we could change

I remember when I was a boy I used to go to music class. There were about 50 students in that room. For an hour, we used to sing songs. We use to sing America the beautiful. There are some words in the song that I was thinking about that inspired me to write this. Those words are, “god shed his grace on thee.” I wonder if the song was saying that god would shed his grace on America as a country, or was the song saying that god shed his grace with each American individual. I think this would make sense because god has a personal relationship with us individually. On our money, on our flag, and some Patriotic songs have the word God. Why can’t he be everywhere else as well? If in god we trust, and we say god bless America, why can’t we make our laws like he wants them to be and not like we want them. I think if we do what he says, he will bless us more. We would not be worrying about how we are going to do this and do that. The bible teaches us that we can’t be with Satan and with god. Here are the two verses. Matthew 6 24 and 25: 24No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve
God and mammon.

25Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not
The life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

As Christians, we should stop doing what god does not like. I know that it has been very hard for me; however, I know that I will overcome the obstacles that are keeping me from Jehovah! Yes, I do believe that people are going to hate us if the country starts moving this way, but is it more important to please the people or please god? If we are with god, nothing will bring us down. He will protect us all, and he will get us back up. Taking small steps is the key to find hope for today and for the future.
We also used to say in school, “we are the children of America. We are the future of this great country.” My question is: are we living up to that? Or, is it only a dream. A hope that is still far away. Could it be an illusion? I think it is not. I think we could go back to those days where the US was strong. I think that we could still teach our kids that fornication, steeling, violets, drug use, envy, and selfishness are evil. I think that it is not too late to teach adults that they all have a child inside. I think that it is not too late to teach each person that they do not need the bad things that are on TV, the radio, billboards, magazines, the internet, and in other places. If others were able to survive before these commodities were made, so can us. just like a person missed drinking after entering rehab, We will miss some if not all, of the things that are harming us today.. Also, just like he or she was able to stop, so will we.
All of the bad things that we do today, only bring us joy and satisfaction temporarily. Then, we want more and more. Unlike food, we cannot satiate are carnal desires. If we have trust in Jesus, we will have peace. Those desires and evil thoughts just like the gas in a soda, will dissipate. All of the things that seem opaque will soon be bright. If we want peace, love, and harmony, we need to change. If we want: hate, discrimination, racism, poverty, injustice, and war to end, we need to stop creating it. Brothers and sisters, united we stand.
It is one thing to here the good things that the future holds for us, but if we don’t act, words are only that.
