Such a wretched creature I was. Changed into His likeness by His LOVE! He has forgiven me for ALL I have done or ever will do. His Grace and Mercy follow me, chasing me, catching me, to bestow themselves all over me for ALL the days of my life!!! WOW! That's exciting!
I have found that in times when I have created my biggest errors, mercy and grace came a running in a gave me my biggest Underserved BLESSINGS!!! If that doesn't show you that you're LOVED... Nothing will.
I hope that as you sit in meditation today, awaiting the answer to your decision, that you once again reach through the chasm which knows no distance, sling your tether, and grasp the connection you need to receive your answer!
That's right Al. The experiments should be selfless and of benefit to ALL mankind. To bring harm to any other human is a sefish act, and not one of love.
The ability to forgive others who do not deserve our forgiveness. They would not be able to earn our forgiveness dazz. We are only able to forgive in this way, through showing unmerited grace, that which is not worked for or earned, through expressing Unconditional Love. Just because they are another human being, not for anything they have done.
God is our example. He loves us unconditionally, just because we are humans He created. He forgives us, not because we deserve to be forgiven, or because we corrected our mistakes through good works. He shows towards us, unmerited grace. We can not earn it from Him. Others can not earn it from us. That would be Conditional.
God's love is unconditional and ours should be also.
"Love One Another as I have loved you" (unconditional).
He will never leave us or forsake us. Because He first loved us, we love.
Thru every challenge and every circumstance, as we Trust Him, He proves Himself Faithful. All Battles belong to the Lord. We need only to BE STILL and SEE the DELIVERANCE He will bring to us.
Our God IS Faithful and able to do even More than we ask or imagine!
He Delights in Us!
The LORD our God is with us! He is a hero who saves us! He happily rejoices over us, renews us with his love, and celebrates over us with shouts of joy!
Through God’s grace, I am accepted and loved in every moment.. During my time in the silence, I reflect on what it means to be blessed by God’s grace. I know that I am a child of God, and as such, God accepts me, loves me, and cares for me in every moment. I am a unique being, shining my inner light, held in the nucleus of God’s evolving universe. Just as God’s grace is sufficient for me, it is also sufficient for each and every one of God’s creations. I bless all the people with whom I share this planet, knowing that each one on earth has been given the gift of God’s grace that I treasure. With this expanded understanding of God’s grace, I experience a sense of unparalleled joy, wonder, and love. Through God’s grace, we are continually blessed, and in this knowledge, I find great joy and peace. “If it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace would no longer be grace.”—Romans 11:6
Do you understand Grace and is it evident in your life?
Do you struggle with always trying to do things Right, so you can be "good enough", or not committing "sin", so as to obtain Favor?
And the comments are very good reading also. (I did read all 5 pages, prior to posting, lol)
As most of you know, my two prefered forums are Religion and Current Events and Politics. It helps me to learn where others are comming from and to examine my own views and beliefs. These things help us to grow into mature healthy individuals. When looking for a partner in life, I would like one of whom I can discuss these matters with in a mature way. Interaction in the forums reveals the character of people.
It's easy to put on your best face when trying to make a good impression, and leave the ugliness lying underneath the facade. Mature discussions reveal the real you, and what goes on in your mind. This is very useful in selecting whom you would or would not want to partner with.
There are those of us who need these particular forums to help weed out those in our selection process.
Goose, it does give food for thought. I am one who does not believe everything I see or hear, as far as; how it appears on the surface. I like to look deep into the matter, see it from different angles and note any and all possibilities. I am a "seeker", as Omega puts it, and depending on the subject matter, at times have been driven with passion to research non-stop, searching for truth.
I have never read Nostrodamas predictions. I only hear of some of them thru posts such as what you have shared here or short articles in the News.
I have heard recently, much talk of the Mayan Calendar and the Chinese Calendars ending in 2012.
I do find this interesting and I do ponder on it, however, no spark has ignited into flame for me to persue it in research.
It would be interesting if someone who has more knowledge of these things would share with us here.
Cos Inquiring Minds want to know.
Maybe your thread will bring them forth. Good thread Goose.
Just what is it that they are so secretive about, that they are lying to the American People and the World ... What are they Up To?? What's with all the secret executive orders, passing bills without Congress aproval?? It's against the Laws of the U.S. Constitution to do so and they have written their own laws giving them the power to do so, without the Approval of the American People or Congress!!!
No one Cares! It's Treason! And they continue to do it and get away with it. Why aren't charges brought up on them? Well you know what? They are under indictment! But they are draggin their feet on it cos many are envolved who want their secret agenda to go thru.
Their mission is Globalism. No more, America, Sovereign Nation, Land of the Free. No more Constitution or Bill of Rights. You will do as the World Government says.
And if you don't like it, or speak against it... You DIE!
Clinton wasn't better than Bush... They both did exactly the same thing!
There is NO Difference between the Clintons and the Bush's... they are CFR, globalist, and they want to destroy the Sovereignty of America!!!!!!!!!!
No, I won't let go and I ain't uppin $100 for your gallon of gas... Go ask Hitlary or the Shrub for your gas money, they are Investors of the oil. They are Profiteering! Laughing all the way to the Swiss Bank!!
I do not believe, nor did I say that diplomacy was ALL that was needed. My implication was that diplomacy should have been the Starting point. Leading in to : When all other attempts have failed. I am also in no way saying that Sadam didn't get what he had comming or that war was not inevitable. My point was, our Nations Leaders Intentionally Deceived the entire American Nation and the United Nations, by presenting false information and they Knew it to be false at the time they stated it. If they deceived to make this war happen, is it not Probable that perhaps they just Might be Deceiving the American people and the World about Other things???
Of course there are other types of WMD besides Nuclear. Bio-chemical is most probably the worst WMD. And they are doing that right here in this country, to us by ChemTrails. If you don't know what they are, google it and read up. Also, Barium, one of the chemicals which have been found in them. ChemTrails are being put out all over the world.
WHY?
Clinton also sold us out to the U.N., making our Constitution INVALID!
