflict focused on the establishment and protection of … America, of Our Land. In none of these instances was HATE a driving force for our involvement. Now, however, hate is spreading like wild fire, not only in our own nation, but around the increasingly chaotic globe. WHY?
Why does hate thrive? Because LOVE has not risen to the task … yet! Because FEAR rules. Isn’t that what terrorism is? FEAR!!!!! Our Seniors tremble in fear that their Social Security Checks and Medicare benefits may be slashed. Our young people fear the gathering darkness on the horizon, even though they do not understand the enormity of it. And those of us who know, those of us who have lived long enough to gain an ounce to two of wisdom are silent. We’re too busy with our lives. We don’t want to get involved. We are hurting, too! Or … It’s not really as bad as all that! Ha! We’ve waited long enough for a leader to rise up and take charge! It’s OUR turn!
For such a time as this, we have been empowered!
For such a time as this, we have been equipped!
We know the TRUTH, We have a LIGHT, We’ve seen God’s hand
For such a time as this we’ve been prepared!
The evil tide is rising, the swell, it floods the earth,
While good’s called bad and darkness, light,
With none to show the way.
For such a time as this, we have been empowered!
For such a time as this, we have been equipped!
We know the TRUTH, We have a LIGHT, We’ve seen God’s hand
For such a time as this we’ve been prepared!
There is no fear in love.
But perfect love drives out fear,
because fear has to do with punishment.
The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
1 John 4:18
It has never been about the group. It’s about YOU and ME! It’s about the INDIVIDUAL! Each of us must choose. Each of us must decide NOT to be afraid. Each of us must define our beliefs and take a loving stand. We can’t trust big business, right? We can’t trust, the banks? We can’t trust our political leaders? We can’t trust the Courts … or the Media??? It is up to YOU and ME to take back our nation. It is up to YOU and ME to choose the HIGH Road and out of compassion, respect our differences. It is up to YOU and ME to determine what kind of America we leave for our children and our grandchildren! It is OUR RESPONSIBILITY!!!!! No one else’s! SO what will it be …
LIFE or death?
LOVE or hatred?
FAITH or fear?
It’s time to decide … NOW! Decide how YOU want to live out your days, and start working it out. If we each do our part, we can redeem our nation from the encroaching evil, but not with hate! Hate kills; love builds!
