GOD grants each of us gifts -gifts to be used to assist us in our survival and to assist us in making the world a better place. And what do we do, we turn survival into avarice, greed, excess. And do we make the world a better place with that resource garnering power we’ve been granted. That’s what gifts do, they grant us a little bit of power don’t they? But instead of making the world a better place we make our lives a better place [than it already is by improving on GOD’S perfect plan] which often results in problems that somewhere down the road ensue -because that was never the intended purpose of these gifts from the start! The way the story goes is GOD has granted us everything we need on this planet. Everything for disease. Everything for starvation and hunger if we use our gifts to benefit one another instead of heaping it on ourselves. Women using their beauty to find a man to live lavishly in the name of so-called security. Men using their intellects to attract the most beautiful women and granting them the most lavish lifestyles and giving little nothing to the needy thus offsetting the existing imbalance in the world – But no, men and women largely choose to use their gifts to serve themselves in the name of their families, taking their own credit all the while, justifying their choices by saying it is by their own hands [or bodies and looks] that they have what they have and why should they give it away. If it wasn’t so damaging it would be almost comical, the idea that what we have is ours and ours alone to do it as we see fit and that God had no hand in it and therefore has no right to ask us to part with these things things we value so much, if they even believe there to be a God.
GOD always has granted us woven into the creation of this universe an outlook that will diffuse most perceived negative or toxic experiences we have in it. For example “everything GOD has allowed in the universe he has allowed with good reason”.
Imagine being introduced to somebody the day you were both born, growing up together, getting married, spending your entire lives together, dying together. How wonderful is that?
Based on these writings some might argue I really don’t know how the world works. That I’m setting my self up for a fall. Do you think JESUS didn’t know how the world worked? Judas claimed all the time that HE didn’t. That HE was naive and innocent. In my case you’re probably right, I don’t know how the world works.
