WE NEED YOUR LOVE


 “How often we get harmed by things we've done, as though it were ourselves that we'd destroy. So recklessly toward trouble, people run – I started, back when I was but a boy. Lord, grant your mercy, guide us every day, we human beings need your wisdom so. You really are the Truth, the Life, the Way; your Love, dear Lord, is what we need ta know.”

MAY YOU BE BLESSED INDEED

They’re maiming, Killing women, kids, and men, ‘cause some of us are scared that we might die. They’ve maimed and killed again and yet again, for many years, they’ve “had to”, that’s their lie.
When we’re not living love, what do we do? It’s then that peace and justice disappear. When we’re not working on the Savior’s crew, it’s then it seems the Lord of Love ‘s not near. So, You and I, let’s practice love today, and let’s forgive the ones at whom we’re mad. And don’t ya suppose it might be smart ta Pray? And maybe make this world a bit more glad? I wish you All the very, very best; may you have everything ya really need! May Heaven make you very, very blessed, may you be happy, well, and free, indeed!”

Please, grant that I can do a Whole lot more, and help You give us All the things we Need; but let me not my Own real needs ignore, let being Kind ta All now be my creed! Please, and thank you!”

KINDLY BRAVERY FOILS AGGRESSION

 “Our President’s a cruel man, you know. He doesn’t love the Lord, he worships wealth. At bullying and lying, he’s a pro; he doesn’t care about our planet’s health. Why aren’t we dumping Trump, I’d like ta know; what must we do ta pacify our hearts? When love comes in, the fearfulness will go, and that’s the way real revolution starts.”

JESUS CHRIST AND YOU

(an open letter to Donald Trump)

“No human being is a monster, sir, but corporations all are demons, though. The loving, happy child that you once were, now what became of him, where Did he Go? To foster death for many millions – sick. That’s what the demons want for you ta do. So why surround your heart with walls o’ brick, and never truly worship You-Know-Who?”

LORD JESUS, HELP ME LOVE

 “I’ve heard it said before, “We all are one”. Now, let’s consider That for just a while. What’s done unto a Foe, ta Christ is done – let’s rid our hearts of Everything that’s vile! When I harm Anyone, I’ve hurt myself, and when I’ve hurt my Self, I’ve harmed us All. Lord Jesus, Help me Love, above all else, Respond with love, Whenever you may call...” Please, and Thank You! Amen!

WE NEED LOVE AND TRUTH

Christ’s love can make it whole.” Don’t you agree, reader?
