Forbearance

They say “God has forsaken us just look around” Wars and storms are destroying our hometowns, They say “if there is a God why are so many in need?” People are steeling and lying with hearts overwhelmed with greed They say “It’s all Gods fault”… man takes no blame, We curse God, push him out of our lives, and then accuse him when we are put to shame, Oh blinded world filled with an abundance of vanity You speak evil of him with mouths filled with profanity Disobeying all he has commanded us to do His rules were made to keep us safe, to avoid the chaos in which we now suffer through They say “God is far and he doesn’t care” When it is our hearts that have turned from him, grown cold, brittle and bare All we have to do is repent and change our wicked ways Then in the blink of an eye he will restore us to our golden days But human pride thinks it can beat him and reason thinks it will win Read the bible, rebelliousness is how destruction all begins Society gets darker and more corrupt each and every year Many are growing hopeless and becoming overwhelmed by fear God never left us… we as a country left him God cannot bless a nation who is worshiping sin In his infinite mercy he has allowed judgment to shake up his lost sheep Those raindrops you see are his tears…yes our God does weep Wake up great nation remember why we have been incredibly blessed It’s not because we’re so brilliant it’s because our forefathers made vows to God that we would give him our best Generations are born and then they die It is our obligation to leave a legacy about our creator who is more than just a mystery hidden in the sky His eyes watch over every human, animal, insect and tree His love holds this entire world unconditionally So take some time to consider how fragile are lives really are Man can’t stop natural disasters or shootings by a mad man in a car Live each day in love, forgiveness and submission Put away idolatry, lust and religious tradition Make a decision to have a “personal” relationship with God alone And watch how life will change for you whether you’re young or already grown.
