A ‘web book’ look
🌴
under a tree
wondering to be
beyond the lee
amid the sea
outside of me
untethered and free
Many of us are drawn to the heavens. I imagine we’re the only species on the planet that dreams of outer space adventure!
What created this outer notion inside our inner brain? Perhaps it’s love for notional outer space adventure. Perhaps it’s the delusional nature of our cerebral cortex. Or perhaps we’ve developed an inner notion of an outer evolution… God knows!
if the moon were to speak
would it not be humbling…
all our howling
rebounding…
Early On
Before writing was invented… rocks, plants and animals roamed the planet having been created by the uncaused Cause of the universe, who is infinitely more than a pronoun. In “His” infinite Devine designing wisdom He knew the complete life cycle of all Creation… to the smallest detail… start to finish, even before He “spoke” the universe into existence. Which is just a wee bit beyond human comprehension. None of us can know God fully, but thankfully, He knows each one of us inside and out. That truth alone, is reason enough for inner peace when love is dominant at our core.
God bestowed spirit along with self-awareness to “His” creatures providing us with instinct, reason and purpose. Humans stand out from the other animals only because we were made with an awareness of the Creator. We have His “image” built in. We can emotionally ‘see’ God in everything. Perhaps “seeing” most obviously in the starry night sky.
Our “image” of our Designer begins to come into focus when we look beyond ourselves towards others. At birth, we get our first closeup glimpse of God in our parent’s eyes. As we grow, so does our inner and outer horizon.
Renderings
Here in the USA, native Americans worshipped God in a natural way. The European settlers worshipped God in their way and the founding fathers politically made religious freedom a guaranteed reality.
But the Devil’s been pursuing us. We’re faced with choices between what’s good and bad every day. God helps us to make more good choices than bad when we quietly listen to Him and dismiss the Devil. The challenge is knowing who you’re listening to.
The reward is love and healing when we fully understand the feeling in the spiritual messaging. God good. Devil bad. It’s our responsibility to know and act on the difference.
Us and our planet are intrinsically attached. Satan has been after the world since his beginning. The Devil is closer than ever to success with many of us. But it’s not the Devil’s fault. God set the stage. We are merely actors playing out our self-governed uniquely independent roles. When we listen for the Stage Master’s reassuring voice and dismiss the heckler in the audience we are better able to enjoy life’s show.
Satan’s strength
is focused by our hate
Earth started out as God’s creation. It still is. Humans are free-willed ‘gardeners’ of the planet.
Spiritually, we can detrimentally connect with Satan or we can healthily connect with the Holy Spirit. We connect physically through the myriad of everything that makes up the universe. Horrific storms and pleasant blue sky days come to mind. Satan’s a destructive storm… the Holy Spirit is a beautiful blue sky with a few puffy white clouds thrown in for grins.
Love is practiced by many. Hate can be overcome because at the heart of everything is Love. God created everything with love but gave us the propensity to hate as a filter to keep evil from heaven. We get to decide who we are following. The good guy or the bad guy. We can feel and know the difference between love and hate in our spiritual heart.
We are designed with the good that binds our resolve to achieve and the bad that strengthens our resilience to challenge…
Casting Light
Mainstream Christianity follows a writing in the Bible book of John wherein he writes that only believers in Christ will go to heaven. I did NOT get that same message from Jesus Christ’s words.
God’s strength
is focused by our love
The Bible contains God’s Messaging and it’s also a catalog of inspiring and inspired stories. The heart of the Bible is the recordings of God and Jesus Christ. Those supernatural aspects of the Bible are Divinely Holy. Much of the Bible writings are not Divine. We’re old enough now to discern the difference. That’s the message God has given me. The message is that He loves us ALL… not just a select few. God is the Great Healer promoting goodness in life. Satan is the ‘self’ inflammatory used car wheeler dealer selling death. We’re all subject to the Devil’s influence. Focusing on loving others is Jesus Christ’s guidepost to living a spiritually happy, successful, and fulfilling life.
Satan’s influence will ultimately vanish in God’s time.
