Dear stubborn child

Dear Stubborn Child, When your self reliance and independent spirit fails you... When achieving your other passions leaves you wanting more... When hunger haunts you even when you're full... When your greatest wisdom lets you down... When despite your strongest efforts, you fail... When your perfect plans come crashing down and you sit among the ashes... When the fondest other loves of your life leave you broken and alone... Maybe then you'll listen to what I've said - I created you to be my companion.  So: I created you to need only me - because I already have all you could ever want I created you with a hunger for me, because I'm the One who satisfies I created you lacking in wisdom, because I already know the way to go I created you weak because I'm strong enough for both of us.

Are we awake? Do we see the hour? Ours is a nation once founded on Godly principles, ... a country who's currency even went as far as to state "In God We Trust" ... and now? Today the persecution of the truth is alive and well ... and it's quietly growing steadily stronger ... For example: a group of people in our country driven by their own unnatural and disgusting lusts has determined in their own intellect to change the definition of marriage and it's efforts are gaining momentum in the society of our nation. Sympathy is growing in American society for these people to end the "discrimination" against them. But even if in fact the definition of right and wrong and the definition of marriage are changed by men, are they truly changed before God? Do the declarations of reprobate minds have the power to change what God has already declared? Who is the judge that holds the power over life and death - man or God? Has there ever really been any questio
