I was watching a church service on Sunday while waiting for our church service to start. I almost began to cry as I watched the preacher declare God's anger with us is being manifested through the calamities we are undergoing. There is no answer to this presentation, the preacher himself said that we had to stop sinning to stop the calamities, and God would keep them coming. Heavenly Father might be sad as He sees so many of His children stray from the path He has laid out. He, in turn, is sadder even still, when those who are following His path are harmed because of other's actions. I see politicians, media, and people in general make decisions that affect others in a detrimental way, or are in direct conflict with divine ways; and I make it through knowing that they will be held accountable for their actions, and for the harm they did to others through those actions. It is sometimes the only thing that gets me through. We have two different viruses coursing through the world today, both are unseen; both are devastating. One has yet to be determined if it was intentional or truly an accident, but it has wrought havoc among the countries of the world and sent economies spiraling. Some feel the public has been lied to, and that nefarious actors have created cruel intent. If this is so, it wasn't out of God's anger towards us, it was through the actions of those people, and they will be held accountable for it in God's time. The second virus is the virus of hatred, I don't want to use the 'r' word because it is overused. It is what it is, hatred. Again, God is not angry at us and is creating riots; He hurts as He sees the hatred and violence. That is people, people making their own choices to be instead of trying to be a part of the solution. And, I do feel we are further along than some believe, Lil' Wayne said that he, personally, has never been discriminated against, so this is a world to which he is not familiar. That's a bold statement. We have made strides. We can and will make more. And, Heavenly Father is pleased when this happens; He is saddened when people make harsh judgments based on hatred. Keep this in mind, Heavenly Father is NOT making anyone act because of His anger. He does not stay the hand of the person with evil intent. He comforts the heart of the person that is the victim of evil intent, if they allow it. Blessings from Heaven may come by way of a person calling at just the right moment, of someone being prompted to turn left instead of right on their familiar way to work. Many people on Sept. 11, 2001, were delayed by various reasons in their usual work day. Two FedEx drivers were stuck in traffic and didn't make it to the Trade Centers for their routes, packages were not going to arrive before 10, but the drivers' lives were spared. A CEO was delayed with the first day of kindergarten for one of his children, his life was spared. There were many stories as this, divine intervention, perhaps; just coincidence, perhaps. God's wrath has been few. However, cursings as a result of men's own actions are many. May we strive to walk the path that Heavenly Father has set for us, so that we may understand how to truly love our fellow man.

We are all human beings and we need love, this love will help us grow to become the person that the world needs. We can always share the love that is inside of us. The love that we have is beautiful and we can never go wrong if we will just let our hearts lead the way. A path that will lead us to a new destination. This world will be better if we will just open our minds to possibilities.
