I am beginning to see now why my approach towards people all of my life is not worked. Had I been dealing with a different type of human being all together, my approach may have been received differently -or, they likely would have had an impact on my own approach π€·ββοΈ
You know why God allows bad people to roam the Earth, allows satan to roam the earth.β¦ Two reasons, no three:
1. He wants to give bad people every opportunity to repent;
2. Bad people come and yes even satan serve a useful purpose;
3. Because whatever they can do to us isn’t nearly as important as what’s in our hearts. Now you or I may not have our priorities in the same order-but that is the way God sees it -I believe π€·ββοΈ
Do you have a humble home? Or do you have an extravagant one?
Stop being negative! Stop being positive! Start being spiritual-when negative thoughts come to your mind pray for other people!
Learning may start with being introduced to something, it may proceed furthee through taking action upon it, but it is completed only by accepting it. Or is it that accepting is only the beginning?
If your son went to Vietnam and died, I’m, and somebody refused to acknowledge that fact -how would you feel? How did people react when people started questioning whether the holocaust really happened? How do you think God feels when people question whether his son existed -whether His son died on the cross for our sins?
Afterthought: Schindler didn’t you save thousands of Jews come he saved thousands and tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of future Jews -yet to be born. The same could be said of Alcoholics Anonymous!
I’ve heard some people say they take issue with the term “tolerate” as stated in the program of Alcoholics Anonymous.
I myself initially took issue with phrases such as “Fake it til you make it”.
Most of us do not know what true sanity is because we’re not taught it. There are very few examples in this country anymore. When ISRAEL knew what true sanity was, and practiced it, they were on top of the world -DEFYING ALL ODDS!
People who combat evil, who combat wrong-doing, often suffer greatly. Even suffer loss of life! Most people don’t want to suffer. Most people do not want to lose their life. So they’re willingness to challenge the aforementioned is severely compromised. Most people are not heroes -and if they are, they’re keeping it to themselves.
The system is set up to make us believe we don’t need each other*ππππ. The worst thing for any group (both collectively and individually), no matter how confident, how strong, how well off they (we) believe they are -is disunity!. First of all, it’s the worst thing emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually that can happen to a human being. It’s the worst thing that can happen to a group that is under threat from outside entities. It’s the worst thing that can happen to an individual who is under threat from inside entities. What affects each individual, affects the group as a whole. What affects the group as a whole, affects the individual.
Through humility, the biggest and best prizes in life -and beyond can be hours for the asking. But some of us never even ask -and those of us who do, do so with anything but a sense of humility. That is to say, humility in action. Nobody has to tell you how much we human-beings love prizes -particularly the biggest and best prizes. And yet, so many of us must do without them because clearly we loathe humility even more so (some of us even hate God for not granting them to us). This country for example, could be ours once again -if only we have the humility to unite, to set aside our differences (and embrace those differences in one another God created with purpose), and set aside the arrogance, and the foolishness -of believing we need no one but ourselves (and a faulty, self-serving system -presumably maintaining order (selectively)). And all the things God too has in store for us COULD BE OURS FOR THE ASKING -if only we would be willing to use the key of humility to unlock the door to them.
We can always find something in ourselves, something in our past -to ignite a spark of humility!
*A system that convinces people that they do not need the system, that all they need is one another and a guiding sense of principles – Would become obsolete! God wants us to be interdependent -while the system man creates for himself, gives the illusion of self-sufficiency (the reality of a self-sufficiency that in the end is advantageous to only a few -and beneficial to none)
Things come to me at night after I’ve gone to bed-many times I’m too lazy to pick up the phone and write. If you look at the background on this song from Aerosmith, There’s quite a happy ending for the group. When you put the 2 together you see how God too thinks π€ of us (Rewards/Blesses) when we in turn think of others!*
About 20 minutes ago as I was getting up out of bed I recalled or rather profound rather profound connection brought to my attention late late last night while in bed. I often remember something coming to mind but fail to remember often what that something was. π So sitting on the edge of my bed, I prayed ππ». Then I laid back down for several more minutes and prayed some more ππ». Then I come into the kitchen checking my emails and saying a Little-good morning prayer to the Lord. Then on to eBay brieflyβ¦ and here it came to me and what you see above is the topic of all the commotion π THANK YOU AGAIN LORD (For your glory-for the benefit of all your children). AMEN!
