A brighter tomorrow? "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." NIV John 4:24 Christ was crucified And Socrates drank poison When they shared the truth Why does evil rule the day? Will we know truth tomorrow? A brighter tomorrow?

 (sigh) Oh Newell, it too saddens me all the time to see evil and pain fill the world and hurt the hearts of many, but I believe deep down as long as can all open our hearts to Him, we will find harmony and share it with everyone! (big hugggssssss) This is a very touching tanka, sweet friend, we all love you so much!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Very nicely done, Newell. I have come to the conclusion that it is necessary for evil to exist in the world....  otherwise, we would never be able to appreciate the good things which we are offered in our lives!  copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

Yes, Lyra, as long as man is weak, he must be strengthened by way of experience. And I believe that every thing that we call evil has a corresponding good. We just often don't know about it. Love wouldn't mean anything if it could not equalize suffering of some kind. I believe that like Newton's laws of the conservation of mass and energy, all good and evil balance into unity in God's beautiful Creation. Just a thought. Thanks for reading and commenting.

I believe there is good in everyone...even God would forgive the most horrendous sinners if the sinner is truly repentant..therefore I try not to judge, I leave that to God. |

Why is evil ruling lately? Good question. After more bad world news today, I could almost give up. But beautiful words like this give hope. Sandra |

O Sandra, never give up. Evil is not ruling the day. That is an illusion. Evil just controls most of the news and propaganda. Just look at how much love is at Passions. And sure there is some evil here, also. But by in large Love is dominant, here. I believe that every one of us should just keep shining our little love candles, and teach and help others to shine their little love candles, and then light will spread, and all of us working together will eventually choke the lies of the evil ones. Look at how much love flowed across our land after September 11. Keep the faith, Sandra. Love will conquer all hate. I'm sure of it! Thank you for being a little candle to me.

Thank you, Karen. And I think that you are the dearest of women. You are very, very special to me, you know. I look for you all around the heavens, as I know you're up there somewhere. Maybe some day we'll meet and set of a meteor shower or two, LOL... ((Karen)) -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |
