My Beloved United States

Maybe 2012 is the transition of a different life for the world. My Beloved United States can't go on like this much longer borrowing money from China, as well as others. Instead of sending money overseas( with the exception of humanitarian causes) we as a nation need to start paying back some of the loans. We as a nation need to tighten our belts, all of us, that is everyone has to sacrifice and suffer more than we have been doing. It's time to start paying for the way we have been living. Americans need to stop buying so much stuff, we are distracted with all the technology, with all the baubles, with materialism.
How much longer do you think God will let us go on living with our self-absorbed attitudes, truly we are Laodicea. There is so much greed in this country, even among the poorer and middle classes. There is so much poverty, and no one seriously wants to help the homeless or those who have been severely affected by the econmonic situation. We are back to buying things, back in the stores. Watching expensive and superfluous films like Avatar in 3D. Hey, I watched it too, and I judge myself.
Where will all of this end? The borrowing, the living, like life is one big party, one big joke. Both political parties, need to meet in the middle, and we as a nation need to take responsibility for the debt, but do it responsibly, while helping our own nation first to recover. We simply do not have the money to send to Yemen. I feel for other nations, but how does the old saying go, "charity begins at home."
We need to recover. We need to take care of our own people. We need to create jobs. The rich among us, need to start paying more taxes, and stop hiding money off shore. They need to feel blessed that they live in a nation that allowed them to have what they have. Instead of wanting more. Greed is a symptom of a much deeper problem. Greed is a spiritual emptiness that seeks to fill up the hole with things.
We need to fill up the holes with God. We need to ask for and pray for His wisdom. We need to pray collectively. We need to stop being foolish, and fighting wars we simply cannot afford.
How can we fight wars effectively and not raise taxes? That's insanity. Either raise the taxes for a war or don't have a war. You can't have it both ways. It is both political parties that are ruining this country. We cannot be effectively strong, if we are not financially strong, and we are financially weak because of the sin in this nation. We sin, because we kill our unborn. We sin because we call pornography freedom of speech. We sin because we do not punish people who do evil, instead we coddle the evil in prisons. How do you think the Lord views a nation that sacrifices their unborn? We may call it pro-choice but God calls it child sacrifice, and He punished Israel for sacrificing their babies. He calls people on their sin, and we should be grateful His mercy has lasted this long.
We need to repent, ask God for His help, and turn away from what we know is sin. You can call it pro-choice, but abortion is murder, and God will punish.
We are already tasting the fruits of our sin, we are struggling economically. The rich may think they have gotten their profit margin back, but it is only temporary. The country cannot recover if people do not want to change. If we want to live any old way eventually we will reap the consequences, and we are already seeing the evidence of that.
Things may seem only temporarily better, but what happens when foreign nations call us on the loans? Do we trust them by borrowing more? We need to trust in God and not in foreign governments to bail us out. Eventually, they will want their money back, money we keep spending.
God have mercy and bless this nation, my beloved United States.
