I can only discern evil by what You call evil, Lord. Those who hate You and will not turn from their wicked ways are under your wrath still. Everything serves You. All of nature serves You. I can hardly write about it. Isa. 13-24. Evil pride will be destroyed.
My God, You know man's heart. It's not a case of judging politically or emotionally. The case is, do we follow You, believe you, obey you? Make you our life and put ourselves under your protection? You are the King of all. We who choose you do not live under a democracy. I give all my rights to You, Who loves me.
I can only discern good my what You call good. Do I believe that is what you require of me? I have come from You and will return to You. This world is not my home. That's the problem. I've thought of it as my home. It's transient.
You will give us a new heaven and earth! This one we have destroyed with our disobedience and sin. Lust, hate, greed, lack of honor. Thank you for Jesus! There is no way we could make up for our willfulness. Your ways are not our ways. You have a plan--not to harm us, but give to us a hope and a future. Forgive, Father, for we know not what we do. Grace! Thank You for Grace!
In His love, a work in progress
