As little children we learned to say the Pledge of Allegiance in school; we understood that our country was something to be proud of. Today as adults we cannot say that, as women are losing their rights due to a corrupted Supreme Court.
However, this world is not one in which justice reigns. That is exactly why Jesus said that His kingdom was not of this world.
It’s a fair question to ask where justice is done. As far as I can tell, the highest court of justice is love and love that is of a higher order than human love.
I have been studying truth for long enough to recognize lies when I hear them and I am no longer surprised that our government is slowly falling into the hands of autocracy.
It is time for spiritual students to recognize the true authority of the Word. We are called to come apart from the world. For me, that means to enter the silence as often as possible, for in silence we are healed.
The promises of man are broken but the promises of God are not.
It may be too late to repair the damage that Donald Trump has done to liberty in our country, but it is not too late to re-align ourselves with who we really are. We are children of God and let us not forget that.
Peace, like a pure white garment, will settle gently around our shoulders and we will enter the kingdom any time we remember who we truly are.

Thanks, Dennis. I appreciate feedback 🙂
True and very hopeful message (especially the promises of God) during these times of unrest, destruction of our democracy, and the rise of autocracy. If we find this world (as it is) unhealthy, unhopeful and not a bit welcoming, we must come apart from this world just as you wrote. We are not told this enough — we are God’s children; and God
welcomes us to enter the kingdom. Thank you for reminding us to remember!!! Peace and love to you and your readers.
It is very hard to pull ourselves away from the lies and sit with truth, but we must do it.
Beautifully written Vicki. Lies never satiate. We must never lie to ourselves about that. Even though the truth may taste bitter at times, being in our center where the uncompromising love of God resides is our true place. “The ego is impatient. It knows it’s time is limited. The spirit is patient. It knows it’s time is eternal.” ~Dolores Cannon~
Wishing you peace dear Vicki.
Yes, the truth may seem stern and uncompromising; that is how it separates the sheep from the goats!
