By Michael W. Raley
Evil exists in the world.
However, that is not an excuse
For it to dwell in you.
Don’t allow yourself to be manipulated
Into following the aimless herd.
You have been gifted with logic and reason.
Therefore, open up the gifts and put them to use.
Don’t join the angry mob,
But be a force for love.
Bitterness and hate are the caustic acids
Which will eat away at even the most docile soul,
Only to leave you in the pit of despair and regret.
Your time is limited and may run out any day,
So why choose to live in constant anger and seething rage?
Be a force for love.
We are all God’s children
And we must embrace every brother and every sister
Who comes our way each and every day.
The earth will remain,
But we will soon be gone.
Keep this thought in mind
In all you say, do, and think.
Go and live in peace.
Be a force for love.
Triumphant In Christ
