My dear friends

The way I see it we have finite minds that struggle with virtually everything, but if we had an infinite mind the answer to every conceivable question, thought, experience etc would lead to the ultimate conclusion - God is Love.

God is Love- is the answer to everything. It seems very few people realise this with so many abandoning or betraying God, questioning or doubting God or even worse.

We’re weak and fallen and very finite but in all trials and not just the good times when we ask questions, are confused, have doubts or misunderstandings and the like we need to understand that if we were more intelligent we would know the answer to everything is - God is Love.

I just thought I’d share that with you. It may help some.

Your thoughts and comments are welcome.

May God who is Love bless us all:thumbsup:🙂

Dear John Russell Jr,

I think it goes back to the other thread on trying to understand how the Kingdom of God belongs to children such as these.

Love is unconditional and children seem to have unconditional love for their parent such as God has unconditional love for us. Why is it so hard for us to have unconditional love for God through all of what He gave us out of unconditional love?
I even know a few boys who love their critters.

Always praying and pondering

Because we are weak, our natures fallen. That is why we fall, that is why our love is weak. But we can exchange our weakness for God’s Goodness.
 
Hi John Russel,

I gotz this for ya;

Isaiah 35
The Ransomed Shall Return
1(A) The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad;
(B) the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus;
2it shall blossom abundantly
and rejoice with joy and singing.
(C) The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it,
the majesty of(D) Carmel and(E) Sharon.
(F) They shall see the glory of the LORD,
the majesty of our God.
3(G) Strengthen the weak hands,
and make firm the feeble knees.
4Say to those who have an anxious heart,
“Be strong; fear not!
(H) Behold, your God
will come with vengeance,
with the recompense of God.
He will come and save you.”

5(I) Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
and the ears of the deaf unstopped;
6(J) then shall the lame man leap like a deer,
and the tongue of the mute sing for joy.
(K) For waters break forth in the wilderness,
and streams in the desert;
7(L) the burning sand shall become a pool,
and the thirsty ground springs of water;
in the haunt of(M) jackals, where they lie down,
the grass shall become reeds and rushes.

8(N) And a highway shall be there,
and it shall be called the Way of Holiness;
(O) the unclean shall not pass over it.
It shall belong to those who walk on the way;
even if they are fools, they shall not go astray.[a]
9No lion shall be there,
nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it;
they shall not be found there,
but the redeemed shall walk there.
10(P) And the ransomed of the LORD shall return
and come to Zion with singing;
(Q) everlasting joy shall be upon their heads;
they shall obtain gladness and joy,
and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Dear Eucharisted,

May I ask you to please clarify for me what you mean when you say we can exchange our weakness for God’s Goodness?
I think I understand you but want to make sure.

Thank you in advance,

Always praying and pondering

My dear friend

I’m not a theologian but its my opinion the thing that will make it impossible for us to sin in heaven is that we will know what- God is Love, means as perfectly as we can and continue to understand this better and better eternally. An answer to overcoming sin is to really grow to learn and appreciate this better. The greater our sanctity the better we understand this and this is why Saints don’t sin or overcome sin. Not just because they see how evil sin is but for the far more excellent motive of really knowing and understanding God. God is infinite Love dear friend. Because it is infinite we can never know it fully but we can always know it better by the same token. If you want to overcome sin and this may partially answer your question to Eucharisted - you just need to get to know God really well. The more we really understand and appreciate God is Love and do what this moves us to do the less we sin, if we sin at all.

God bless you dear friend:thumbsup:🙂

By exchanging our weakness for God’s Goodness, I mean three things:

A) Offer up our weakness to God and ask for His Strength, His Spirit, His Mercy, His Grace, and His Love

B) Plunge ourselves and our sins in the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which is the Abyss of Love and Mercy*

C) Rely entirely upon and trust and hope in God, who is Omnipotent, Unchanging, and Thrice-Holy
