One cannot hope to protect mankind from crimes such as those that were visited upon us unless one struggles to break the cycle of hatred and violence that invariably leads to ever more suffering by innocent human beings.” ― Thomas Buergenthal,

I finished drawing this piece at approx. 11:21 pm. Russia declared war 11:18 ... The image started out as His face. but developed into this saddened image. 

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. 

Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” 

― Martin Luther King Jr.

Why did we not love Him enough?  Why do we not LOVE others enough?? Have we not valued LIFE enough? Have we not valued this amazing gift of our heritage given to us by God enough? 

I fear man will not survive if we do not make changes. We must see the beauty of LOVING Him... We must see the value in LIFE. We must respect and embrace our differences. We must learn to coexist in peace. We must remain focused on LOVEs (The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit) if we are to thrive instead of just survive. 

So if you made it to the end of this post... I will ask you to help me bridge hearts. Let's embrace His gift of LOVE and spread it like wildfire. One day at a time. One heart at a time. One Love at a time.

He is our only hope.

It's Him... and only Him!!

Praying for the innocent lives in these troubled times. 

May God hold them in His loving hands...

Jesus wept.  KJV 11:35
