Love Always Wins on November 20th, 2025

Good morning, et cetera, dear Reader, and welcome! I pray that we're all able to truly realize how miraculous just waking up every morning is, including today. 

I've been waking up hours before Dawn almost every day now for years. Sure, it has much to do with a hard-wired Circadian rhythm; maybe it's also God saying "get off your duff and pray, you're going to need it today" and He's not wrong in that case (obviously, He's literally perfect and therefore, cannot ever be wrong, about anything, but I digress). 

There are some benefits to rising this early, for me, and I'm happy to share those with you here. To me, the peace and quiet of a world still asleep creates the perfect environment for quiet time: prayer, meditation, reading and trying to grasp the treasures of the mysteries hidden in God's Word. For a person who's natural state is often agitation and tumult, the quiet start to every day is a priceless gift, affording me the opportunity to quiet myself before the Lord and hopefully get centered in preparation of whatever's to come my way that day. But it's like the manna that fell from Heaven to feed the Israelites during their forty years of wandering in the desert in that the grace is only for that day; I cannot 'store up extra' and hope for it to work for me tomorrow; that's not how this works, at least not for me (though things may be very different for you, and that's okay, too).

One of my new friends, who is already near and dear to me, you might be surprised to learn, dear Reader, is very (politically and otherwise) liberal, in contrast to my apparent conservatism. But here's the beauty of it, that she and I are able to dovetail our beliefs by finding commonalities, rather than demanding of each other to change. It's a beautiful thing and we're talking about maybe starting a podcast to show the power of unity within - not in spite of - diversity of thought. This world needs unity now more than ever before and seeking common ground by hearing each other's hearts is where that's at. We all have so much more in common than the worldly 'powers that be' want us to realize; division is what keeps them easily in power as they use us to destroy each other and ourselves while 'they' merely have to sit back and watch the show. IF we allow it, that is. 

The good news is that we don't have to just allow it to happen; after all, their manufactured division is not organic and requires our cooperation - the power IS in our own hands, but 'they' do not want us to know it.

Therefore, may I please encourage you today, dear Reader, to please try and hear the other's heart and search for the places where goals and ideals meet, rather than reasons to hate? When we do the latter, we play right into 'their' hands as puppets; when we strive for the former, God has room to work, even in and for those who do not yet believe in Him.

Love is the answer, that is all. Bless all eyes who read these words and let Love win! 💜
