We fight over money
And over politics
We fight over passions
And over sacred sects.

We fight over language
And family affairs
We fight over illness
And burdens we all bear.

We fight over music
And a win or loss
We fight over fashion
And who should be the boss.

We fight over so much
Yet mutually we share
The feelings and emotions
When we take the chance to care.

We all have been betrayed
We all have felt pure joy
We all have had regrets
We all have felt annoyed.

We’re all created equal
And in God’s loving sight
He loves each person wholly
And hates it when we fight.


Jesus lives in my heart!  He can in yours too!!!

How often I've thought our Lord must view our fighting as childish foolishness, like   children haggling over a TV program or how long one's turn was, or?  We have so much and are all loved equally.  Using our time to encourage one another in faith,would be  so much better.

Thank you for sharing this piece.

Yes. Thank you for the last line most of all. We really have no need to fight over what things are truly important and have eternal value. Thank you for sharing. -Bob

You are soo right. I think people never outgrow being kids..only now their toys are not matchbox cars and water pistols, but weapons of mass destruction.
