Precious Ability

Precious Ability The brain, the instincts, the beauty, the health, the years the courage. I thank him who "has all power" for these gifts by using them.! The compassion- the creativity- the passion- the love the wisdom. I thank him for these gifts by sharing what I have with my fellow man. All the gifts- all the attributes endowed unto me, gives me the power to act Feel, and rise to the occasion. I will not wait on god to intervene. When he has created me in his own image and has sent me equipped with the armor to battle all the causes- and wars and atrocities done against my fellow man. I have the precious ability to discern what is in front of me to do. I will not turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the misdoings -killings-and abuses; Done to any of his creations. I will not determine what god's will is..but as i know what my ears are for- and as i know what my teeth are for – I know also what he has equipped me to do - And I certainly will not ignore the truth of any matter, for to ignore the truth is pure ignorance. No more than self-deception that keeps you in a trance of untruths. Coward's waiting for God to do what he sent hue-mans to do..when ever my creator see's me slipping this question enters my mind, and I paraphrase "how can you ignore your brother's suffering and say you love me whom you have never seen. "Some people will give a" cripple crab a crutch" - But will not speak up against the killings of blacks, children or the needy – Or even give a "hungry human some humus". My brain, my health, my wealth, my knowledge-my courage my compassion, my passion-should all (I pray) "be used for the betterment of, and the uplifting of my fellow man. I start by looking in the closest corner to shine my light, as long as have the precious ability to do so. And when I no longer can do my part, I pray that I have given someone the "precious ability" to carry on...to carry on.
