The Unseen God

Have you ever wondered why God is invisible? Why can’t we just see Him or even hear Him? Wouldn’t it have been better to be able to hear exactly what He wants us to do in our lives? But then again, do we really want that to happen?

The truth is that God is not invisible! He is only invisible because we wanted Him that way. We don’t want God meddling in our affairs or even showing His approval or disapproval in what we do. We want independence and freedom. We want to be apart from God!

Yet is God really apart from us? Not at all. God is watching us ever more closely, though with a veil so as not to be seen by those who don’t want to see Him. But in moments when we can’t take it anymore, in those moments in our lives when we’ve done all we could and achieved everything we felt like achieving and still felt empty, God is still there, ready to listen and to take us back. All we need is to approach the unseen God so we can finally see clearly the meaning of our lives.

What Destiny Awaits You?

For how long can you be happy in this life?

For how long can positive thoughts sustain you?

Will you be able to escape the aging years ahead?

Will you be able to escape your death?

Will you be able to escape the death of those around you

and bear the pain of their passing away?

Will you not grieve when your loved one passes away?

Will you not miss them?

Where shall you find your comfort in the end?

Shall you find it in the thought that they are not really gone,

but shall take on new personalities someday, somewhere, in another lifetime?

Personalities that knew you not

Personalities that have not your memory

nor the remembrance of your love

Shall you find comfort that they might go unto the Absolute

somewhere where all shall finally be merged as one,

energies pulsating, being absorbed unto the whole,

mere energies that sink and rise without end

without form

without persons you’ve wanted to love and to be with forever

No, you shall not.

You cannot

and even if you say you can,

you would have lost this one thing:

You would have lost

what true love

really means

Do you know the sacred?

You have read the holy books
and deciphered them one by one;
you were taught by the masters
and have been initiated
into the expertise you thought will help you.

You have gazed at your aura
and you have gazed upon others’ as well;
you knew how to read the stars
and you knew the secret of the moon

By your mind you can receive messages
transcending time and space
By your mind you can bend
and move objects at will

But have you set foot yet on holy grounds?
Have you gazed upon the radiant Light that which you cannot fathom?
Have you been moved to tears beyond all thought
beyond all mysteries you have ever sought?
Have you found the pearl of great prize?
Have you experienced at all
THE SACRED?

Why carry your heavier cross?

: Image via Wikipedia

Have you ever felt those times when the cross you’re carrying seems heavier than it should be? Much heavier than you can bear? Much heavier than the crosses other people are carrying? In fact, why carry your heavier cross?

Our crosses it seems, vary greatly in the burden and the difficulties they inflict upon us. Why do some crosses appear to be far easier? And why do some appear to be so huge and heavy, our trust upon God’s wisdom and justice is already shaken to its very core?

We see rich, beautiful people whose only problem it seems, are the next orders they’re going to pick from the menu. And then we see beggars who don’t even have a place to sleep at when night falls. We see celebrities gambling loads of money in a casino. And then we see parents doing back-breaking work day after day, just so they could send their children to school. We see politicians squandering the wealth of the nation, and getting credit for the small portion of funds spent in useless undertakings. And then we see cancer victims, fighting for their next breath, not knowing where in God’s hands they’re going to get the amount needed to provide for the family they’re going to leave behind.

Secret to mountain moving faith

A child is having a seizure, he foams at the mouth and gnashes his teeth, he is thrown to the ground and lays as rigid as a rock. Meanwhile, the disciples of Jesus gather around him, praying, laying their hands and shouting words of affirmation, trying to cast away the evil spirit that has possessed the child. Still, the child rolled around, foaming at the mouth. The disciples couldn’t drive away the malady. After all the miracles they’ve seen through Jesus, after all the miracles they have performed themselves, they stand defeated and confused.
