I was raised a Roman Catholic Italian American, and like it or not, that is where I got my VALUES, VIRTUES, and VICES...
At least, that is where the seeds were planted that helped shape who I am today and how I’ve become who I am...!!!
That is certainly not to blame my parents and grandparents...they gave me the best they had to give...
As I learned later, it was up to me to exert my own FREE WILL to make the choices necessary to follow the path THE LORD had laid out for me...!!!
Enough about me, though, what is really a burden on my heart I wish to share with you...
Taught to respect my elders and those in authority, I soon came to see that SOME AUTHORITY GOES AGAINST MY RELIGIOUS PRINCIPLES...This caused much soul searching and inner reflection...Do I obey civil authority as I was taught, especially when it requires a compromise of my values, or do I follow my conscience and follow the principles of my faith...???
The answer should be self evident...’If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always, the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot accept, because it neither sees nor knows it. But you know it, because it remains with you, and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.’ John 14:15-18
You may be asking, “What does all this have to say about ‘WHAT WE NEED MOST’, the title of this post”...???
If I were the President I would act in the heart and mind of former Godly leaders in our Nation’s history who called for a NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER to ask God to heal our land according to His promise in...
2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
If we were to do that, then we would see healing come to our nation, and then we would know THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH WOULD SET US FREE...!!!
THAT IS WHAT WE NEED MOST...!!!
HAVE A BLESSED AND HAPPY WEEKEND...!!!
