Missing God and the old neighborhood
I'm not sure I understand this whole 'let's come to earth, get a body and see how we do thing'. There is so much pain here... and WE live in the better part of the world.
Why does there have to be desease, tragic accidents, murders, torturings...why all the violence. Isn't it enough to come here and try to live together in peace without all the drama and heartache?
Think how hard it is to just get along with the people you actually love...we complicate our lives with lies, deceit, abuse....we more often than not, treat the people we "love" with disregard.
It seems to me that we need a higher power as a guide to help us handle this experience in life. Why all the separation...is it not possible for us to grow in his light and presence?
And don't even get me started on our loved ones who are taken in death....What purpose does that fullfill? Just more heartache and sorrow... always the commings and goings....why can't we all be together, living and proving ourselves, without the partition?
Case in point: We know we should exercise, not overeat, not smoke, etc. but we still do. Do you really think that just because we know the beginning from the end that we would be different people and make different choices?
We are who we are....what is, is...and if we change, it's only because we want to change, not because we know any better. With or without God's presence, we will continue to be who we are....just look at Satan and the choices he made! He was in God's presence and he still was a butt.
....Life isn't fair and there is no great equalizer. There were greater people than me in heaven, and there's greater people than me here on earth. There are those who float through life with little heartache and those for who every single day is a challenge just to breathe. Where's the fairness? People are always playing catch-up... there is always someone better off than you and someone worse off.
How is it possible to ever feel good about yourself...you either haven't attained enough, or you have too much.
If God knows us from the beginning to the end then what is there to prove. He already knows the choices we're going to make...and I think we do, too.
So maybe we could just get on with things....
There...I feel much better now.
