Worth Dying For

Love your fellow warrior
For you both are fighting
Battles beyond the scope of understanding
For our understanding is so little
Yet when you look into the eyes of your fellow
You can see the flames of the battlefield
The melancholy of their lost friends
The mourning of their heart
The depth of their pain
And their open wounds
See this and never hate anyone again.
For every one is your fellow soldier
On the battlefield of the world
Yet we fight on for the knowledge that there is still good left
And that good is worth fighting for. Worth dying for.
As our Lord came down to dwell among us
He too saw a good worth dying for.
If our very own beloved Lord did such a noble thing as to fight our fight and die for the sake of all humanity then know
That deep in the soul of your fellow people
Your very own neighbor who passes by on the street
They too, deep inside, remember that battle.
The hope and the light that Jesus saw
We have it inside us. It’s our willpower.
It’s what drives us and propels us through each day and pulls us out of bed each morning.
Believe there is good
And that good is God’s grace on Earth.
Fight for the hope
That one day the time will come when the trumpet blares and the war comes to an end. And we may all rest for we are free.
