It vexes my soul. It makes my soul heavy, there should be rest in my house, but when I go away, I don't return to rest. I return to tension, strife, bickering, complaining, rebellion, AND NO PEACE!!! IN MY OWN HOUSEHOLD!!!

Children can have peace, because they are not so caught up in the cares of this world. They are free to live, free to love, free from doubt and worry. Why can't there be rest in my VERY OWN HOUSE! Why can't I return to a house where EVERYONE is caring, loving, ready to help each other, not to burden one another, not to stir up one another to envy or hate. Why can't we have also, the patience of Love? Is it so hard? Is it so hard to judge yourself?

PLEASE! JUDGE ME NOW! GO AHEAD! TELL ME WHERE I AM OFF, I WILL CONSIDER IT! CAN'T YOU JUDGE ME? GO AHEAD PLEASE I WANT YOU TO! TELL ME WHERE I AM OFF, TELL ME WHERE I AM WRONG? I CAN TAKE IT!

PEACE! IN MY OWN HOUSE! I DESIRE PEACE! IN MY OWN HOUSE! BUT THERE IS NO REST IN MY OWN HOUSE!!! SHAME!

That is why a good house should be purged. Indeed, that is exactly why a good house should be purged of filth. I WANT MERCY!!! I don't want opinions, strife, lies, bitterness, judgment. I WANT MERCY!! I will tell you who is judged, ANYONE WHO DOES NOT LOVE THEIR NEIGHBOR AS THE LORD COMMANDS, WHO ALSO DOESN'T LOVE THE LORD AS HE COMMANDS ARE THE ONES WHO WILL BE JUDGED! ANYONE THAT DOES THIS PERFECT WILL WILL BE KNOWN OF GOD!!

Lift the yoke off of your brother, don't be prejudiced. Be EVER ready to believe the BEST of others. FOLLOW AFTER CHARITY! LET ME HAVE REST IN MY HOUSE!!
