I have been trying to find my way to a more intimate relationship with God. I keep feeling like I am just fumbling and bumbling. Not really making the connection I need with God.
I believe your loving and wise words about your relationship with God. How you created that. It's a good spiritual path to follow. I will read your story often to keep me steady on my path.
It's been more than 2 years of pain and suffering for me. I'm a senior and have struggled with my health. Two major surgeries in 7 month and now facing other health conditions that can't be cured. I do know that GOD has looked over me during this time. I'm grateful for that. I just need more in terms of really listening to what he wants from me and then following his work.
God bless you for having your strong spirituality and sharing this important message. I saw this for a reason. Thanks so much.
Two questions that must come to any thinking person; sin and pain. We have to wrestle with them, it's who we are. They are connected. I was moved deeply this morning by Coleman's piece. Part of being made in the image of God is that moral question. No other animal suffers with it. I was trying to formulate some response that wasn't jargon.
As do we all. It's a book we can spend a lifetime getting to know and understand. But the essential message is so simple, and you articulated it so well.

GOD bless and keep you in the palm of HIS hand.
In John, He said, "I call you not as servants but as Friends."
HE is your Friend.
Just talk to HIM.

Read the Book. Talk to God.
You're just a guy who read a book who GETS its message. 🩷
Thank you.
I ain't claiming deep understanding.
I have soooo many questions.

Thank you. Believe me, it is not my idea.
i think you understand that i stand with you
i did not need to know how you got there
but i am glad to
there are people that read that book
and they become demons of vengence
- only idiots write past here
i propose that the part of you that read that book
and did not become a demon of vengence
that is the hand of the all
it is part of you
and it is a great danger to let your power
especially yours
pass through the hands of another
-i cant say that this is happening
but i have a fear of it
~
i do have many voices in my head
a book would just muddle things further
the voices do generally agree;
~
sevice to the self
has only the benifit
of practicing service
priror to inflicting on others
~
service to others being the only sane activity
of any denizen of this magnificent pallace
we serve others from a true deep healthy greed
once we let go
of the belief
in separation (flicker, flicker, never always, flicker)
service is like a beep breath of oxygen
it is no labor
it is not heroic
it is not selfless
it is just the bidding
that was there before delusion
it is the hidden secret
it is the graduation present
from stage one barbarism
~
ps you rock
I do believe I started out a servant of rage and vengeance.
Enraptured with the Morrigna.
Then
Something else cast that out and lit a candle in my darkest corners. It was not me.
However it came to pass,
you have a nice glow
and you don't tangle with bullshit.
~
I get the not me part for sure.
Perhahaps we all must travel dark first.
I studied physics
until the world I had been led to believe in, dissapeared.
~
I studied myself until that dissapeard.
I studied my life until I was forced to admit i was making it suck.
Then i looked up.
~
And everything was there.
One people.
One planet.
One missision.
~
I can see where this goes without intervention.
And as long as I work to change our direction.
I am spared the graphic dreams of our demise.
~
Because i made zero progress
until i decide to fix the planet myself.
When I meet a person like you, I set part of this planet down.
And what i work toward becomes a little more possible.
~
So, though it is nice to meet you,
that does not begin to cover it.
That is just too good. Well put.
Thank You
