Dear God,
I want You to know, we are down here trying. Hoping to make the earth You created a better place. There is still a lot of feuding and fighting going on, with both sides wishing it to stop. Powerless, they both say – up against the wall.
But still, we, as humans are trying to do better. More and more of us are now praying as a daily habit. There is a movement going on, and a voice of reason is being heard. Of course, my continuing conversation with you is notwithstanding, the words we share are etched on the rod and staff I carry. The rod is the guidance You bestow and the staff, your protection of me.
But us humans of your earth are striving to improve. There is now peace in places once unimaginable. There is an accord among the powers that says “yes, at this time, we want prosperity over greed.” We are putting in the effort to come together, and through much of it, I hear Your name being called.
We all want our children to inherit a good earth. We want them to grow and invest in their own families. Honor their children and their vows to You to do better. We are making a run towards that perfect picture. A renewed interest in a lifestyle where what matters is the family dinner table; or a true romantic courtship; or in clearly listening for and hearing Your word.
Yes, we are trying to do better. Day by day, we are coming together like a tribe. And I wanted you to know that I am devoted to building a better temple within myself every day. With Your guidance, I know I will get there.
Love, D.J.
