It's
interesting to note that while growing up in Poland we couldn't really mention “God” in public. It was acceptable at the churches
and around the Holidays like Christmas, Easter and 3 Kings. For most
of the year it was discouraged, by teachers and your neighbors.
I
was very much a child of a communist system, because I didn't really believed in God due to the surroundings and emphasis on the
power of the government. I did question however in my mind the legitimacy of
that ideology.
America
was always a beacon of hope for many Polish people and for those
around the world who desire freedom and love expressing their love to
God, and worship as they wish.
After
finding mine true path to my God and relying on the power of the Holy
Spirit. I started to see that my America covered that beacon of hope
and pushed God away.
I
see that our Father in Heaven is trying to wake us and giving us
warnings, but we keep saying that we are good. That we need to be
more conscientious of our planet. I believe that our planet Earth is
a life and we should be good to it. But I also believe that the
scriptures are true and our Father in Heaven is using the power of
Earth to shake and wake us. Bruce R. McConkie in The Millennial
Messiah. Pg. 449 - Pg. 450 said this;
"The
very fact that men refuse to believe the many signs of the times is
itself one of the signs promised to precede the advent of our Lord.
….. And how many there are, like the Jews of old, who fail to
discern the signs of the times!…..as it was in the days of Noah, so
it shall be also at the coming of the Son of Man "
You
have to be blind not to see that we are living in time of secret
combinations, greed, envy, hunger for power and so many more. The
most important thing is not to loose focus and remember who is in
control. Neal A. Maxwell. For the Power is in Them. p.20 said best;
"Our
task is to react and to notice without overreacting, to let life go
forward without slipping into the heedlessness of those in the days
of Noah. ….. To ponder signs without becoming paranoid, to be aware
without frantically matching current events with expectations, using
energy that should be spent in other ways--these are our tasks."Even though I know all that, it is sad how much America is loosing of that glow. How much our government is turning away from the principles we treasured for so long. Both parties are guilty and so are we. For letting things slide, because we didn't care to be involved.
