Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns:
Refuse to spend your valuable time on regrets and wishing you had made better choices or lived your life with greater integrity or loved and been loved more completely. Begin again today with better choices and love in your heart for those around you. You are still alive and can still make a difference.
John 15:12-13 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down your life for your friends.
Revelation 17The Great Harlot
And came one of the seven angels of the ones having the seven bowls, and he spoke with me, saying, Come, I will show to you the judgment of the great harlot, the one sitting upon the many waters, with whom the kings of the earth committed harlotry, and the ones dwelling on the earth were intoxicated of the wine of her harlotry. And he carried me away into the wilderness in Spirit. And I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet beast, being full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was wearing purple and scarlet, gilded with gold, and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and the uncleanlinesses of her harlotry. And upon her forehead a name being written, Mystery, Babylon the great, the mother of the harlots and of the abominations of the earth. And I saw the woman being intoxicated of the blood of the holy ones, and of the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And I marveled, having seen her, with great wonder. And the angel said to me, Why did you marvel? I will tell to you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast, of the one bearing her, of the one having the seven heads and the ten horns; even the beast which you saw was, and is not, and is about to ascend from out of the abyss, and to go away into destruction. And the ones dwelling upon the earth shall marvel, whose names are not written upon the scroll of the life from the founding of the world, seeing the beast that was, and is not, and shall be at hand. Here is the mind of the One having wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains where the woman sits upon them. And there are seven kings — the five fallen, the one is, the other is not come yet; and whenever he should come, he must remain a little. And the beast which was, and is not, even he is eighth, and he is from out of the seven, and he goes unto destruction. And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, ones which received not a kingdom yet, but receive authority as kings one hour with the beast. These have one opinion, and they give the power and their authority to the beast.
The Lamb
These shall wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and the ones with Him are called, and chosen, and trustworthy. And he says to me, The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes, and nations, and languages. And the ten horns which you saw upon the beast, these shall detest the harlot, and they shall cause her being made desolate, and shall make her naked, and shall devour her flesh, and shall incinerate her by fire. For God gave to their hearts to do His design, and to do one design, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman whom you saw is the great city, the one having kingship over the kings of the earth.

Here’s the thing. They can have what they want but they are not trusting Me for it. Keep on your journey, thanking Me for what you have. You are surrounded by comfort and knowledge that I am with you along with My blessings.
Exodus 20:17 “You shall not covet [that is, selfishly desire and attempt to acquire] your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” Robin Robinson Bohlin
