In God We Trust
Should “In God We Trust”
remain the official motto of the USA?
Regardless of spiritual differences,
is it a true statement?
If we trusted in a Divine Source,
would we act the way we seemingly do?
Would we be in the situation
we seem to be in?
Perhaps.
Perhaps God LIKES what we’re doing.
Perhaps we are MEANT to experience
what we seem to be experiencing.
Perhaps trusting the Divine One
has NOTHING TO DO with being happy.
Nothing to do with being kind to one another.
Nothing to do with whatever happens to us.
Perhaps the Divine One
enjoys our downs as much as our ups.
God never said that there would
be a REWARD for trusting.
That’s OUR delusion.
Would we have faith otherwise?
