No Need To Hate

It’s a crazy world out there these days.  “Peace and Love” has been reduced to just a topic of conversation.  Well, it’s not going to be this way forever!    It WILL be alright.

“It’s a crazy world” and in the same breath, “It will be alright”?  Is this guy some kind of kook?    Time will tell…….

How could it possibly be alright??  Cars break down, loved ones may need hospitalization, kids need raised, bills need paid, jobs get lost and more.  I’ve heard it said that life is a real piece of … work.  It doesn’t have to be…..  Having had a, so-called, NEAR death experience, I can think of plenty of reasons it will be alright.

There IS justice, in the end.  People who have intentionally caused suffering will receive the SAME suffering, once these few “moments”  (80 years?) are over…. and it will be intensified and multiplied.  Intensified in what way?   Separated from “God”, there is no hope, no goodness, no love, no people, and no chance for change.  A murderer will FEEL…..as if it were “LIVE”, THEMSELF being murdered, from now on (and multiplied!)!  … Someone wronging you today WILL GET THEIRS shortly.  No need to hate .  Hate will be turned against those of us who use it.   Thanks, but “no thanks”..  If, eventually, they ARE going to be away from God, forever, (because there is no “time”),  SORROW seems to be more appropriate.

(Think what you will…)  I saw Jesus, during my “death” experience.  Think about the change in perspective when you KNOW there is A God……and JUSTICE, PERFECT JUSTICE.

There is a God, AND there will be justice?!!  For EVERY SINGLE time we were… put in fear by someone… or lied about… or injured, physically, or mentally… there will be JUSTICE… automatic and effortless… guaranteed Justice.   It will be alright.

How about that scary transition we call “death”?  Fear not, my friend…. the moment we…pass on (“death”)…and arrive “there”,  we have no clue as to how we got there, similar to being knocked out.  Car wreck?  Drowned?  Murdered?  It is over, and DOES NOT MATTER…. knowing that there is Justice, and everything will be alright, it simply does not matter enough to TRY to recall!  Knowing that EVERYONE will receive THEIR very own “just desserts”, suddenly the things that happened before are TOTALLY unimportant…. including how we “died”!

Would you like a shot at one of those “goofy” lives where things going wrong DON’T MATTER?  Do you want to look like one of those air-heads in the old movies where the people are happy, even when they’re being shat upon?

Just treat people the way you would want treated yourself… and HANG IN THERE!

It WILL BE alright….there’s no need to hate….

 

Forgive Us, to the Same Degree That We Forgive…..

When thinking about being forgiven, then being allowed into “Heaven”, my thought process went like this….”I’m not THAT “bad”, I’ve seen worse…I forgive people.” Then I attempt to put names with the “forgiven”…the ones whose “trespasses” are all but forgotten. The people who are forgiven, AND trusted, just like “before”. It was a short list. I know better, and yet…
Raise your hand if you’ve heard something like, “…and forgive us, as we forgive those who trespass against us”, or something similar. What DOES that mean, exactly?
At first look, it seems to mean…I forgive (some)(enough to prove I can do it…I don’t need to be highly successful at it. I’ll still be 100% “forgivable”, cuz’ I’m OK.). Well, I had better do better! Why?
Few could guess that, “as we forgive…” isn’t SAYING “WHILE” we forgive, or “BECAUSE” we forgive. It DOES mean, “to the same DEGREE” that we forgive….. It’s JUSTICE, SIMPLE and PERFECT. So says THIS death survivor. (There was nothing “NEAR” about it!)

…but.

I’m at the Life Review.  (You’ll get your chance.)  In mere MOMENTS, every single act, and thought I EVER did and had was all around me, as if happening for the first time!  And yet, the entire thing happened so FAST, it was over before my brain could register it.  But I remembered it all!

As if that wasn’t strange enough, I saw things as if I was on the receiving end of things I had said and done.  To me it seemed like the effects were amplified somewhat.  It’s that or…some of the things I had said…cut to the bone?  Or were those “recipients” just (too) “sensative”?  …No, that was not the answer.

I would come to a place, in this…thought stealing review, that I would feel I needed to…defend my actions.  Over and over I would begin by saying, “yeah, but”…and that would be the end of the moment, moving on to the next.  After this had occured several times, I realized that my “yeah, but” “explanation” carried no weight.  It wasn’t that it was a “lie”, more like…you should have known better, AND WOULD HAVE, if truly coming from a place of love!

There it is…the “afterlife’s” standards for admission, and now you know, when your turn comes, that “but.” is always the end of the sentence.
