Oy Vey

It took GOD to create man

It took a man to make a woman

It took a woman to birth a King

And it will take that King
to fix the mess...





Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
Maranatha!

Oy vey! Had to check that and it is well chosen no doubt.

Dear JL, great to see you again on here and with a thought provoking  poem in the form of a globe ... our Earth I see.

You are right ... if we bear in mind and heart the teachings of that KING and act consequently, change will be possible. May He indeed inspire our hearts to be able to LOVE, in the way He told us.

Enjoyed your declaration of hope in His intervention to stop people from destroying His creation.

Peace and Light.

True enough.
Good written expression of the only answer.

true love never looks after it's own interests

Hi JL.  I'm sure that King must regret the day he gave us free will but perhaps it was necessary so that by our actions we may be known.

Honeybunch:

I wasn’t trying to say anxious men and women, but a plan from the very beginning:

KJV
(Genesis 3:14-16) "And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: {15} And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. {16} Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."
The King of kings knew exactly what He was doing, unlike us, He is merciful.

We just can't seem to get it right.
Mercy first then justice, there is no justice without mercy.


Thank you, my friend.
