WORDS OF HOPE

What's the similarity between  pottery  and human beings?  Both are made of clay and they are also molded. And the difference? Humans have breath of life in them while pottery does not. Pottery is baked in order for it to harden. Humans are tested and tempted in order for them to be strengthened. When you are tested, you improve upon yourself but when you are tempted; you sin. Through the tests, you demonstrate trust in God. Well.... Everything you go through builds you up; you only need to trust God.

What do you believe in? How do you know that things would work? I base on experience but most times i just believe. How did you know that fire could cook food? Experience. How did you know that you would make it through out the day? Believe. Scientist believe in a cure because of their numerous tests that have succeeded. People submit themselves to God or a god because  experience has proven it worth it. Scientists would always conduct experiments because they believe in proven hypothesis. What should Christians do? Has God not proven beyond doubt that he is able? Why can't we just believe?

Slow and steady wins the race. If a tortoise and a hare should race, who do you think would win? There's no doubt it would the hare but it's been proven otherwise.  In reality, a couple of people organized a race for a tortoise and a hare, the tortoise won while the hare was being distracted by the crowd. We get  distracted all the time, sometimes we recover but at other times we don't. Distractions are necessary when you are stressed with life's issues but when you are suppose to be focused; they are bad. We all have one focus; fulfill our purpose in life so please don't get distracted  or you would live the rest of your life with regrets.

Why did God? Why did he take his time to mold man and breath into him? Why didn't he just name all the animals? Why didn't he just create Adam and Eve at the same time? Why did he warn man to stay off a fruit he knew man would eat? Why didn't he just give Noah a built ark? There are so many whys. He is a mystery you can't unravel. He took his time to create man, out of love. He gave man the task to name animals because he wanted  man to be knowledgeable. He created Adam first in order to get Adam well established and prepared,  before receiving Eve. In the garden, He gave us a choice to obey or disobey him. Noah had to work for the ark because there was a need for evidence of His miracles. He's always going to be mysterious, you don't need to understand; just believe and trust him.

When the boat was sinking he was asleep. He was right there in the mist of the fear and panic. He only acted when they woke him up. When we encounter troubles and fear and panic grip us; he would be with us. He would only act when we call him.

Don't judge God based on what you see others go through. He doesn't need a man to be the God he is. Everyone has a different experience with God, how can you tell what God has done for someone? Focus on your life, serve God if you want to; He would still be God. In this world, it's you and only you and God.

No one needs to tell you that it would end soon. Perhaps, your life would get better, your situations would improve and you might get all your heart desires in some time to come but that doesn't mean that the world would exist forever. Nobody knows when it would all end but you know, and I know that it would. When that time comes, there would be only one refuge, God.
