Bringing in old writings of mine - Changing the World

*These have some worthwhile value, but they have been written over a period of several years*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We cannot change the world if we cannot change ourselves. We do not have the strength to change ourselves. God is the only one with the strength, and we must bow to him in servitude. He is THE light, THE way, THE truth. THE alpha, THE omega, THE man. God gave us this world to rule for Him, and we have made a mess of it. Where did our concern for life go? It went with Roe-vs-Wade and many other such rulings. Where did our ability to effect positive change go? It went with prayer...right out of schools and courts. Where did our self respect go? It went with the coming of television and "model" people. Where did we go wrong? In the garden. The final question comes...How do we fix this? We pray and fast over this world. We seek not our will, but Gods, not our glory, but His. We choose God, not the world. This will cause us problems on this earthly plane, but we overcome and complete the race, eventually coming face to face with Christ, where we will gain our reward.

In the end, I fell asleep, after reading several chapters. The calming presence of God surrounding me as I slept, warming me and protecting me from the dreams this world brings.
