World Peace - Just a Little Piece

    My faith allows me a position of peace and security while living in an uncertain world; this world teaches that my desires demand fulfillment at the expense of others. Human beings refuse to seek truth, attack, brutalize, and often kill for their own causes, desire, or enjoyment, while a large audience film the event with their phones offering no benevolent help. Governmental policies seem to lean toward a fatal class system, totalitarian or a more dreadful dictatorship. 
    I want to trust and believe that the best safest position for me is just a small piece of a place in Creator's Presence. 
  • if I am a big empty building, then I will wait on the Creator to decide my purpose
  • if I am just a lumber partical, then I will wait on Creator to form me
  • if I am big, strong tree, then I will wait on Creator to decide my purpose  
  • if I am just a piece of tree or leaf, then I will wait on Creator as I provide a rest for insects or a dinner plate for birds
  • if I am a beautiful bird, then I will wait on the Creator to instruct the song
  • if I am just a piece of feather, I will wait on His breath to lead me
  • If I am a monarch butterfly, then I will wait on Creator to guide me 
  • if I am just a piece of insect, mite, then I will quietly, diligently do the work Creator has given me
  • if I am just a book, then I will wait on Creator to find my place on the shelf
  • if I am just a piece of letter, yud, then I will wait on Creator to decide where on the page I belong
    If I am not a piece of anything and being no good thing, and no place to go but upward, then, I will be at the foot of the Cross where Perfect Peace is found.
    When all is said and done, God wants nothing to make us something: Peace.
