User ID: 2046149 United States 10/12/2011 04:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thats amazing! I've had times where god has just curb stomped me. I learn from it everytime. Just around and I'll be there, I'm moving into your atmosphere. Romans 8:39 Any other living thing cannot keep us away from the love of God which is ours through Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, ""Abba," Father." Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions. –Romans 14:1 Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. |

Something to think about. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3165839 That doesn't say much for god does it? So much pain and suffering....according to "his word," he is almighty and has dominion over all. BBUUUUUTTTT he doesn't. He allows people to suffer, even to the point of having the thought of "Im so ready for this life to be over." I think Epicurus said it best... “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?” but other than Religious people think about this quote and come to a shocking realization, they will attack me, because god is all the hope they have....and that is sad. |

User ID: 1785478 United States 10/12/2011 04:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | After a very stressful morning caring for my father who has Alzheimer’s and splitting my last $24 with my wife for gas with little to no income on the horizon (the real estate market sucks and I am a broker), my wife said as I was going out the door for work, “I am so ready for this life to be over.” I had agreed, stating that “it wasn’t much of one, that’s for sure.” I had hit rock bottom. When I stopped for gas, I was worried about running out later in the week, and our insurance lapsing, and the check engine light on my dash, and my breaks needing to be replaced and so on and so on and so on. While I was pumping my gas, an obvious drug addled and homeless guy in his late teens to early 20's came up and begged for change. I told him, "sorry man I just put my last dime in the tank." I started to get even more depressed. I got into my car feeling like the world was falling down on my shoulders. I looked down and realized I had a bunch of change in the console. Then I remembered bits of a story I had once heard about Jesus or an angel posing as a beggar, who asked someone for help and was turned away. I called the guy over and gave him the change. He then asked if I knew anyone who was hiring, I told him Walmart and Staples, he said, "I can't work for them because I don't have address right now.” That was when God smacked me in the face, with the realization that I actually have it pretty good. I pulled out of the gas station praying for that kid instead of myself. Quoting: FrogBlogger Just something to think about. Thanks for sharing, touching, i will share with my wife “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." - Albert Einstein “You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.” - Dr. Seuss "In the seventeenth chapter of St. Luke, it is written that the kingdom of God is within man, not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you!" - Charlie Chaplin |

User ID: 2310107 United States 10/12/2011 04:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's when we're at our most desperate that we can see God most clearly. Don't look at it as suffering. We're supposed to depend on God for everything. (Trust me, I know exactly how you feel. We live paycheck to paycheck too. My husband works, and I'm currently looking for work.) When things are going great, we don't seek Him as much as we should because we don't feel like we need Him. Just pray and trust in Him every day. He will take care of you. God bless you and your family, OP. And God bless that young man too. |

Now, take that smack and realize that everything that is going on right now is of your own making. Your thoughts create emotions, your emotions create actions or inactions, your actions or inactions create your reality. Get rid of all the negative thoughts, replace them with thankfulness and happiness and positive thoughts and watch your problems melt away as YOU create a new reality for yourself. God is trying to wake you up, but with free will, you must make the choice. Just something else to think about. |

Dear One, God does not interfere in the lives of those souled creatures that embraced duality without first someone knocking on his door. Free will is a curse of duality that seperates us from God. God does not want us to suffer but our own choices create our suffering, God wont interfere with what humanity has chosen through freewill. It was human choice that caused and still causes suffering an evil. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 3159876 Mexico 10/12/2011 06:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | one i can remember now days was an old homless couple walking by the hand, when i pass them in the car, i felt an enormous need of helping them, but when i turned they where gone.. still remember them.. and still feel the need of helping them.. i try to not pass by when this feel appears again, but keep failing. past saturday had only a few coins in my pocket and out of the mall there was a guy asking for change and told him had nothing. when to my car and there was another guy searching the garbage cans for food, that was painfull so i went back to the store looking for something to buy with my coins and there was nothing that cheap so came out willing to give him the money but was gone, so ended giving it to the first guy.. i hate when this feeling strikes me (I may be a fool).. |
