In today s world i think most of us try to do what s right . what we' ve been told will work. i think we re trying too hard to be good. alot of what we do is vanity. . we re doing what we do for wrong reasons (some of us}. some of us just think it will work if we try ,try,try,. until we re crazy with stress. then we get disappointed that our effort have not paid off. we even blame God sometimes. some are not so bold and are probably smarter than others. this life is not about beccoming famous or rich or even do gooders. it s about coming to know God and understanding the unseen world and how that world works. it works by Faith. now i can claim that i understand everything but we all know i don't so that s right. But we ve come sooo far from thinking about matters of the heart. some of us have never even heard or realized that there are options other than being the best this or that. or going over here or over there. and having this or that. when it s all said and done and we re in our private world. we ll see if we ve done what works. i think the safest and most blessed place to be as a young adults is raising children. keeps us[them] out of trouble being productive serving others. it s a very good thing. we as older folks we just need to be serving our children,as we serve our Father[who is alll puuure Love] i believe.. to store up riches and watch those around us suffe, i believe,, brings a stagnation in our soul that can sometimes be near impossible to overcome. to seek after comfort is the same. it s deadly. some folks preach the gospel of good health thru eating correctly . others say that a good marriage is what it s all about or working hard is the answer . we all know that they have their pitfalls. the most deceptive is trying to become good thru right behavior.[eating] pleasing a mate] getting a promotion at work ]..those things that are gained thru behavior are not reliable . they can all be taken from us .The only real things that can not be taken from us are the gains that come from inner disicipline, patience. long suffering ,kindness.humility,, selflessness{not being centered on self. ]. these gains can save us from all destruction. They are attained by living life thru faith.....in a frame of mind that trust in something bigger than our abilities. we cannot see or progress beyond what we have the ability to preceive. we have to have understanding of what true progress to progress. so where does that come from. realizing it ? what is that. we have to see what we need to do to do it . where does that come from? i believe it comes from the unseen kingdom. the good one . the God one . it was Jesus Christ that enabled us to enter into this kingdom. he has made the way before us. Christ has torn down the damages and separations that have kept us from success. to live in a way that does not kill us even though we do eventually die. He also made the way into eternity.not to b attained by right behavior. but by entering into the goodness that becoming one with Him brings. we do that by Faith.a spiritual kingdom. that is why we call our enabler The Holy Spirit of God. I know that sound foreign but it is what it is,or He is who He is . . there are no modern terms because H e is and was and always will be . Bigger than we are. . Thank You ,God. We are going toward and seeking after a goodness that is beyond ourselves. that can only come by knowing that we are accepted into the place that we are going, which is into his goodness.and to the place that God[Father] is . The only place of puure love .we are accepted there because
Christ gave it and i realize my need to have one go before me to make a way for me A perfect one, . one that was sent here for the purpose of redeeming us and bringing us into perfection. thru death. The death that comes as we live out this life and learn of Him and His way, His way of being and doing.,.and we do live out this life and learn of Him and His Way of being and doing. At His
hand we are perfected. Just by doing what He made us to do and be and not fighting against the natural processes of life to have our own special everything. it s not bad to b just one of the many . It took a long time for me to realize that i don t have to b all special and all that. geee. Boy was i dumb. . prob still am but my Lord can handle that also.
