I have had a lot of ups and downs in my life, it seems that more downs than ups in the last ten years. Ive experienced some incredible things that alerted me to the presence of God around me. I have acted in many odd ways towards this knowledge; thinking myself grand, thinking myself chosen, thinking myself damned or cursed or blessed. I have considered all sorts of things and in the process have learned a few things I wish to share with you here.
First of all one needs to examine the self, and the actions that one has taken, and take responsibility for them. This is not easy, for the depths of sin and wickedness are deep and nuanced. Even though I knew there was a God and I knew that I had been called out of the dark it took me over ten years to realize true humility before God. Thats a long time!
When we realize how frail and sinful we are and sincerely repent it, I believe that God will develop trust with us over time. I look at this country now and think "My how sinful we have become" and I pray that this is not our undoing. Our artists and politicians and writers and champions are at the least irreligious and at the worst, vulgar.
I also realized that God wants of us to be good. In this age where common decency is not so common, how do we turn to what is good when all around is is evil? I implore you to search your hearts on the matter.
I also implore you to start praying and communicating with the good and holy God, from whom all things come. Remember to be humble and repentant.
Trust that God is all knowing and can see through your delusions, and that God is also patient and understanding and fair. I ask this of you because I want everyone to be at peace, and to be goodly to one another.
This is primarily what I have learned these last few months. Thank you for letting me share.
