The Lion Inside of You

   There is a lion inside each of us. My lion hates liars! My lion roars and flashes his teeth at those who live to lie. Their whole being is a slander, they communicate with a wink and a nod. Do they not understand that a little light illuminates the room? As it is, people fear the light, they feel safer in the shadows, in the light all their flaws are seen, their actual selves are exposed, they are as if they stand naked for all to see, and so they choose to linger in the shadows. But you have been made in His image, created as intelligent beings, with lives of purpose and understanding, not of the mindless paths that we claim as our own. 

  America, you can no longer enjoy the luxury of apathy. We have hit the end of the road partner, there is nothing ahead except the darkness, we must turn one way or the other. They speak openly now of killing children. Openly as if it were only a subject of politics, they speak with a callous disregard for the yet to be born, by far the most fragile of children. Infants, babies yet to take a first breath of life. Not long ago, on an ocean beach near me, there was a great drama had unfolded. followed closely by the local news and even picked up nationally for a day. A mother whale had beached herself and she was pregnant and dying. But the unborn calf was still alive and so a great effort was made to save the baby. They worked into the night, but the baby whale died. By now a huge crowd had gathered to watch this real life drama unfold. When the calf died, many in the crowd cried, some wailing bitterly. 

  In reality, many of these same people so upset with the death of an animal, spoke of unborn children with a callousness and an apparent lack of concern when it came to human life. A child eliminated from their chance for life because it was inconvenient for one reason or another. What's even more amazing is that this issue will be the single issue reason that will decide their vote. In truth at it's core, it really isn't a difficult choice, because at its core, it is either a choice for death or a choice for life. 

  Understand that these choices ahead of us far exceed politics. They are on a higher scale, for it is a spiritual decision which is also at stake. What kind of nation do we choose to be, You see, life and death is a stark difference and easy to distinguish. But understand this, there is a spiritual decision that will also be made. God is many things, and one of them is Life. If we as a nation choose death over life, that will be the final nail in our coffin. By choosing life you choose God, choose death, and choose evil. make no mistake America, you will reap what you sow.
