I went very deep last time, so I want to pull back a bit;

First, let’s understand, the Bible is the Word of God,” All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness” (2 Timothy NIV 3:16)

The Bible says, All scripture is God-breathed. That means all scripture trains us for His good work, all scripture is written as God intended it; there doesn’t seem to be any conflict there. Often we are scared to face God. I know that I have had trouble reading the Bible, and the Course In Miracles, but this resistance is natural, because our whole lives, we have had a self,” Reality is safe and secure, and wholly kind to everyone and everything. There is no greater love than to accept this and be glad” (CIM 16 II: 6-7)

God is in our lives, because his design has placed us where we are now,” From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.” (Acts NIV 17:26-27)
God loves you, seek his love and you shall find it.

Have a blessed day, stay safe in the snow storms

Here's some questions to reflect on, then I want to tell a story: 

If Guilt is hell, then what is its opposite? (CIM- WB-39) 

Whenever you choose a life separate from God, do you feel joy? 

Everything that is separate from God only brings us happiness that is temporary, it doesn't long for us to seek something else, and all the forms that we use, like food, or clothes, have limited uses in that way. But God's love can be with us every second we live, and can bring us joy beyond anything else the world could give us.

One day I spent my entire day separate from God, I played this Prison simulator, but it went beyond how I played this game. My thoughts towards myself were so critical, and my desire to be alive just vanished, I hated everyone and everything. I was so disconnected but how lucky that I searched again. 

I had a dream last night where a man came to me and said, that God can be with us with whatever we do, even the forms that we associate with. By themselves they have no meaning. In addition, how great is it to know that you are loved endlessly, that YOUR life can be filled with Love. That the inadequacy that limits, is not seen when God is with you, he simply says," Put aside all fear and follow me" Put away your fears about who you are, put away all the fears that have made you sad, love the people who have harmed you for you cannot gain by hating them. Conquer all fear, because only fear is what limits us. It's easier said than done, but I know with God, and when he's apart of our life, we can live without fear, and in perfect safety. 

I'm developing an online discussion that talks about living a godly life. Peace isn't easy when our lives are filled with so many things to do and things to worry about. But worry and fear don't have to be the solution and the way that we go about our daily lives. Our interactions with others can be open and giving, when we look within for the positive qualities that are also inherent with the bad ones.

Have there been, days, weeks, months, years where you everything around you seemed hectic and you had to fight to survive? 

Turn to God, the trinity is the only way you can survive. You rely on a strength that is separate from creation- the ego which is the cause of all illusion or sin. Satan, who cannot control you unless you let him. Your faith in God will solve these problems. You must also remember, each struggle that tests you, you have an opportunity to find a peaceful solution. Believe his will shall be done.

In those moments, how did you see other people around you? How did you see yourself?

In times where our faith is tested, and our lives are not peaceful, often we reflect this onto our view of ourselves and those around us. God is the peace which corrects the perception of who you are, and those that surround you. Know his most important commandments and practice them, and you will see yourself and those around you in a new light.

There are many ways that God can reach us, and many ways that he reaches out to us. The Bible is the Word of God, and so it is there that we look for his guidance. God also finds us in what we do; every interaction, and every little thing that is good, is a part of God, who is the truest good,” And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Jesus Christ” (Phillipians NIV 4:7). Look where God has been in your life, good things that have happened, or bad things which test our faith. Go to Jesus when you are afraid, for He will protect you and keep you safe. When Peter was walking on the water, he doubted, and when he cried out to him as he fell, Jesus immediately saved him. 

God is real. This blog is a testimony of faith to show you that God is with you wherever you go. He has not abandoned you.

This is a poem:

Just a Dream

Love is a gift that has no requests, 

In God I neither give nor take,

Just one connection that is never shaken.

A connection which holds no hate, and creates no pain to those around me,

It sits silently and flows from my forehead

My hands breath his loving energy,

My breath becomes longer and deeper, while my heart moves slower and more centered,

I am one, as God intended.

For now as I sit in silence, everything that once harmed me is gone.

I cannot be shaken for his love surrounds me,

I cannot be broken, for his gifts complete me,

I no longer know pain, that which dwells deep and lingers in my guilty soul,

Instead, I know perfect joy

I am still, for Jesus holds my hand and asks me to go with him

Together we will go to God and all that I know will be gone.

Everything that once harmed me will be erased,

But what I remember will still be there,

I will look on it in a guiltless eye,

An Eye without regret

I know innocence in all my brothers and sisters,

We walk together in harmony

And the pain that once lingered, can be no more,

Just a dream long forgotten
