The world we live in is one with its problems, its beautiful landscapes in nature and a system that sustains life for which mankind can exist. It offers riches and poverty, health and sickness across all walks of life. The world we live in challenges and subjects us to its rules of human wisdom that we think is right, yet so many are confused and left to live a life without meaning, purpose or direction. We see open sin and destruction without end, its not getting any better. To be honest when all is said and done, this world really hasn't much to offer to make us better people. That is left for individuals to develop from a set of principles and beliefs beginning with childhood. And maybe, just maybe you will one day hear Gods calling, His gentle and powerful voice through the reading of His word and humble prayer asking Him to help you sort it out.
Here is a particular thought of a worldly manner that offers nothing whatsoever yet is a prominent belief in this world.
We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.
Do you live by illusion, and alone, or with reality and hope? Its a sad and scary thought to resolve there is no hope and no togetherness on the inside. The inside is where it counts most and only God can fill its yearning. This is the spirit of our existence crying out for He who made us.
The apostle Paul in the following scripture verse reminds Christians that we have a Heavenly home waiting for us after our physical life comes to an end. In fact we are eager to finally see the Lord Jesus Christ actually transform our bodies like His into our eternal home.
Philippians 3:17-21,
"Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern. For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things. For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself."
May your faith always increase in the Lord...
