Also, I wanted to write. This is it, this is the battleground for souls, this is life, so don’t take it lightly. I often find myself praying for others, that they may have discernment and that they have transformative experiences.
I remember a girl in high school in the nineties who rejected all religion. One of the things she pointed out was that religion made life harder. She wanted all out parties and hedonism. Years later this didn’t turn out well for her as she couldn’t get her life started and had to overcome addiction. Last I spoke with her through chat on Facebook, she was still anti God. I couldn’t reach her, all the things about religion that made life hard for her as a kid if followed would had lead to a better outcome.
Life is inherently unfair, this is devil’s playground and he wants souls. This doesn’t mean that anyone who searches sincerely from any background or social class won’t find solace. Seek and he shall find, knock and keep on knocking and God will answer. We all start out unequally, some with greater advantages or talents than others, but what does the talent, wealth, money and looks matter without salvation?
Once more a simple wise soul that is average but hard working and open hearted is at a greater advantage without these talents. Music, Publishing, Finance, Business, Movies are all filled with bad people. Best to live a simple life free from sin and in the company of good people than a musician or an actor in Hollywood. I don’t condemn them or envy them. I am just grateful that I am who I am with my perspective and that God has been with me. Again, the door is open to anyone, the path may appear difficult but there are milestones and miracles along the way and the reward is worth it.
