When what would be is what should be

There is within each human heart a yearning for a fresh new start. When things would be as they should be And what is good is all we see. We wish that justice would be swift, but like a log, it often drifts and when at last it lands ashore, the outcomes leave us wanting more. We want nature to be pristine for air and water to be clean. For famines, floods, and droughts to cease and humankind to live in peace. Oh, how we wish life would be fair and everyone would have their share when few have most and many none as a condition, will be done. We wish for many happy years to live forever without tears. To never tire or get sick or ever need a walking stick. We desire child abuse to cease and love and goodwill to increase. A world where everyone is kind where life is no longer a grind. But such a world could never be while we are not what we should be. As human beings, we’re flawed within, that’s why the world is filled with sin. The world we seek will one day be when this old world from sin is free. Creator God will make things new, sinners and sin He’ll destroy too. If you want in on what would be, let God make you what you should be. When what would be, is what should be You will be there, the good you’ll see.

I agree. When we as God's children show kindness we are doing His will on earth as it is in heaven and will be when what would be is what should be.
