It Takes

It takes a God to fully understand a God… fortunately, we are only men, and therefore simply need faith -- it takes faith to understand man, fortunately, God has given us such capacity, which we need only exercise -- It takes love if a world so deeply divided is ever to be healed Mother’s, “don’t let your children grow up to be” lawyers or politicians!

Well said, Joe. I agree. Don't let your children grow up to be lawyers or politicians. :-) On a more serious note, if we choose, we can live by faith even in a world divided by politicians.

Civilizations have often had to survive, and then come back from tyranny. A horrible truth. Faith in Jesus Christ makes that possible.

Interestingly enough, when Jews awaken every morning, the first prayer they say ends this way: 'Great is Your (G-d's) Faith!' I.e., He has returned my soul, so He must believe in me. ~ Mission Possible

Thank you, Gershon. Well, I have read the bible but in no way do I feel that I am a bible scholar. And I have study many religions but in no way consider myself a theologian. But if you say that something I have written, is in a good way biblical sense...well, then, maybe my heart was listening to the correct voice. Truth needs no further elucidation outside its presence. Blessings my friend.

Good one. It seems they are a necessary evil so to say. I like this one. We definitely can't understand God is depth is far about our depth. It is so wonderful that He loves us. Thank you for sharing this one and for dropping by my page. Sara

It takes love if a world so deeply divided is ever to be healed---love almighty will save us.

Hi Vijay -- the long-game, good always conquers evil, can been seen clearly if one measures one's own heart-progress, and remembers to look beyond the Earth-surface -- often having far less to do with the person God loves and cherishes eternally.

Only through the eyes of faith, we can see God ! Our external eyes or Science cannot behold God. God has given faith to men. But some reject it outright! Fortunate are those who can see God. "It takes love if a world so deeply divided is ever to be healed" So rightly said. Love is the link connecting all. Great thoughts dear Joe !

The Eyes of Faith, and soul saving poetry, I am certain is God's voice reaffirming His presence in the hearts and minds of His man (and woman:)) -- blessings my friend.

Hi Joe? I mean, not high! -- probably your mind more clear than most. Non Profit Money-laundries, Pay for Play Politicians -- keep the people divided, at one another's throats, keep their cities infested with crime, so they are so afraid every time they walk out the door, that the last thing on anyone's mind will be the politician picking their pockets (murdering their children with drugs), pulling all strings to retain power over the masses. The FBI by comparison makes Capone look like an Altar Boy! They could care less what we say or think -- the Real Untouchables. Blessings my friend.
