There’s too much
Hate in the world,
Too much violence,
Sorrow and pain…
It has to stop!
But God’s not gonna stop it.
With respect and love for us His children
Free will He gave…
TO CHOOSE-
The choice in our hands,
To stop the madness.
Will we put
The brakes
On our own unkind,
Reckless and
Hurtful acts?
Or keep racing
Through crossroads
And intersections,
Red lights in our eyes,
Half blind?
Please stop
To “Reconsider Love,“
And I, still praying,
Without cessation
For a miracle.

This brought tears again–it’s so easy to feel defeated–“red lights in our eyes, half blind”…. I was reading multiple Psalms in The Message version today–if you haven’t peeked in it, it’s really great for the “modern language”. I don’t remember which Psalm it was, but there was a line about a day coming when God will say “ENOUGH!” That gave me hope.
