The Rift by LBW

I see you over there looking at me with that look on your face
How could you ever sit so pretty after you did such disgrace

I loved you and you hurt me with your words and actions
Its all your fault and its your job to pick up the pieces of my broken heart

Don’t be confused by my stone cold eyes that glare at you from across the room
I’m only looking at you this way because you are looking at me that way

Tears fall from my face because I pray for the day that this ends
I want things back to what they were before we got this way

Before our words turned into daggers and our hearts turned black towards each other
Before our backs knew each other better than our faces know now

My pride wont subside and I wont give in and let this pass
You owe me this and I will wait until you do right by me

I am willing to watch our relationship rip at the seams and rip to shreads
I will take a knife and cut at each fiber if it means getting even.

I love you, but you seem to have forgot that. I’m surprised you havent checked
If I didn’t I wouldn’t be so upset. If you only knew behind the heartbeats in my chest

I would do what it took to make this right if I only knew you were with me
If I was sure you weren’t against me. I would not hesitate to fix this

The Power of Love within Family by LBW

Family is the most powerful institution in the world. The family is where life begins, wealth is, strength is, and love should always be. By definition a family is a group of people who are related by birth, marriage, or adoption. God above all else leads the family of the righteous and Jesus’ greatest commandment is to love. Love is an act and requires the right energy and intent. Love is meant to be shown at all times even when it is hard to do. When it is applied the results provide restoration in times of hardship or disagreement. So if the most powerful institution in the world looses one of its most important attribute, it is compromised. In this case if something causes a rift in the family and it is not properly addressed in love it spreads like a cancer of hate until it is unbearable by all who are connected. If there is no restoration the lack of love can cause systematic failure causing separation, sickness and other undesired outcomes. The devil loves this and loves to divide Gods people whenever the opportunity presents itself. This is to say quite frankly that this is the year that we take our families back. This is the time to put our faith into action. It is time to decrease ourselves so that God can increase in our lives. What ever the situation ask God to take control. Ask him to remove anything from our hearts that is unlike him and to live in us and through us. If God is love and he is in us we have the ability to Love the right way all the time.
