Get up off of our knees...

Government and AccountabilityInspirationMusic
Written By Melissa Rooney

I think about the horrible division, greed and just plain hatred boiling in our collective consciousness right now and remember it's been simmering throughout history and will simmer again. Then I come across the video below. "Open your eyes to my heart, Lord" the song repeats. I think God knows our hearts all too well and that he is desperately trying to open our eyes to His. Shoot, He is holding our eyes open with toothpicks, so that we cannot look away. Tears. Today is going to be a sad day.
