There is something weird that I see. It contradicts the truth I know of. When people talk about God as if He's just someone they choose to be their God or something stupid like that. As if they could choose who created them. There is no "my God" versus "your God" nor "his God" nor "her God" - there's just God. The one who created all things.
I'm in this world but I'm not of this world. Religions are created of this world, because there's some kind of confusion where they came from and where they're going. And what their reason is for being.
We chose this life. It was spiritual traits such as love that led us to the self-sacrificial decision that brought us to Earth to make life better for others in the name of God. God gives us interests that lead to skills that lead us on the purpose He set us on. We did this for Him. We don't fully remember all of it, nor do we remember Him in all His full glory. We have to rely on faith because blessed are those who believe without any physical proof.
The knowledge I have is written in to my spirit. Things I've known my entire life before I was ever even taught anything about God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit, The Holy Bible, Religion, etc. - there are other things from the other side that I have knowledge of, have witnessed in dreams and also have some fragmented memories attached to emotions that go with them, things I cannot even begin to explain the full awesomeness of it in earthly human words. But if I try to explain that then it will take me longer than the rest of my life and I won't even have begun to scratch even a small fraction of the surface.
God is not a choice. He's a blessing. People can claim to choose who their parents are, in title only, but in actuality your creators are who they are, more in the same sense of how you can NOT change who your Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandparents are. "Oh but I get to choose who my family is." You get to choose who you spend your time around and communicate with and such in this life. But we can't choose who we truly are, nor where we came from. Nor can we change the fact that we're here for a reason. We're here because our presence is needed in some way.
We shouldn't judge these days by the harvest we reap. But rather by the seeds that we sew. The harvest will take care of itself. Our actions matter. We can choose what we do for the most part, but we can't always choose what happens from it all the time.
And be humble. Everything good we have in this world, we have because of God. Every skill, ability, we are given from God. Every good trait. God can give you more. But you must bless Him by blessing those he sends you to bless. Forgive others. Not an easy task. And even harder to ever regain trust. And it doesn't even necessarily mean to let people in to your life who wish to make your life worse or drag you down with negativity or attempt to lead you away from God. But forgiveness is like releasing a hot coal, holding on to it and you're the one who gets burnt by it. It lets God know you are worthy of His forgiveness when you ask it. Do not wish bad things upon people if you can help it. Put your faith and trust in God.
And God bless you for reading this!

Prayers should be more than just asking God for help
So often, you'll hear people praying to God, asking for Him to do things for them. And at times, God will be able to do them for you. But, for people who think that praying to God just means asking Him for things, my question is: Is God, the one who is a being of unconditional love and limitless wisdom and power, Someone you just want to constantly take things from and always ask favors from and ignore Him the rest of the time? Is that something you think is fair, to just continuously take from Him? Is that how you show your love to God? The one who has done so much for all of us. Even sent His own son to suffer and die for our sins so that we can able to live forever in the Kingdom in Heaven.
If you're going to ask God for anything, then why not, for once, ask God what you could do for Him? When you pray, ask Him to give you the guidance and the power to do His will for Him here on Earth. For who ever is asking Him for help, to have God guide you to those people, or them to you, or both of you to each other. Glorifying God's good name by doing good for others, protecting people, healing the sick and hurt, saving lives, fighting evil, being a messenger of His by preaching the word of the bible, or just telling others a certain helpful philosophy, or even just making people smile and laugh, or to comfort them in times of sadness. Whatever good you feel drawn to do you know it is because God is guiding you to it. That person you come across who is in need of help in some way, that you're able to help.
There are plenty of people out there constantly praying to God for all kinds of help, all the time. So, in understanding that, why not make God's job easier and help those people? Not only is it not impossible, it's also a lot easier than you would think. God is always speaking to all of us, you just have to choose to listen. And you know He gives you the power to do what He is asking you to do, otherwise He wouldn't ask you to do it.
God,
I say these words to you right now, because I know You can read them. I want to thank You for everything good You've ever done for me, my friends, my family, and all the good people of the world. I understand that countless people are praying to you at this very moment, asking You for help. To make Your job easier, all I will ask from You is to guide me to those people so that I can help them and by doing so, prove to them Your unconditional love for those people, thus letting them know that You really do hear and answer prayers.
And may God bless all of my friends reading this.

Beware of How Society Works, Turn the Tides
There is a kind of psychological pattern that society often repeats. It makes people feel powerful. And what I'm referring to is the process of building up, just to break down. Society builds up these large buildings and monuments, because that makes them feel powerful to create them. Then, it makes them feel even more powerful just to take them down. The people constantly idolize people and practically worship them as heroes, just to break them down and villainize them. Beware of that pattern. You see it a lot with celebrities, be it actors or politicians.
But, then there's the opposite of doing that. Think of the military process. They break you down first, both mentally, physically, you find yourself being treated worse than you've ever been treated before, you feel weaker than you've ever felt before and are put through so much strenuous exercises and are constantly exhausted. Over time, you begin to build up, you get stronger, and eventually you pick up rank and are treated with more respect. This process is better, to be broken down first, and THEN built up. Look at Jesus. He was treated like a criminal, he was tortured, beaten, humiliated, crucified on a cross for days, left there to starve and then he died. He did that and then rose from the dead so that we could have everlasting life in the kingdom of heaven, if you believe in him as your Lord & Savior and know that he died to pay your debt for your sins. He's a good example of someone who was broken down in the worst way it could've happened to anyone, just to be built up as like the King of Kings.
My advice to the people of the world - don't build yourselves up nor let others build you up so that you may be set up to be broken down. Instead, allow yourselves to be broken down first. If you're on Step 9 and you want to get to step 10, go back to step 1, then go straight to step 10 from there. You might just see something going down and then going back up again that you didn't see the first time you were walking up those stairs.
Do NOT become the delicious gourmet meal that gets eaten then turned into poop hours later after being released from the body. INSTEAD, think of how diamonds are created and be more like that.
None of this "first impression!" crap. That's a purely emotional response, it's a compulsive thing, detach yourself from that line of thinking immediately and open your mind to the divine wisdom of how things truly are and are meant to be, but are rarely seen for what it is. Make it less about the destination and more about the journey itself all together.
You may find that many things I say can't always be taken at face value. Philosophically speaking there are multiple meanings for a lot of the things I say. And I can't even begin to speak a fraction of what actually goes on in my mind. I can do what I can though. And what I can tell you is that if you open yourself up to God, that he can grant you with the divine wisdom as well.
