HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE THERE ALIVE, RIGHT NOW, ON EARTH? IF WE ALL HAD A COMMON PURPOSE HOW MUCH WOULD THAT BE WORTH? WHAT GOOD COULD WE ACCOMPLISH IF FOR ONCE, WE ALL AGREED THAT GOD IS WHAT WE'RE MISSING AND "PRAYER" IS WHAT WE NEED? HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE THERE PICTURE EVERY NATION WITH IT'S CITIZENS OLD AND YOUNG KNEELING TO ASK FORGIVENESS IN EVERY MANNER, FAITH AND TONGUE? FOR DESPITE OUR MANY DIFFERENCES OF COLOR, CREED AND PLACE... WE'RE ALL MEMBERS OF ONE FAMILY AND IT'S CALLED THE HUMAN RACE! CREATED BY AND IN THE IMAGE OF A FATHER WHO LOVES US ALL AND LONGS TO SEE HIS CHILDREN JOIN TO TEAR DOWN HATRED'S WALL! IMAGINE THE JOY AND CELEBRATION THERE'D BE IN HEAVEN UP ABOVE ONCE WE ALL MANAGE FIGURE OUT HOW TO LIVE IN PEACE, WITH LOVE! THEN THE FATHER COULD LOOK DOWN AND BE SO PLEASED TO FINALLY SEE ALL THE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM LIVING LIFE AS IT SHOULD BE!! CONVINCED IT COULDN'T HAPPEN? JUST A POET'S CASTLE IN THE AIR? MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF SIMPLE PRAYER! FOR I BELIEVE IT CAN AND WILL OCCUR THIS MIRACLE WILL COME TO PASS... AS MORE AND MORE SOULS EVERY DAY EACH BOW THEIR HEADS TO ASK... ONE DAY SOON, THEY'LL TIP THE BALANCE WE BELIEVERS WILL PERSEVERE FOR ONCE THOSE PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED MANKIND'S FUTURE WILL BE CLEAR!! THE EARTH ITSELF WILL BE TRANSFIGURED BACK TO IT'S SPLENDID, GLORIOUS PAST TO BE ENJOYED BY ALL GOD'S CHILDREN A HAVEN OF JOY AND PEACE AT LAST! DUSTY RICHARDSON 2007 |
