....you grow up poor, you realize it every second of your life
Now that topic was just to start this off and the later part may not be related. A continuation from the previous article of you growin up poor but you don't really realize it cause you were so loved? Some people struggle very much with being `not very wealthy', and complains about the money, wanting to make more and do whatever it takes, its really good to motivate yourself and all to work for things you want but its despicable if you put your dignity on the line. And if you grow up not so wealthy and you feel it each and every second, it probably meant one thing, you LACK love and finding more money wouldn't cure that problem brothers and sisters! Money keeps you living so you could find love, not the other way round. See, don't you think its ridiculous that you fall sick so that you can take medication? Rather than you took it because you got ill? Now medicine here would work like money, you take it when you're ill, to bring you up again so that you can go on with life. Not, you take more medicine and you heal so that you can find for more medicine. We call that drug addicts and if you're living in a world different from mine where you call these powerful people you better remind me where you live.
Second of all, the most important part I realize is there is a very very thin line that separates denial of truth, and being positive. Many, which is not even worth mentioning here but if you feel it, it really didn't mean to hit you but if it did, probably you can do something, only if you want to, if you don't, its not my life anyway right? Well, take this....a kid takes too much drug in his blood and suddenly one day died, his parent while he was alive, just didn't took the time to care for him and it wouldn't matter too much if he was out or in the house. Indirectly causing the intoxication and boom, there goes another life. Lets call this boy Jack just to make it more imaginable. And not Jack's parent, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas are too busy doin their work and stuffs and all. They didn't even realize if Jack wasn't around at home last night or not, but they're so tired, they jus went straight to bed. Be it ignorance or what, Jack has been on drugs for 2 and a half years, and one day he just drop and fell really ill, and never woke up again.
See, you can choose to respond it many ways. You can say, no, this is all the will of God and he was destined to die as a lesson to everyone out there. And console yourself, that this isn't your fault on not giving enough attention to Jack. Or maybe you could've just say that, God did all this for a purpose and we man do not know of His will so we will accept it as it is, but we know God is good and whatever He's done must be good, so this is good; in other words. OR maybe you can twist that fact a little bit and say, yea God really indeed have allowed this to happen, rather than making it happen and say I admit it is my fault. It is not good, we are not good, we let him die on us, we didn't even realize if he had his dinner or not, what more drugs? The good thing is, we finally admit our fault, what's next? Go to church and cry out loud, pray all you can and start working the next day cause life goes on, and no money no life? Of course its important to have money but remember you don't get the medicine to fall sick, you fall sick then you consume the medicine, and if you are making money in your life like as if you're living for it and you would fall sick and let go of everything because of money, don't you think its time you end your life? What do you want from those money? To be happy, to be healthy, to live well, loved....and suddenly when you start working so hard and do whatever it takes to face heartbreaks, disrespectful life, bla this and that, you're doing it the wrong way? The right way to make money is to keep the intention right. To make your loved ones happy, and putting your life or dignity down is never gonna make anyone who loved you proud nor happy. Look at your life today, and if you're not making money the right way as I am talking about here, I seriously think its about time you start to make it right. Don't go to church and pray 30 times in 29 minutes, eat the bread 3 loaf of the bread of life and drink the whole bottle of wine which rerpesents the blood. Symbolic action is nothing without the right way of life. In fact, the very thing about Jesus' last supper was that He came in clean hands and His life was all right and He ate there so that everyone remembers that you get yourself clean before you start coming to take a part of this. You cannot be perfect and no one is asking you to, but if you didn't do it right one by one, you're not even close to being right.
Once I was reading this quote somewhere and it inspires me to give faith a benefit of doubt, it goes somethin like, Christians are not good people, but people who knows they are wrong. Again, suddenly...I think that sentence mean knowing you're wrong; then fix it! Knowing itself ain't getting you nowhere. If I kill you today and say I know I am wrong, too bad. I'll just live on but I already know I am wrong, thats enough? Wow, ain't life for a Christian as easy as breathing air? Oppresion from another religion isn't the hardest part of Christian life. The hardest part comes from pressing yourself to fix things and as hard as it can be, let them slap you on the right when they slapped the left. I have yet to see a single human capable of doing that in my whole life. Don't avoid wrongdoings by saying things like; its ok, the whole community is against me and say I am wrong, this is the work of the devil and God is testing me to stand strong. If Jesus were to be like that, he would't took the cross and throw it down the valley of no end and tell the world, come and consume me and God will do me justice. National geographic won't have a program to find out how Jesus was crucified on the cross instead, where did the cross went? He wasn't wrong to begin with, but He lets you slap Him both sides. Today all I can see is, we're all wrong to begin with, and then we put some cream on the cheek and say, God will watch after me. Stop being defensive. Lets get some slapping. You will never know how Jesus feels and what God wanted in your life until you be like that. The question to close this topic; ask yourself this..do I let people slap me on the left, when they slapped my right? Or after they slapped my right, I build up a wall and say, GOD IS MY SHELTER....and be one the watch for any incoming slaps?
Truly if that was how God wanted us to be, I don't think the slap left and right thing would be in the bible wouldn't it? Wouldn't it probably be something like, when they slap you on the right......hit them where it hurts most?
