Tired

I'm tired of trying to prove things people do not want to see
I'm tired of the avoidance and lack of willingness to sacrifice
I'm tired of people choosing to live in some kind of fantasy world
These serious problems can not be fixed without truth this way
But once someone told me that I can not save the world
                        How true that person was!
But, to choose to keep on blinders and to follow the lies, 
                    will keep the blindness in your eyes!
You will not truly live authentically, no matter the experience
Therefore, you will not live the genuine life granted to you
                            This is your choice, your time
No one else can make the choice for you, the road you travel
It takes inner courage and the willingness to do important work,
For the contribution to unity with love that it fully requires...
To make our existence worthwhile, in a world to be a better place!

Stephan McBride February 25, 2023 at 8:50 PM Amen, great write my friend don't allow the pressure to get to you my friend, all we can do is tell of the love, joy and peace God placed within us, So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
