Going for the Gold

 

"Going for the gold," makes you think of the Olympic games, doesn't it? Yes, it does, but it can also refer to something that is a most highly desired accomplishment with reference to other aspects of life.

"Going for the gold," yep, that brings to mind a definite struggle to attain something that is not easily attained. That might be like having brotherly love exist between races of people. You might be thinking, "Now, lady, you know that is not possible! Ya' think? Well, I think it is possible. Listen to this; just because something has not been generally done does not mean that it cannot be done.

You remember that the Jews had nothing to do with the Samaritans, right? Well, JESUS stopped that when HE asked for a drink of water from one of them. Uhm, hmm. Well, I can see that you did not like that example so let me take you on a different route. Do you remember what Ezekiel was asked in the valley of dry bones?

Ezekiel 37

Son of man can these bones live?"

Y'all know the story of how the bones got to rattling and shaking and moving and lived again. Old dried dead bones!

 

Uhm, hmm, and when we read Romans 4 the latter part of  17, we see something similar for it reads:

Romans 4:17

...even God who gives life to the dead calls into being that which does not exist

And right behind that thought comes the scripture that asks if there is anything too hard for GOD. (Jeremiah 32:27)

 

Somebody said that brotherly

Love was dead in our land

That love between races could not exist

But Jesus said, "Let brotherly love continue"

So can there be love between races,

Yes, there can, even if a thing is dead

Wizened to the core

GOD's power to give life to things dead

Means that life, HE can restore.

We've already established the fact that

With nothing being too hard for HIM,

HE can call into being that which does not exist

So, is there anything too hard for HIM

No, there is not

Now fellowman, what we have to do

Is put back into hearing some words

That some of us forgot

And "Let brotherly love continue..."

So is brotherly love impossible in this land

No, it is not my friend

Because God will do what only God can

And make us mindful of our fellow man.

So, each day as I work

I go for the gold

As I live by faith in the words of God

Which have already been told.

So I walk by faith

As onward I go

With a living message that says

I have love for you, brother

Don’t you know?

And while the love that

I have for you may not be reciprocated

That's okay by me

Because I have a payday

That's already been slated

On the other side of eternity.

Can harmony between races exist, fellowman

The answer is yes because God says it can.©
