“Some say trust gets you killed, love gets you hurt, and being real gets you hated.” In a broken world, those words ring true — and yet Rev. Dr. Roberta M. Heck invites us to hold fast to trust, love, and truth as healing forces. Read her reflection on keeping faith and authenticity amid pain. Read more: https://wix.to/FX4mRIp

The phrase “Some say trust gets you killed, love gets you hurt, and being real gets you hated” echoes the painful reality of living in a fallen world. People are often betrayed when they put their trust in the wrong hands, wounded when they love deeply, and rejected when they choose honesty over...

IN RECOGNITION OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER 25TH ANNIVERSARY (4 PART SERIES)

DEVASTATION AT THE
WORLD TRADE BUILDING 2001 (PART 1)

The planes roared over
Under new command
Pilots held at bay
Siege by terrorist - with devastating plans

Passengers alarmed
Witnessing the plight
In wait of the devastation
That would soon claim their life

With a fiery crash
The buildings they did crumble
To the ground the buildings fell
The bodies did tumble

Lives shattered
Taken without a cause
Country under siege
By terrorist with "A Death Clause"

Overpowering sadness
Fills the air at the sight
The nation comes together
In the strongest of might

The cries of death
Fills the air with the smoke
Televised Palestinian children
Laugh and dance with a joyous note

Filling the streets
With dance and cheer
Over the death
Of the innocent lives lost here

Rejoicing over the devastation
Caused by their fellowman
Giving joyous applause
To their “terrorist clan"

Is it a hereditary sickness
This cry for death and pain
Bringing grief to others
Such hate is insane

Numbing is the after effect
It seems war is at hand
Is it really the answer
To end this plaque of hate in the land

To stop the "terrorist"
What will it take
We must stop this insanity
It's already too late!

ON THE MEND FROM DEVASTATION (PART 2)

Slowly we mend
With diligence and depth
To bring closure from the devastation
So hard to accept

Accept and rationalize
For there's no reasoning to this mess
Makes it hard for the mind to absorb
Even harder to digest

But we move
As swiftly as allowed
Through the remains and rubble
The forklifts will plow

In want and wait
With pain and grief
To bring closure for many
To some - A sigh of relief

Pain brings strength
Strength - Determination
Rationalizing it all
You see there is no explanation

So, we weep...

Weeping for the missing
With hope and prayers
Eyes cried so much
They are left with blank stares

Of the shock and the horror
The hurt - Such pain
Why did this happen
Is ignorance truly the blame

Now for the reproach
For the aftermath that we must face
We must use logic in our strategy
With steadfast haste

To employ our forces
Swiftly over the lands
To bring an end to the devastation
Of the "Terrorist Clan"

It won't take many
Just the best of the best
To hunt down our enemy
And bring our nation to rest

RETALIATION AT NO END (PART 3)

Now that war is declared
Our country steadfast to defend
From the "Terrorist Acts"
That now transcends

Upon our soil
Did they stake their claim
Bringing on devastation
And hate is the blame

Defend we will
From enemy and foe
Bringing an end to terrorism
Just how far we will go

Over and beyond
For the call of what is "right"
Deleting this plaque from mankind
With all our might

Going from cities to mountains
Delivering a devastating blow
Plowing through towns and villages
Leaving mourners as we go

It's the price that must be paid
When there's retaliation at no end
All in the name of Democracy
To protect and defend

Lives will be lost
During the course of our plight
Isn't it the duty of our Nation
In the name of what is right

In the eyes of Democracy
In the Land of The Free
In an endless war
Let us pray that it ceases

When will it end
How far will we go
Battling a country that has never known peace
Only sorrow and woe

ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY (PART 4)

The dust has settled
The walls torn down
The urns have been filled
So many unfound

Wounded hearts
Plagued with doubt
So many unanswered questions
So many pieces left out

New York City is on the mend
The cleanup is almost done
The work never stops
The City must continue to run

The site must be purged
The smell of death be removed
The unsightliness deleted
A Monument must stand untainted and true

To mark the gravesites of the lost
A memory of the day
When devastation was brought against us
In such a malicious way

The lives of the innocent
Taken without a thought
Such evil planted in the minds of their children
It is how they are bred - It is how they are taught

Bred to hate and kill
No values do they know
It makes me shudder to think
There's no limit to how far they will go

Now...

War has been engaged
The death toll rises slow
But how many is enough
Just how far will we go

To infinite and beyond
To extinction before there's a clue
You know we really have a problem
And the "Solution is Overdue"

“LOVE IN ACTION”

When Paul describes love in this passage, he isn’t talking about a fleeting feeling or an emotional high. He is teaching us about the divine nature of love, God’s kind of love, agape love. This love is not self-centered, conditional, or temporary. It is steadfast, enduring, and rooted in God Himself, for “God is love” (1 John 4:8).

Notice how Paul frames love: he doesn’t merely define it in abstract terms, but in action and character. Love suffers long, it has patience with people even when wronged. Love is kind, it actively seeks the good of others. Love does not envy or boast, for it is secure in God and doesn’t need to compete. Love refuses to be proud or behave rudely. It doesn’t push its own agenda but seeks the well-being of others.

True love doesn’t allow anger to control it. It refuses to dwell on wrongs or keep score of offenses. Instead of delighting in gossip, bitterness, or sin, love finds its joy in truth and righteousness. It carries burdens, chooses to believe in the best, keeps its hope alive, and endures through hardships.

In essence, Paul shows us that love is the reflection of Christ Himself. Every quality listed here was lived out by Jesus in His ministry, His relationships, and ultimately at the cross. When we walk in this love, we reflect the heart of Christ to a broken world.

Yet, this love is not easy in our own strength. We may find ourselves impatient, easily provoked, or tempted to keep records of wrongs. That is why we must rely on the Holy Spirit to pour God’s love into our hearts (Romans 5:5). Only through Him can we consistently live out this supernatural love.

So today, ask yourself: Am I walking in this love? Do my words and actions align with the patient, kind, and enduring love described here? Let us not just read about love, let us embody it, for love is the greatest testimony of our faith (John 13:35).

4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 KJV

Thank You for teaching me what true love is through Your Word and through the life of Jesus Christ. Help me to walk in this kind of love daily with patience, kindness, humility, and forgiveness.

Remove any bitterness, envy, or pride from my heart, and fill me with the love of Christ that bears, believes, hopes, and endures all things. May my life be a reflection of Your perfect love so others may see You in me. Strengthen me through the power of the Holy Spirit to live in love, even when it’s difficult. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen and To God Be The Glory!
