We are all connected in this life, we are all sparks from God. When I look at you I see your Pain, Sorrow, Disappointment and Defeat. I also see your Hope, Heart, compassion and Acceptance. Why do I see these things? Because I am you. I know just how negative and unpleasant life can be but I also know how joyous, positive and fulfilling life can be. One thing I have learned about on my life's journey is unconditional love. It is given to us as it is to Jesus by our loving parents in heaven. Here on earth we just need a soft place to fall when life kicks us in the behind. My soft place to fall is Jesus. He knew adversity, he knew suffering and he witnessed it personally and in others. Now he comforts me and helps me with acceptance. Who is your soft place to fall? Jesus can be your soft place to fall also just ask and he will be there with overwhelming love and compassion.
Jesus is not my savior, I don't need saving I need to be loved and encouraged and that is just what Jesus did for me before I came here, every second I am here and will continue to do for me when I return home. I don't have faith in God, I don't need to have faith in God being the given in my life. God has faith in me because unfortunatly I am not made up of an all encompassing love as God is and at times I am blinded by acts of Bigotry and Mockery towards another yet I maintain my love for all even those who do the Mocking and are the Bigots, only after carful soul searching however because I unlike God need reminding of what my journey here is about. I alone just as you are am responsible for only me. I can show a better way whilest not defaming ways not suited for me. It is kind of like "live and let live." If I were able to control others somehow I would not! I love the diversity in the world, it calls for conversation and debate and this is exactly how change comes about. God loves you and so do I.
God is Love, pure clean and unchangeable love. He loves us all no matter what. Open your heart and open your mind and let that thought sink in. Please don't complicate this already complicated life with ritual's and sacrifices you think will please God. Love your fellow man and be kind to all living creatures this pleases God. Follow Jesus example and love others as you would want to be loved. Practicality tells us to be weary of the wolf in sheep's clothing but a mistrust for all mankind is a disheartening block in the success of your life. I love you all, be good be kind and remember negativity is hard to rewind.
Love Out
