At 80 years of age, I can definitely declare...the world has drastically changed! And though there has been tremendous technological advancement, it is sadly the 'Decline' in our 'Relationship with Almighty God' that has regressed the most. Our 'Value Systems' have been altered and, indeed, the world has...Fallen Spiritually... to a 'new low'. Thus, when we consider the present times, it is only through�The Unadulterated Word of God �that we receive a 'Lifting Assurance', by which we do declare with great joy; Jehovah is�closer to us�than He has ever been! Indeed, Let�s press-on!

Not seeing those high places which our ‘human sight’ erases, ‘Searching souls ’ of the world… teeter on outskirts of…damnation’s twirl. Until the day when our hearts answer…yea And to His invitation…’follow’… we’re led down corridors…ground hallow. Therein, we are…revived by Him, our vigilant guide… Directing us patiently loving us…fervently. Through desert sands… barren lands… Yes, even when our hope may…limp Jehovah’s urgings will…yet, primp. Rough seas tears or glee… Donning forlorn or peace… band His…joy…does tirelessly span. We are kept, with less floundering, more…adept Having our...Faith…refined in these…Fallen Times 1Peter 1:3-5 ©jmsbell- 12/4/24

As time progress, things change. Nothing ever seems to stay the same. Life goes on ay an uneven pace; we try to adapt to new ideas and concepts. That is not easy to do sometimes/ I sincerely wish we could go back to some of the tranquil times of yesterday! PRAYERS AND HELP FROM OUR Lord HELPS MANY TO GO FORWARD!!!!!

Perhaps there have been "other" fallen times, but it is "these times" that we are living in and these times that tell us that we have moved away from the more traditional and more spiritually based environment than of former timer. The journey of the soul envisioned in this poem embodies a search for purpose and renewal, emphasizing that even in hardship, there is an ever-present source of strength. Inspirational, Joyce, as always. Thank you for posting.

We all have to look back at the reality of some of the earlier times to realize that we are no more, Fallen, than we ever have been. It's just that Technology provides us with so much more information every day that we think that the world is coming apart when it is actually quite stable except for a few sore spots where old grievances never seem to get resolved.

Divine love is the core value of all God has created. Nothing else matters. We must love our fellow man and we must love and obey God and his savior son, Jesus Christ.
