I went out to see if I could salvage anything but found nothing, just a few withered leaves from a long-dying tree.
So why sit here doing nothing? Let’s go fight, let’s die fighting; we’re damned if we do and damned if we don’t. We hoped things would turn out for the best but it just never happens that way. If we choose to fight then who? Perhaps the battle is between our two ears and the battleground is our wicked hearts. Scripture warns us about the treacherous nature of our hearts. Do we realize that this life is just a warm-up for the one to come?
We were waiting to be healed; now there’s nothing but terror. The ground shudders from the relentless beating of their war drums. They’re going to swallow up the whole world in some kind of slow-motion chess game. The moves are well-practiced after centuries of lost games. As usual, everything is just fodder for war.
I drown in grief, heartsick, knowing what the end will be, wondering if God will intervene or must we fall to the sword of the pagan deities. Things continue as usual, summer is over, and harvest is coming, but for us, nothing’s changed. We’re still waiting to be rescued. Things continue as usual and just a paltry few feel the raindrops falling.
I weep grief-stricken for those I love as there is nothing that can be done for those dear souls. I could weep day and night for the casualties of ignorant and evil thinking. I’d love to get away and never see the feckless faithless castaways, a congregation of degenerates by choice but then children would be left defenseless victims of progressive love. So I write words to chastise a world gone mad hoping to prick some out of their stupor.
A mighty army of liars lays another layer of propaganda on a mountainous pile of untruths. Even those you love may be suspect in the ongoing assassination of your heart. Friend against friend, brother against brother, no relief, no respite; the story of man, beginning to end.
Jesus Christ is the only Saviour of the world but more importantly our savior of our lives. I have decided to follow Jesus. Though none go with me, still I will follow, no turning back, no turning back.
Here, oh Lord if need be, I wait for you alone.
