America you are tired, stop taking yourselves so seriously.
Time to just pray and serve. Make good burgers for the poor and outcast. Try to remember who you really want to be-your first love. You don’t have to be in the spotlight to do something actually important!
Just BE it America, don’t worry about the DO it part for a second. You can’t do, when you don’t know who you are. Draw in and heal. Pull back in the stripes of your tattered flag until the red turns to healing blood. Become who you really are again, the world will probably still need it, eventually.
As for now, draw within and pray to recall who you really are. And those who are still humble enough to pray, pray! God still likes you, but it’s getting frustrating for Him, and us all as well. It’s ok if you can’t lead now, if you must, then lead by healing yourself in public.
Work on Silence America. That’s not an easy task for your personality, i understand.
Work on entering Wisdom’s quietness. Work on pausing before you speak. Work on only moving in Love’s tones. Work on not reacting to the instant news. While your leadership pulpit sinks, let your latter words be spoken in humility and kindness–let the best of your heart shine as you go down willingly. Let your inner conversion become your story, while the cameras are still rolling friend. Be happy to decrease if He increases. Try to be a John the Baptist if you still have in you!
I don’t know why the world followed a teenager, maybe you had to parent too soon. Sorry, but you still have a role to play–how about clapping for other nations who are now doing it better, and sitting on the back row, until you have a more fully formed word in your heart.
America, i still love you, you were a great idea, despite your current performance. Your heart is still pumping, but your mind needs to humble into Wisdom’s rhythms, the child must respect the parent. The parts which constantly react, must come into the garden, before moving in action. Your flag is over-extended. It has been for years. He will reel it down and heal the tatters, if you go low. You are entering amnesia as your parents did, humble yourselves enough, and you will recall your story again. The Narrator is still speaking over you, but your streets are becoming schizophrenic. And…
Watch your comedians, they are telling more of the truth now. At least they are trying to speak well. God still loves you, but you are currently rudderless friend. A good leader knows when to step off the stage, and let others guide, until they are centered again. America, you are not centered. Work on being a monk for awhile until you remember your deeper self. Your desire to love, serve and care for the oppressed is still in there, but you need to sit with yourself and your God for a while.
And other nations, stop looking to her for leadership for a while, she’s in spiritual therapy for few seasons. Maybe that will give you room to seek something Higher than America as your Ultimate. And please pray for her-she’s a bloody mess.
And America, I still love you. But you have to get over yourself to become yourself again now! And by the way, I’m still enamored and in love with you- lovely bright hopeful, good soiled, inventive, golden freedom dreamer friend!
