WE GOT WORK TO DO!
Looking at the state of affairs in this country, it's quite apparent we are set back fifty years! Listen to the conversations, some whispered because they're exposing their most inner thoughts and beliefs. If this were not so, we wouldn't be in an "Eye for an eye" mentality. If we continue on this path, this country will be blind and who then will lead the world?
The thought of us being able to work this out just seems impossible. "It's gone too deep", you say, "irreconcilable!" You are disheartened and feel lost. You ask "why does this continue to happen?" You go to God for answers but don't stay to listen for his answer. Instead you choose to live in fear because you lost total faith in man and so have lost total faith in God.
How will anything change if you don't believe it's possible? Your faith in God is precisely what it takes for change to happen. Its ONLY by letting go of the pain, hurt, disappointment, resentment, anger, revenge, etc., is when PEACE will be amongst us.
It may seem like a task too big to accomplish however that very way of thinking is what needs to change. Choose to place those thoughts in God's hands and trust that by doing so, he'll exchange them for Peace. Understand, you MUST let go of the pain in order to get Peace - you can not have both simultaneously.
The work is not as difficult as you think it is, in fact its quite simple - just put it down. You're afraid if you let go you'll forget. You certainly wont let that happen because then its likely to happen again, as if remembering would stop it from happening again. The ONLY thing that prevents pain and suffering is YOU! God doesn't cause pain or suffering. The fact that you think He does is what keeps you from trusting him with every single detail of your life, as if he's not the one in control of every detail of your life - how arrogant.
The only work you're required to do is stay present in your mind. Its quite a task for those that think they'll accomplish it on their own. Please do not waste time battling every thought in your mind, you'll end up losing it and that's what we're trying to avoid! Acting out those thoughts are what got us exactly where we are today.
Your work is to give over to God every feeling/thought of panic, anxiety, despair, anger, hurt, etc., and you'll not only immediately begin to feel lighter, you'll begin to see things change for the better because that is the ONLY way we'll ever have peace of mind. Teach this because you know its true and you'll see those around you change too. You have to be peace to teach peace and that alone comes from God, there is no other way to get it so get to work!
