Lord, if this is my judgement day, then let it be known that I have trudged throught the trenches of your battleground. I have believed in You and mankind and it was not You that let me down.
Many things I have seen, many things I have felt...the beauty of nature, the content of love, the miracles of life, tragedies of death, disunity, poverty, hatred...war.
What has mankind done to his precious gift of life?
He has transformed it into shreds of disarray...replaced love with hate and peace with war. There are threads of hope, but they are not unified. Solitary. Fragments of a piece of mind that should be shared throughout creation> it can be rectified, renewed. There can be found an equilibrium that will bring with it peace and goodwill for all humanity. But it cannot be achieved by individualism.
Lord, You gave us life, You gave us the beautiful earth which we alone have tarnished. But I have hope. I am a diligent soldier on the war-torn fields of life. I accept my presence and search for a purpose in life that will fulfill me and bring new light into this darkened world. I pledge for peace, unity and happiness. I do not represent perfection, only the determination to attain it, to some degree, in sync with all mankind.
What I fear is not death, for it is not the end of being, but merely a passover into a new life where I can sit beside my Father and be free from pain. I fear the anguish of those who are left behind to struggle onward and experience great pain in the absence of loved ones.
Life is a grave challenge at times, but the battle is worth the outcome when I know that I can be with You and loved ones who You have called upon before me.
So, Lord, if this is my judgement day, then let it be known.
