JUSTICE...GOD SPEAKS THROUGH OUR ACTIONS

Release all bitterness. Hold only love, only peace in your heart, knowing that the battle of good to overcome evil is already won. Choose confrontation wisely, but when it is your time don’t be afraid to stand up, speak up, and speak out against injustice. -- The civil rights leader John Lewis (1940–2020)

My question to me and thee: Why, when we had the likes of John Lewis walking amongst us, would...and did...we choose the likes of Donald Trump to lead us? 

We can ponder that question, but we must face the fact...accept...we chose what we chose, we got what we got. 

Now we need to change, and the lightbulb of enlightenment flashes: All we need change is our mind. From way too much experience, we have learned that in the end minds are not changed by a self-determined objective, want to or not.

Only by trust in God, knowing that the battle of good to overcome evil is already won, can and do we walk free. We find that it is the time between our knowing better and our doing better that when wrong (not if), promptly admit it, saves us. 

Now, it is our time. We fear not for we are guided by a Power greater than ourself which enables us to choose wisely...and change!

If our answer does not begin with finding peace within toward Trump, et al. (particularly et al., for only they will ever be with us), know this: We are still following self and no matter how righteous the appearance, we are flat out going down that wrong road again. Change!

Our heart, mind, need are one'd. We follow John Lewis, and those upon whose shoulders he yet stands, as he speaks to us today...when it is your time don’t be afraid to stand up, speak up, and speak out against injustice. 

Thank you.
