Do you know who you are?
The Creation
We were created originally by divine plan, perfect, complete and beautiful.
The Choice
Mankind had a choice believe that man was created by a loving creator, or believe that man was an accident.
The Decision
Mankind chose to believe he was an accident.
The effects
Believing that we are an accident of nature takes away any responsibility for our behavior. While some believe we are continually getting better, we are in fact deteriorating in morals and spirituality. More knowledge seems to corrupt us even more.
Men of science have decided that we descend from animals, and that gives us an excuse for acting like animals. We have no firm standard so we flounder around helplessly.
The Plan
The Creator out of love gave us a set of standards to help us see the need for Him.
We in our false pride decided that the standards were a way to make us perfect. And again we deceived ourselves.
The Bridge
The reality is there is no such thing as perfection except in the Divine.
Many Prophets over time have tried to show us that but we have always misunderstood them because it is too simple. Our pride is in the way.
Christ was the incarnation of the Divine and lived our life and died for us so that we can understand who we really are in the Divine. He has become the bridge to span the gulf between the Divine and mankind.
The New Life
We are not getting better and we can not get better over many lifetimes. The truth is we need to accept who we really are and become one with the divine letting his perfection shine through us. Listening to that still small voice deep with in us all, to guide our life as we come to the realization of just who and what we are.
The way to do this is quit! Yes quit! Quit struggling. Quit trying to be something you are not! Trying will ultimately bring defeat and depression.
Stop now and "be still and know that I am God" the bible says! That is the key to a new beginning. He will show you the way if you learn to listen to his still small voice!
