Does my failure mean that I am doom, no of course not.
Does it mean that I am lost in the very next life.
No it only means that I am imperfect, without hope.
Unless I allow a Loving Savior to work within me.
I shall never be perfect not here on the earth anyway.
But I shall be one day , once I receive the new body.
So yes I shall fail and yes I am not perfect here on the earth.
But this does not matter as long as I keep trying to change.
They may be small leaps but the Lord knows our hearts.
So as long as I keep trying there is still true hope for me.

If God exists
He or She knows All
Is Everywhere
And Everywhen
And lives beyond
Space and Time.
For so it is to be a God.

She is far too great
To concern herself
With this grain of sand
Lost in the vastness of our Multiverse.

Our words can’t hurt Her,
Maybe make Her smile at most,
Even as we take Her name in vain.
Our petty squabbles
Are but fights
Amongst the ants.

She Loves all Life,
Though some be sacrificed at times
For the Greater Good.

I ask you all
To open your mind
And see us through Her eyes.
She cannot want us
To martyr ourselves
Or **** those who are different
In race or creed.

She will not give us Heaven
If we sacrifice our lives
To **** Her creatures
That she made
With such magnificent grace.

Above all else She is a Loving God,
Cherishing ALL that Lives.
Forget the ancient histories
Of warring and strife.
NOW is where we are,
And now is the Time
For Love.
