The United States of a House Divided

During the course of American history there have always existed great divides amongst the people who make up this nation. In days past our divides have gotten so rotten and ugly that we went to war with each other over them. That war cost more American lives than every other war we have ever fought, all put together. It is simply horrifying that we have made it through dark divides such as the Civil War, and stand today as divided as we have ever been. We have become the ultimate example of human kind's ability to put worth in things we create and not things that God creates. The 'haves' of this nation have in such excess that even Roman Senators would be envious, and that is just the way we like it. Those in this nation who have are disconnected with the other ninety nine percent, and this divide will be our undoing. It is comfort before compassion. It is choosing the wealth of a man before the health of many men. It is a sense of greatness when the least of us suffer greatly. We stand as a nation divided, and what a fierce journey it will be to climb, scale, and endure the mountainous piles of money we must pass through to become reunited. It is fearsome to think at this point what it will take to open the eyes of those who have been handed the keys to the Kingdom, and yet horde their possessions for a storage room in hell. We have forgotten our grace, and in so doing, set a curse upon ourselves. So it is like Christ said, "those who already have will be given even more, and those who have nothing will lose what left they had." We are a United States in a state of disunion. The middle ground has eluded us, and we have strayed left and right until the middle has become lost to us. So it is that a great nation wonders in the wilderness where a level surface cannot be found. No even ground to speak upon and so we go. Those in this nation who truly know the Father, and whom the Father truly knows; are the only ones capable of meeting in the middle, for they have met in the middle since the beginning of the ages. It can only be prayed that these Children of Light rise to the uneven surface we have created and restore balance to our nation now divided.
