THE NON-BELIEVER & THE BOOK OF BOOKS; THE BIBLE...

According to statistics, there are more non-believers in the world than there are Muslims, and Hindus combined. Fascinating...

To those who do not believe, and to those who do not believe in the Bible, I would like to present this: Let's say there is no *GOD*, which I have a hard time even saying, but, let's just, for the sake of discussion, say there is no Higher Power, which means that the Bible, is man conceived..
.
Ok, so, if there is no *GOD*, and the Bible is not HIS Word, then, so what? I mean, obviously the BOOK, called the Bible has had some very profound effects upon mankind, and, gives us an outline of living a decent life. It is filled with LOVE, the need for character, growth, wisdom, responsibility towards our actions, confession, how to do almost anything, human compassion, and well, most every feasible issue is discussed in this great BOOK, giving mankind a manual of optimization, if you will...

Before the BOOK was written, and through the centuries, there was/has been, enormous lawlessness; people were living in unhealthy ways, affecting those around them, as well as influencing those who were wiser. And so, I have to say that in the event that it is all wishful thinking that there IS *GOD*, and this is NOT HIS Word, then, whoever was aware enough, wise enough, and, caring enough to devise this BOOK, has done all societies a great justice...

Personally, because of the depth, and the breadth of the Creation, & the messages in the Bible, I am convinced that there IS *GOD*, and this IS HIS WORD, HIS LAW, & HIS instructions to us that we might have a life fulfilled. However, to those who do not share my conviction, then, I still say, so what if the Bible was written by some very ingenious people? They gave us a path to growth, they gave us a way to find hope, and they gave us a map of personal progress, which has lasted thousands of years, and will last until humanity is gone...

People follow ideals of idols, people worship a wide variety of ideals, beliefs, & things, still, so many find it difficult to conceive a CREATOR *GOD*, of whom there is more evidence than that which non-believers are subscribing to, yet, this too, is a part of the battle which is clearly detailed in the BOOK, the Bible, concerning *GOD*, and the evil angel called Satan, whose very existence is based on removing as many humans AWAY from *GOD*, and good, as is feasible. The evil one's work has been impressive, as more and more people are sucked in by his evil ways, which incidentally, is most prominently noticeable in the mind, causing one to sway, disbelieve, or turn from such thoughts entirely. However, know this, despite his impressive reign, he is doomed, so, he has achieved nothing really, except furthering the need for people to align themselves with correct thinking, and beliefs, that they are spared the imperatively certain fate of demise which he is leading many to...

Once more, I say, if there is no *GOD*, and the Bible is not HIS WORD, then so what? This BOOK of all books has paved the way to a greater life than not, and has provided centuries of thought-provoking considerations which further advance man's state of being...

Believe what you will, believe not, it is your free will to decide for yourself, however, in your choice, it is not acceptable that you will refute loudly what you do not quite know. Your proof is hanging in the balance, as there is no proof that *GOD* does not exist. Not only that, in your loud proclamation against the Truths within the BOOK, you are in err, for like it or not, the truths therein, have made great strides for all of mankind, even you, the non-believer...

HAVE A BLESSED WEEK:)))

As a new week opens up, let us also open up our spirit to the blessings before us, by not getting lost in the negatives we will surely meet along the course of this week. If we live in faith, we are sure of the fact that our FATHER, *GOD*, has it all under control, knowing exactly what we need to make our lives optimal, therefore, we should be able to resist falling into the traps which negativity will have set out for us...

Along with that frame of mind, let us not forget to be grateful, thankful, and praiseful to the LORD *GOD*, for all HE will bestow upon us, seen, or not...

Also, we should go about our week with a cheerful attitude, blessing others with our compassionate ways. We should be helpful, kind, considerate, tolerant, caring, sharing, understanding, patient, and we should pay attention to those around us, for there are some who need us in various ways, be that as a listener, an advisor, to lift their spirits, or any of many other ways. We should be there for our fellow people, as much as is feasible, and go beyond the call for certain people in certain circumstances/conditions/situations, and so forth...

I begin each day with thanks to *GOD*. As soon as my eyes are open, regardless of whether I am yet groggy or not, I say, "Thank you FATHER, for this day; Thank YOU for all the wonderful bounty YOU bring my way; Please, take care of my people, and me, I thank YOU, and praise YOU eternally." AMEN. In doing so, I have placed *GOD* first in my life, I have thanked HIM for HIS blessings/bounty, I have placed faith in HIS will, and I have praised HIM eternally. I have found this to be a great lift to opening up to the day, void of worry about the day ahead, or what the world will bring forth...

Life is short, we only have one shot at getting it as right as we feasibly can, and, it really isn't going to work if we don't look on HIGH for all of the tools we need, from pure LOVE, to caring guidance, blessings for growth, and mercy from our sins. All of the days requirements are found in our FATHER *GOD*, and as HIS children, we should honestly, openly, trust that HE will provide for us, and take care of us, for it is HIS joy to do so, especially for HIS children who DO so faithfully allow HIM to...

Have a wonderfully blessed, happy, fun-filled, LOVING week. Imagine the world as your actual family, and then, treat them accordingly. Remember, what goes around, comes around, so, the more you spread good will, LOVE, and peace, the more you will live in such. *GOD* be with you, guide you, protect you, enrich you, empower you, LOVE you, and hold you in his SPIRIT, that the week ahead is one of wonder, AMEN, forever & ever...

WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE??? A WEEKLY MESSAGE...

Many are lost in trying to figure out what their purpose in life is. Your purpose is of *GOD's* Divine plan, however, HE has told us that our purpose to humanity is to become the best person we can possibly become by aligning our lives to HIS WORD. In other words, we are here to develop into people who are advanced in living in the righteousness HE has placed before us to study, learn, and implement. We are here to grow; in character, in LOVE, in soul, in action, to becoming examples of HIS WORD alive, and living...

Life is not about status, money, looks, popularity, nor, any external at all. It is about building the interior person into what it was intended to be; cultivating it to spring forth in obvious form of the SPIRIT alive. Of course, because we were given free will, we can ignore the development of the inner being, and live in the material world, but, in doing so, that is when we find ourselves questioning why we are here in the first place, and so, I have to say, the answer is so simple that we overlook it, or don't believe it is that cut, and dry, or we have decided that this is not what we would want to do with our lives...

It is odd that we stumble around seeking answers, and a life fulfilled, when it is so easy to achieve, so easy to understand once we take certain steps, plus, when we do take on the ways of righteous living, amazing blessings follow, which further empower, and enrich us. Truly, when you turn to the WAYS of the LORD *GOD*, and take up the yoke of HIS WORD, you will be blessed without needing to ask, for HE KNOWS what you need, and want, it is a part of the HOLY covenant, when you give up the world for HIM, HE will make sure that your days are fulfilled in ways you have not even begun to realize...

What is your purpose in this life? To stand up and be counted as one of the CREATOR *GOD's* faithful, LOVING, peaceful children; one who has grown to understanding that WITH HIM in our lives, life is exactly what it should be!!!

John 5:30: I am able to do nothing from Myself (independently, of my own accord-but only as I am taught by God and as I get His orders). Even as I hear, I judge (I decide as I am bidden to decide. As the voice comes to me, so I give a decision), and my judgement is right, (just, righteous), because I do not seek or consult my own will, (I have no desire to do what is pleasing to myself, my own aim, my own purpose), but only the will and pleasure of the Father who sent me.

Lamentations 3:25-26: The Lord is good to those who wait hopefully and expectantly for Him, to those who seek Him, (inquire of and for Him, and require Him by right of necessity and on the authority of God's word.) It is good that one should hope in and wait quietly the salvation (the safety and ease) of the Lord.

Matthew 7:7-8: Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking (reverently) and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, the door will be opened.
