Which is Ruling within Our Hearts?

     Which is ruling within our hearts? The way of kindness or the way of cruelty? The way of violence or the way of peace? What is happening within our hearts? Is evil and death using our hearts as a gateway into our world, bring with them a pain and sorrow that the world has never known? Who are the ones that are resisting and fighting against the corruption of the heart? Money is given as the answer as the danger increases around us. Will it be that way until all of us is gone? 
     By perpetual darkness and a perpetual night we are lured into a sleep because our eyes are becoming to accustomed to the dark. What will we do when evil has complete control and says to us all, "Do as I say or die?" Where are the ones with courage? Where are the ones who will fight for what is right? Will they be overwhelmed by their fear and do as evil commands? What will we do when it all goes from bad to worse? Will we then do something before it is to late or is it already to late? Then we will all suffer from our decisions. May there still be time for us to change.
    Soldiers marching through our streets and people's fear growing out of control. What will happen, only time will tell. Have we abandon civilization? Has chaos finally taken control? Has it become to expensive even to live? Has compassion left every heart and every soul? Life matters but I fear that a lot of people would said that money matters more. There grows the darkness and the hopelessness in our world.      

I am Thankful to God Every Day

     As I live my life, I somehow have this attitude that tomorrow will be a better day and that the answers that I am seeking will be just around a corner. This is so strange because I suffer from depression and depression is mostly a feeling of hopelessness and yet I have a positive attitude that keeps me going. I keep moving forward because I have a light within me that never goes out even when I experience my darkest days. I know out of God's mercy that he put that light within me and I am thankful to him every day.
     Most of my life I have prayed to God and believed in his word. He has been very important in my life. I have try my best to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ and I have failed on many occasions but I have never given up. God has not given up on me and I will not give up on him. God has help me so many times and I am so thankful for his help.
     So today, I will say that tomorrow will be a better day and I will find my answers that I am looking for because what is the alternative, that tomorrow will be a bad day and I will never find my answers, never let that be so. Everyone of us must have some kind of hope because hope gives us a reason to live. I have spent many days battling hopelessness in my depression and I know that having hope can save your life. I am thankful to God every day for giving us the hope that we need to live on.
     "Lord, let my eyes see the things that I cannot see and to know things that I cannot understand. Let not this world overwhelm me. There is a darkness that is within this world but let me not be consume by it. Let my eyes see the hope and the light that still shines. Lord, take pity on me and guide my steps so that I do not get lost. Our days are numbered so let my days be of service to you. A lot of us are suffering so please help us to overcome our troubles. Lord Jesus, please help us to dry our tears and find the hope that we are looking for. We need you in our lives and your spirit of love within our hearts. Every day, I am thankful for what you have done and what you will do for us in our future, Amen."
