I know this is not so popular, but it is a warning to all of us here that take the time to read these posts. I recently posted a possibility of the parallax perspective of our moon, this was incorrect. If we were to be experiencing the Moon from a parallax perspective, the Moon would be in our North view. The Moon though, according to my picture, is obviously very far to our South. What this means is that the Moon is trending South as the Sun trends North.
I know that being positive is a huge part of life and our coexistence with others. Though this news is not positive, it is REAL. It is not sugar-coated and served to you with cookie dough. I am posting this because I love all of us, here on this world we were brought into. With all the hate and injustice we experience on a daily, keeping an optimistic outlook is not only necessary, it is part of our way of life. Though optimism without truth and understanding is only self-deception. Being true to one's self is key to ascension.
Mat 7:13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.
Mat 7:14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
My posting is not meant to be popular, each and everyone of us is meant to open the eyes of those who can't see. Though my love is for my true God, we all are his children, and through the patterns of this world we are consistently overloaded with trials we must experience, on his behalf. Without them we are neither useful nor worth his attention. If our lives are structured around our own selfish posturing what good are we to the hive?
Romans
Chapter 12
A Living Sacrifice to God
And so, dear brothers and sisters,* I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.* 2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
3 Because of the privilege and authority* God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.* 4 Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, 5 so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other.
6 In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. 7 If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. 8 If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.
9 Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. 10 Love each other with genuine affection,* and take delight in honoring each other. 11 Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.* 12 Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. 13 When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them. 15 Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all!
17 Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. 18 Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.
19 Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say,“I will take revenge;
I will pay them back,”*
says the Lord.
20 Instead,
“If your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this, you will heap
burning coals of shame on their heads.”*
21 Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good."
Awareness, compassion and love is the ultimate homage we can pay to the creator of this world. While we are experiencing the real effects of the changes of this world, it seems love and compassion is waning as war and hatred wax. By holding on to awareness, the people of this world can reject the seemingly acceptable reasons to conform to the hatred and violence fed to us through the media and government officials. We can all be a part of the solution, we can all fight this insanity by not feeding the beast. Love each other and spread truth. Stop accepting the deception, live life with open eyes and enjoy all that has been given to us. The beauty and amazing wonders here seem to be unending, love his gift.
To those that live in hatred, I love you and despise how evil has twisted your minds. Living life through lies and deception will only destroy your ability to love and see the absolute beauty gifted to us. I can not imagine living through the eyes of disgust and fear. Acceptance is fearless and empowering. Fear is violent and deceptive. Try not to be deceived, as hard as it may be - accept those who have different viewpoints. Perspective is what fuels the Lord, we each have our own way we see the world. Some see things that others do not.
Derek, you're speaking with love in your heart. Your message is inspiring.
