Man, oh man…

Daily writing prompt
If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why?

Ahhhh, the laws of nature, the laws of Government, and yes, the laws of mankind, themselves. One might pick from any number of lists, in order to locate a law that seems in need of being changed. Would the change even remain, once enacted?

If we’ve learned anything at all regarding the law, it’s that if man is involved in it’s creation, modification, or even dissimilation… it won’t last!

After all these generations of humanity, we still struggle with racism, hate crimes, corporate greed and injustice, along with a completely inadequate educational system. Why is this still occurring? Human Nature, that’s why!

Until we learn that we never had any power in the first place, we’ll never stop making mistake after mistake after mistake!

I vote that instead of trying to find some law that we think we have the power to change, we start giving God the space to start making changes within our very hearts! Big, and very powerful changes are possible from the smallest of humble surrenders. I know who holds the power… and it’s neither you nor me, but God and God alone!

When I am weak, He is strong!

When I am lost, He makes a way!

When I am powerless, unseen, and discarded by a very broken and fallen world, He lifts me up, surrounds me, and covers me with His providence… and His Power! Since I never had the power to change the world on my own, in the first place, I never really lost anything of myself, aside from the fear, shame and self-loathing that usually comes with existence.

Since God’s the only one with any true power to change what needs changing, I choose to let Him do that which I cannot! That’s all I wish to focus on til I get home…

The law bring only death, and I’ve chosen to follow the One who gives eternal life…

 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

Let’s Break It Down…

No, I don’t mean break the law! I mean break down this wordy daily prompt question… cause I’m not sure I can even come up with a worthy answer.

If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why?

I feel like I have entered into a Dr. Seuss style inquiry… I mean, come on! Firstly, one has to consider how much power needed to even effectively attempt a change. Am I the only one to fully realize that if you were not born into the life of groomed and planned political life, there isn’t much power available left for changing anything, aside from a bad lightbulb. 

Secondly, haven’t we already learned about cause and effect, enough to understand what has to go into choosing, changing, and putting into effect, any one singular law? If we haven’t even been able to brave the idea of going back and changing our own past, for fear of how it might effect the present or even the future… why do we think it would be any easier to choose a law to overturn and rewrite for the masses? 

Thirdly, asking any one person why they would choose one thing over another, is so open to any manner of reasonings as to their motives for change. It comes down to the individuals perspective, sometimes healthy and sound, while at other times very judgmental and destructive. If the saying goes that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then it stands to reason that so to is ugliness and self preservation. This why stuff can be a good thing when seeking understanding of something, to a point, but then can become somewhat of a slippery slope.

I am a child of God, following one set of laws… HIS! There is no need for change here, and as the bible instructs, we are to honor our Government, out of reverence for God… not man. Because of this, I find myself unable to answer the prompt with any one specific law to change. Even Thomas Jefferson was adamant about not mixing matters of Church and State. See, I don’t ONLY read the Bible!

Here, have a cookie…
