Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Finding A Positive Path For Spiritual Living

By Sarah Sullivan


Books would give you knowledge. Knowledge would guide you to the right course of actions. No, they only contain words of opinions and recommendations. Whether they are the right answers to your problems or not, the last words would come from your mouth. Try not to seek a Positive Path for Spiritual Living. There is no easy way. It would always be hard. Even the positive paths have tons of challenges and problems. It will never be perfect or peaceful.

As long as you know God, that is enough. You could start there. As for yourself, try to follow the path that you have right now. Follow your instincts. Reading the bible and the advice of God is a good thing. They would surely give you a confidence, especially, on your actions and your decisions.

If you truly love Him, you have to learn how to stand in your own feet. You got to understand yourself, your mistakes, and your surroundings. There is a journey that you need to take and to overcome. God set this journey to help you become a wonderful person. You should trust Him and move forward.

However, if being righteous highly suffocates you to the point that it is already dragging you down, you need to let go. Know how to face the situation using your own strengths and instincts. God allows detours. That is your life, after all. Spend it the way you see it.

This might sound very bossy, especially, coming from His servant. However, you cannot just worry too much about money or other worldly problems. They are something more valuable and important than that. God, your relationships, your health, for sure, these things greatly matter.

Therefore, try to move forward. Believe Him. If you do that, even death would never scare you. Just keep on asking their guidance whenever you find yourself absolutely lost. As much as you can do, learn to face your problems using the skills and talent given by the Lord. The Lord would not send His royal servants to give you answers to the problems.

Despite that, though, assure that He will never abandon you. To begin with, He would never give you any challenges that you could overcome. He has given you strengths to make a wise decision. Just be yourself. Do not let this foolish world change your attitude and beliefs for the worse. If you are going to change, only change for the better.

Loneliness is a real pain. They are a real headache. Ignoring them is like ignoring your humanity and your life. Therefore, never throw them. You could never understand the Lord, especially, if you cannot understand your sufferings and your surroundings. If this keeps up, you would only be blinded by His Glory and brightness.

You better have some confidence in yourself. Try not to be too stressed. Life is so short. If you could enjoy it to the fullest, try to enjoy it. Know when to let go of unnecessary feelings and to hold on to wonderful and beautiful things. You are not born in a crucial world. Only humans are the one who makes this world complicated. Try not to believe easily on these words. Find your own answer yourself.
