JESUS is the WAY

 John 8:24

King James Version

24 I said therefore unto you, 

that ye shall die in your sins: 

for if ye believe not that I am he, 

ye shall die in your sins.

Do you believe in JESUS?

What makes JESUS the WAY?

What does "the way" mean?

Scripture makes things clear.

JESUS is the WAY back to GOD.

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, 

the truth, 

and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.

JESUS is the WAY to the SPIRIT of GOD.

Matthew 3:11

King James Version

11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. 

but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, 

whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: 

he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, 

and with fire:

JESUS is the WAY to ETERNAL LIFE.

John 3:16

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

JESUS is the WAY to SALVATION.

Acts 4:12

King James Version

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: 

for there is none other name under heaven 

given among men, 

whereby we must be saved.

JESUS is the WAY to see and know GOD.

John 14:7

King James Version

7 If ye had known me, 

ye should have known my Father also: 

and from henceforth ye know him, 

and have seen him.

JESUS is the WAY to GODLINESS.

1 Timothy 3:16

King James Version

16 And without controversy 

great is the mystery of godliness: 

God was manifest in the flesh, 

justified in the Spirit, 

seen of angels, 

preached unto the Gentiles, 

believed on in the world, 

received up into glory.

JESUS is the WAY to TRUTH.

John 8:31-32

King James Version

31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, 

If ye continue in my word, 

then are ye my disciples indeed;

32 And ye shall know the truth, 

and the truth shall make you free.

JESUS is the WAY to GRACE.

John 1:17

King James Version

17 For the law was given by Moses, 

but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

JESUS is the WAY to FORGIVENESS.

1 John 1:9

King James Version

9 If we confess our sins, 

he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, 

and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

JESUS is the WAY to ALL knowledge.

John 16:30

King James Version

30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, 

and needest not that any man should ask thee: 

by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.

JESUS is the WAY to PEACE.

John 16:33

King James Version

33 These things I have spoken unto you, 

that in me ye might have peace. 

In the world ye shall have tribulation: 

but be of good cheer; 

I have overcome the world.

JESUS is the WAY to LOVE.

John 13:34-35

King James Version

34 A new commandment I give unto you, 

That ye love one another; 

as I have loved you, 

that ye also love one another.

35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, 

if ye have love one to another.

JESUS is the WAY God is GLORIFIED.

John 13:31

King James Version

31 Therefore, when he was gone out, 

Jesus said, 

Now is the Son of man glorified, 

and God is glorified in him.

JESUS is the WAY to being BORN AGAIN.

John 3:3

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

I though the image cool.

That's like JESUS in the boat.

Upholding the three banners.

GOD, the Father.

GOD, the Son.

GOD, the HOLY SPIRIT.

Way to go, LORD!

I'm right behind ya!

It's been QUITE a JOURNEY

 

GOD said:

Jeremiah 29:13

King James Version

13 And ye shall seek me, 

and find me, 

when ye shall search for me 

with all your heart.

This post was written, for all who wished me well on my birthday today.

I had no idea, the overflowing love, from many people -- kin, friends, and friends of my mom.

Even an amazing surprise from colleagues in other parts of the world.

I am writing this post especially, for all of you who cared to post your best wishes, even when I had not met a number of you.

Because you love my mom, you love me, too.

God likes that kind of love, among all of us.

I am deeply touched, and most grateful.

But surely, mothers speak well of their daughters.

Even if this daughter is imperfect.

So, I thank you all, from my heart.

I have not been away from you.

I've been kept busy by the LORD, that's why.

SPIRIT and I have been working hard, getting the message out.

That we are to focus on JESUS now, for the time is at hand.

It's not by accident, this covid crisis.

It's not by accident, this chaos, and confusion, all over the world.

It's not by accident, the hardship, for most people.

I didn't know how, or when, I could finally tell you all these.

But today, seemed an opportune time to do so.

After 31 blogs, 24 books, and thousands of posts, it's time I shared my work with you.

You see, a day before my birthday -- as is a habit with me -- I pray to God.

Where am I going?

Am I doing the right thing?

What can I do better?

It's only when God made me born again two years ago, that things became crystal clear.

On 6 September 2019, He led me to two prophetic videos on America.

God didn't waste time.

He led me to Bible prophecy right away.

So, I studied the Bible for four months, with TONS of paper all over my room.

Pieces of paper, notebooks, anything I could write on.

For the Bible was talking non-stop to me.

Telling me about GOD.

Telling me about the HOLY SPIRIT.

Telling me about JESUS.

I did pray to know His WORDS.

EXACTLY as He delivered it.

I was like a very thirsty child, who could not drink enough, from GOD's fountain.

He made me write 22 books in 24 November 2019, all the way to late December 2019.

That's like 36 days of non-stop writing, as everyone was partying, traveling, working, tending to family, having fun.

And then, the covid hit.

All that time, God kept my nose to the Bible grindstone, for His own, perfect purpose.

And on 14 January 2020, JESUS led me to something super urgent.

Matthew 24:40

King James Version

40 Then shall two be in the field; 

the one shall be taken, 

and the other left.

I could not shake that verse off my mind.

So much so, it became the CENTRAL point, of all my blogs, and posts.

The time was at hand.

I had to warn everybody.

It was time to get right with God.

Even as He and His prophets had been warning for ages.

But what is a thousand years in man's time?

It is but a DAY, with God.

2 Peter 3:8

King James Version

8 But, 

beloved, 

be not ignorant of this one thing, 

that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, 

and a thousand years as one day.

I also learned that science agreed with SPIRIT.

"Where there's no mass,

there's no time."

 -- Dr. Chuck Missler

And, since God is a Spirit, He doesn't have mass.

Neither is He governed by time.

If anything, He GOVERNS EVERYTHING.

That being that, it only made sense JESUS could return for His faithful ANY MOMENT He decides.

But how many are awake?

How many are paying attention?

How many have heard the call?

Let it be known, God is in control of EVERYTHING.

That's why I turn to the BIBLE for His WORD.

His WORD is pure, perfect, and precise.

Proverbs 30:5

King James Version

5 Every word of God is pure: 

he is a shield unto them 

that put their trust in him.

I've always adored God.

I've always known He was IT.

But I never read His BOOK, for I was not His yet.

Any of you who know me well, know that you won't find me partying, or sitting at a cafe.

You'd find me at a bookshop.

A thrift shop.

A library.

Any place where books could be found.

I was a sponge for information.

I was looking for ULTIMATE TRUTH.

I kept praying to God about it.

He kept giving me dreams.

Those dreams started in 1997.

Jesus even showed up several times in my dreams.

I kept getting clues about God.

Even about the future.

Thus, the books on spiritual warfare.

But I was researching books written by man.

While God's BOOK waited for my attention.

Actually, God was waiting for my COMPLETE surrender.

The mind can play tricks on you.

Ego, especially.

Thinking you're knowledgeable, certain.

But every time I felt I was close to finding so-called ultimate truth; there was ALWAYS a piece missing.

Of course, the BIBLE was that piece.

GOD's WORD was that piece.

I know that now.

I've been writing non-stop for two years now.

All my articles come from SPIRIT, and thus, are backed by SCRIPTURE.

SPIRIT has much to share with you, that's why.

Plus, I'm being educated about SPIRIT, too.

The HOLY SPIRIT is the REAL TEACHER of ALL.

John 14:26

King James Version

26 But the Comforter, 

which is the Holy Ghost, 

whom the Father will send in my name, 

he shall teach you all things, 

and bring all things to your remembrance, 

whatsoever I have said unto you.

Now, my life is lived differently.

It's all GOD.

It's all JESUS.

It's all HOLY SPIRIT.

The TRIUNE GOD.

This I must tell you.

JESUS is the ONLY WAY BACK to GOD.

SPIRIT is the ONLY TEACHER on JESUS.

GOD is the ONLY FATHER.

JESUS is the ANSWER to EVERYTHING.

His WORD is BALM for the spirit.

And I've got proof.

EVERY verse in the BIBLE is proof.

Of the DIVINITY of JESUS CHRIST.

Of His Sonship.

His Lordship.

His Kingship.

The very things the world makes sure we don't know about.

Once God makes you born again, you will be SEALED by His SPIRIT.

You will never be the same again.

You will thirst for GOD's TRUTH.

And when you find it, you will be magnetized by the POWER of GOD's WORD.

As the LORD JESUS declared:

Matthew 22:29

King James Version

29 Jesus answered 

and said unto them, 

Ye do err, 

not knowing the scriptures, 

nor the power of God.

Let JESUS show you the way.

And I promise you, it will be quite a journey for you, too.

Especially the tired, the heartbroken, the lonely, the confused, the lost, the bitter, the sick, the defeated, the angry, the rebellious, the proud, the idolatrous, the depressed.

The very people JESUS came to earth for.

Luke 19:10

King James Version

10 For the Son of man is come to seek 

and to save 

that which was lost.

Luke 5:32

King James Version

32 I came not to call the righteous, 

but sinners to repentance.

GOD loves all of us.

JESUS did.

That's why He came down from heaven.

John 6:38-40

King James Version

38 For I came down from heaven, 

not to do mine own will, 

but the will of him that sent me.

39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, 

that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, 

but should raise it up again at the last day.

40 And this is the will of him that sent me, 

that every one which seeth the Son, 

and believeth on him, 

may have everlasting life: 

and I will raise him up at the last day.

I prayed to know God's truth.

God led me to His Son.

For His SON is TRUTH.

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, 

the truth, 

and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.

I also prayed to God, asking how I can THANK all of you, for your LOVE.

This post was His idea.

For all who thirst, and hunger for God's truth, for an explanation of what's happening in the world, and for assurance, SPIRIT and I welcome you here!

Come, start reading this now.

And my go-to blog.

The BIBLE's time has come.

There is no more denying it.

The LIFE of a CRAZY BORN AGAIN KID

The Simplicity of the GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST

 

1 Corinthians 15:1-4

King James Version

15 Moreover, brethren, 

I declare unto you the gospel 

which I preached unto you, 

which also ye have received, 

and wherein ye stand;

2 By which also ye are saved, 

if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, 

unless ye have believed in vain.

3 For I delivered unto you first of all 

that which I also received, 

how that Christ died for our sins 

according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, 

and that he rose again the third day 

according to the scriptures:

From that, you can gather the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ was three things, according to apostle Paul:

1. "that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;"

2. "And that he was buried,"

3. "and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:"

How the fallen one makes sure we forget the simplicity of CHRIST's Gospel and legacy, ensuring our salvation.

2 Corinthians 11:3 

King James Version

3 But I fear, 

lest by any means, 

as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, 

so your minds should be corrupted 

from the simplicity that is in Christ.

We are subject to confusion, and obfuscation, for those are the ways of the evil one.

We must hold fast to God, and the WORDS of Jesus, through SCRIPTURE.

The teachings of Jesus are simple, often delivered as parables, so everyone may understand.

Parents and teachers often teach children, through stories, so they may understand life's lessons.

In the same manner, we must be teachable, too.

We must be like little children, completely trusting in the LORD.

Matthew 18:3-5 

King James Version

3 And said, 

Verily I say unto you, 

Except ye be converted, 

and become as little children, 

ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself 

as this little child, 

the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 And whoso shall receive 

one such little child in my name receiveth me.

Let us not be wise to the ways of the world, and thus, end up being foolish:

1 Corinthians 3:18-19 

King James Version

18 Let no man deceive himself. 

If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, 

let him become a fool, 

that he may be wise.

19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. 

For it is written, 

He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

We all labor for God, making sure we get the GOSPEL of Jesus CHRIST right, as could be shown in the life we live, and the work we do -- only if we are CHRIST's.

1 Corinthians 3:9 

King James Version

9 For we are labourers together with God: 

ye are God's husbandry, 

ye are God's building.

Apostle Paul cautions:

1 Corinthians 3:10 

King James Version

"...But let every man take heed 

how he buildeth thereupon."

And in the same vein, he continues, and emphasizes:

1 Corinthians 3:11 

King James Version

11 For other foundation can no man lay 

than that is laid, 

which is Jesus Christ.

JESUS is our ONLY foundation.

The GOSPEL of Jesus Christ is the one which we must build our lives and work from -- our belief that the LORD Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and rose on the third day. 

Let no one distort, nor pervert, the Gospel of JESUS Christ, for the wrath of God is sure upon us:

Galatians 1:6-9

King James Version

6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed 

from him that called you into the grace of Christ 

unto another gospel:

7 Which is not another; 

but there be some that trouble you, 

and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8 But though we, 

or an angel from heaven, 

preach any other gospel unto you 

than that which we have preached unto you, 

let him be accursed.

9 As we said before, 

so say I now again, 

if any man preach any other gospel unto you 

than that ye have received, 

let him be accursed.

The warning has been sounded, may we take heed, for God knows ALL we think, say, and do.

May it glorify Him, and not ourselves.

Why are we so beholden to the world, when there is only God?

1 Corinthians 3:19-20

King James Version

19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. 

For it is written, 

He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

20 And again, 

The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, 

that they are vain.

If we wish to have eternal life with Jesus, then we follow Him alone.

We must drop anything, and everything, that is not of Christ.

Again, Jesus says it so SIMPLY here:

John 14:15 

King James Version

15 If ye love me, 

keep my commandments.

Of course, we cannot accept the simplicity of the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ, much less love Him, unless we have been born of water, and spirit -- only then can we understand SPIRIT.

John 3:3-8 

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, 

I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, 

How can a man be born when he is old? 

can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, 

and be born?

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, 

I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, 

and thou hearest the sound thereof, 

but canst not tell whence it cometh, 

and whither it goeth: 

so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Then, and only then, upon embracing Christ in full, can we know this, and be this:

1 Corinthians 3:23 

King James Version

23 And ye are Christ's; 

and Christ is God's.

AMEN!

The Ideal Way of Life

 

1 Blessed is the man 

that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, 

nor standeth in the way of sinners, 

nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; 

and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, 

that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; 

his leaf also shall not wither; 

and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

Psalm 1:1-3 

King James Version

What would be the ideal way of life for you?

Only you can answer that.

And only God would know what your real answers are.

You answer to the LORD alone.

For myself, since I've committed my life to Jesus, I found that a simple life -- simpler than I already have been living -- works for me.

The only objective, being to be able to focus completely on the Lord.

Fortunately, I've always been a person who can sit quietly, alone, for hours on end, not looking to occupy myself with things of the world.

My whole life seems to be cut out for simplicity, solitude, and study.

God also gave me a life filled with myriad challenges, which have taught me much.

I chose to let it teach me, and I must say it's a wonderful feeling to "reverse" thinking.

Where it would break other people, I chose that it teach me instead.

You have to believe in something GREATER than yourself, so you can keep going.

And I always sought the SUPERLATIVE -- the greatest.

Who better than to focus on GOD, the mighty, and powerful God of my childhood, and practically all my life!

God trained my heart, mind, body, and spirit to serve Him, even as errors from the past had to be brought to His Son, Jesus, for forgiveness.

But peace reigns in my heart now, more than ever.

A person used to solitude, and thinking independently of others, doesn't need much to live on.

And when you serve Christ, aiming to follow His Will, making sure you get things right, the joy is immeasurable.

It is not difficult to follow Christ, for throughout my life, I've questioned the nonsensical demands of the world.

I would often question its ways, and wonder how people could live comfortably, and refuse to see the plight of their less fortunate brothers and sisters.

Because of my love for low-cost housing, I researched on alternative ways of building homes for people in my country.

A lady lawmaker was even ready to fund my ideas for her province, but I suppose, I wasn't ready then.

What I do have are ideas, and research.

And perhaps, I have the heart to fulfill those, at a time God chooses, and in a manner He sees fit.

But no sooner.

Had I been ready then, I would have poured my whole life into it.

But God knew I still had much to learn in life, and the lessons continued.

Somehow, I knew that I would teach.

I knew that I would also write.

I was always cut out for both.

God also created me to teach and write differently.

He knew I liked to simplify things, for I didn't believe in wasting other people's time, nor confusing people.

I had respect for the intelligence of people.

I also knew I would not get rich, in the worldly sense of the word.

I questioned too much.

I was not a "player", who would follow blindly.

Perhaps, you are the same?

Are you the type to question the "system"?

I'm glad.

God likes people who set out for TRUTH.

God likes people who care.

I know that if we all took it upon our hearts to love each other, with God in our hearts, there would be no hunger, poverty, misery, and crime.

When I became a follower of Jesus last year, all my thoughts and feelings were further reinforced, that the fallen one has really made sure people forgot God.

This enemy of Christ made sure people were distracted with material things, and that their hearts, minds, bodies, and spirits were distorted -- and farthest away from God.

But Jesus is the LIGHT of the world.

When your heart awakens, you will surely seek HIM.

And when you find Him, you will forever be changed.

You will know how to live, how to love, how to serve, how to worship, how to pray.

The Holy Spirit of God will show you everything you need to know, in order to survive in this fallen world.

You will be mocked, tested, doubted, maybe even impoverished, but keep strong.

The LORD has your back.

Better than that, He's got your heart, and you have HIS.

That's the ideal way to live.

Something God Likes

6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: 

for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, 

and that he is a rewarder of them 

that diligently seek him.

Hebrews 11:6 

King James Version

I bothered God, night and day.

I kept bugging Him about His TRUTH.

I was such a pest, asking to know His Truth alone.

I couldn't accept man's truth, for if it were, how come the world is the way it is today?

How come, as that cliche said, the rich kept getting richer, the poor kept getting poorer? How come people were so corrupt?

Something was definitely not adding up.

The little I knew about JESUS then, showed how simply He lived.

How come, the world lived ostentatiously?

So, I kept going back to God, night and day.

Please, what was HIS Truth? 

I'd leave so many projects, work, and colleagues who I felt didn't represent kindness, and fairness, to others.

I didn't care if I lost money, or potential income.

I wasn't about to lose my soul. 

Of course, the world always makes sure true followers of CHRIST will be crushed. 

This world belongs to the fallen one.

My father taught me never to "sell" out, not for any price.

He showed that by example, as he faithfully served his patients each day. 

I'm glad my father was my teacher as I developed strength of mind and spirit.

Strength, by the SPIRIT, was to be developed later on. 

I didn't fit by the world's "standards", which didn't bother me a bit. 

This blog, which I created on 24 November 2018, is but one proof of that fervent search for God's TRUTH.

God finally took pity on this barnacle, who wouldn't let up, so He sent the Holy Spirit to my rescue, one day in September 2019.

That led me to voluntarily follow Jesus, as a born-again Christian, and the lessons from the HS filled my life for nearly 11 months now.

You see, God searches our heart.

The Bible shows many verses of it.

He doesn't look inside your pocket, or check your walls or shelves for your diplomas, trophies, or accomplishments.

God doesn't check how many cars or houses you have, or how much you have in the bank.

Neither does God care how many likes and followers you have on social media, or if you're a business, entertainment, sports, or political mogul.

If anything, those weigh down your soul.

God only cares about your heart.

Does your heart beat for Him?

Or do you beat Him out of your heart?

When things don't add up in the world, you will start looking for ULTIMATE answers.

That Answer has always been GOD.

Talk to Him in your own way.

He likes that.

Be like a child, and ask Him questions. 

Bug Him, like I did.

Keep asking God for His TRUTH. 

God searches your heart, for that fervent desire to know Him.

As I was in search of God's TRUTH, He, too, was searching my heart for my truth.

What did I stand for?

What did I wish to learn?

Why was this learning important to me?

What was I up to?

Of course, God being God, He KNEW all that beforehand, but He wanted me to surrender ALL knowledge to Him.

Nothing is hidden from God's eyes.

If your heart is true, and you really wish to know EVERYTHING about God, you can be SURE an answer will be forthcoming.

It may take time, or it may be in an instant.

Only God knows WHEN, or HOW -- for His own PERFECT reasons.

Keep your heart's desire focused on God alone, and He will answer you in a way that you alone can understand.

Stay away from people who say "they" are the way.

Only JESUS is the Way back to God.

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, 

the truth, 

and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, 

but by me.

John 14:6 (KJV)

Precisely why God made me born again.

Jesus said I had to be born of water and of the Spirit.

Now, the Holy Spirit's been instructing me things about God, all by reading the BIBLE.

You see, God's instructions were there, all along.

P.S. It seems God likes what I wrote here. He "supported" my findings by showing up as "Verse for the Day" on Bible Gateway: 

1 Samuel 16:7

King James Version

7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, 

Look not on his countenance, 

or on the height of his stature; 

because I have refused him: 

for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; 

for man looketh on the outward appearance, 

but the Lord looketh on the heart.

Updated 21 January 2022

Strength in Jesus

Prayer to JESUS
Where do you wish
to take this heart of mine
that has YOU in it?

I'm just beginning to know Jesus.

Since I became a born-again Christian nearly 11 months ago, I'm beginning to know the LORD.

He has showed up in my dreams at least several times, decades ago.

In those dreams, He was the golden light filling the doorway, the Jesus in place of the emerald tabernacle at my favorite church, the landlord, and the path that I have "walked before".

Strange that last one.

I still haven't decoded that first dream.

But I think He had been keeping an eye on me, and once, I saw the LORD in my dream, His hands outstretched by his sides, looking at me, saying nothing.

But He also showed me how it was to be for me in another dream, where precariously narrow steps led up to a second-floor doorway, filled with golden light.

Those steps were so narrow, you can only put one foot in front of the other, one at a time, with the steps cantilevered from the wall.

Try imagining that as you go up the stairs.

There was only the wall to the left, with the white dove painted on it, the narrow, wooden steps attached to the wall, and that doorway filled with light.

There was no railing for support.

That dream was decades ago, and true enough, my life reflected all the challenges that came with those almost impossible stairs.

The Lord also showed me many dreams and images of what is to happen, what is happening, and my role in it.

How do I know these things were of Christ?

Well, I had not bought into the world, thus, the many challenges.

19 If ye were of the world, 

the world would love his own: 

but because ye are not of the world, 

but I have chosen you out of the world, 

therefore the world hateth you.

John 15:19 

King James Version

Fortunately, my father taught me well, how not to sell out, how to endure, how to have fortitude.

Of course, God chose my parents, for they will be teaching me as I grew up.

Every circumstance of my life was perfectly-designed by God, for teaching, learning, wisdom, and correction.

He also knew I had a cheerful heart.

I taught myself to look at the brighter, funnier side of life when things looked bleak.

Perhaps, that's His God gene in me.

Of course, that gene got more pronounced as I got older, most especially when I became a born-again Christian in the fall of last year.

I just wish I turned to Him when I was in pain during my earlier years, not knowing where to turn to.

In those days, I had no idea.

No one told me the beautiful things about God, that I finally learned through the Holy Spirit in September 2019.

God waits for us to go to Him for our pain. 

Only God can cure our pain, for it is not just pain of the body, the heart, the mind, but also the soul, and the spirit.

That's what God does.

He allows suffering, so your soul will wake up.

He doesn't enjoy that we suffer.

There is no vindictive bone in God's body.

24 God is a Spirit: 

and they that worship him 

must worship him in spirit 

and in truth.

John 4:24 

King James Version

It is our ignorance and stubbornness that gets us into trouble.

And when you finally embrace Christ in full, as born again, prepare yourself for God's TRUTH, through the Holy Spirit.

Would I live my life all over again, the same way, knowing what I know now?

Is there any other life that would have taught me so much, so long, and so lasting?

Is there any other life that has tested the mettle of my spirit, and my love and devotion to God, my family, and my work, despite my many imperfections and errors?

This is the life I was given.

I take it.

I accept it.

I thank God for it.

It is a beautiful life created for God.

May I live up to His expectations.

He created me, as He created you -- in Their image and likeness.

God doesn't make mistakes.

We do.

And yet, in His divine mercy, He sent us His SON Jesus, He sent us the Holy SPIRIT to teach us, and He's always there for us.

I believe all that to be true.

The WORD of God -- Scripture -- tells me so.

And the dreams and images He gave me, told me so, too.

I feel the love, and the protection.

One day, I'll be able to tell you more.

For now, I live the life I'm given, I follow the path of Jesus, I listen to the Holy Spirit, and I love God even more.

How can this life be anything but beautiful!
