Thoughts on God, Man and Life
Do you not think it is time to take God seriously? If you look back on your life, are there not some things you wish you had not done? Sure! We all have!
But where are you now? Have you learned anything from pass experiences?
Making mistakes in life is common to all of us. However, the question is what we do, after the mistakes. Do we recognize them? Do we cover them up? Do we blame others?
Or are we sorry for what we have done; and seek to make amends?
Our conscience, for sure, would thank us and reward us for our repentance. God would also be pleased with our honest attitude towards life.
Fortunately or unfortunately, humankind has to learn from his mistakes. Therefore, when he does not, his situation is pathetic--to say the least.
Mankind has experienced, and continues to experience many self-inflicted failures and tragedies. Many have attempted to go through the complexities of life--without the aid of wisdom.
Thoughts on God, Man and Life The Problem is Understanding
The problem is--man did not create life He knows very little about it!
Some are surprised to know that there is Someone always present, who knows our thoughts, plans and actions--even before we conceive them!
God knows all this! Are you surprise? Do not be! He is God. He created us! He must know everything about us!
Now you may question, if God knows everything about us, and He loves us; why does He allow humankind to do things harmful to others and to themselves.
This raises another very important matter. It is the matter of being free moral-beings. It is the power of choice!
Our being free moral beings, is not to be taken lightly! Here is where humankind often brings hardship and tragedy on themselves. Some use their freedom as license, to do whatever their senses and minds tell them to do--things usually harmful to themselves or others.
Thoughts on God, Man and Life Changes With Age
Furthermore, it appears each generation has moved a little further away than the previous one, from the center of truth; or doing the right thing.
Having said that, one may argued, each succeeding generation faced more temptations, challenges, and pitfalls, than the preceding one!
However, God will eventually make all wrong things right--among His creation.
Many persons have great difficulty in appreciating an attribute of God called--justice. They mistakenly think He is not aware of it or He ignores it.
However, we are all accountable and responsible for the way we live here on earth:
Those who believe in justice, often wonder why God takes, so long to make wrong things right!
This leads to another attribute of God --His patience or long-suffering!
What do we know about God's patience? Why is He patient and long-suffering with us?
It is because we are disobedient and rebellious. We love to have our own way. Nevertheless, God loves us unconditionally. He is not willing that any should perish. We need to take full advantage of our present window of Grace--while He offers it to us.
"... now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation" 2 Corinthians 6:2.
Truth cannot be destroyed. When you embrace Truth, you are considered wise in the eyes of God the Creator. When you find Truth, you cannot keep it to yourself! You want to pass it on.
