FONDLY DO WE HOPE!
"Fondly do we hope-fervently do we pray-that this mighty scourage of war may speedily pass away.Yet,if God wills that it continue...until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn of the sword...so still it must be said,,"The judgements of the Lord are true and righteous altogether."
"With malice towards none with charity for all,with firmness in the right,as God gives us to see the right,let us strive on to finish the work we are in,to bind up the nations wounds,to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphans-to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."
President Abraham Lincoln-2nd inauguration-March 4,1865.
My Prayer-Fondly do we hope,fervently do we pray that the scourage of hate and division and conspiracy upon one another will speedily pass away.If it must continue to be it is because God was pushed away."The judgements of the Lord are true and righteous together."We must always find malice towards none with charity for all.To keep working binding up our wounds so that we all can achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace.And to remember Him who it is by His grace we go.
