Who Does God Reveal Himself Too?
The great question “Why” has forever been upon the lips of man as he ponders his own existence. Those few who have been able to answer this question were quietly passed by, unheeded, in the struggle for survival. The whys of the world is why we seek answers. Why is easy, God experiences Himself through His creation. He reveals himself to himself by experiencing himself. Sound, far fetched? Think about it. Who is God revealing himself to? Why would he have to reveal himself to anyone or anything? God is self contained, self motivated, in need of nothing, continually creating, and formulates all the rules. He doesn’t need to impress anyone, has no spouse or enemies – woe you say, what about Satan? Ha, nothing exist outside God, so God created Satan to complete his own experience. The fact is, good can’t exist without bad, there would be no reference point – one has to exist for the other to exist.
What Is The Meaning Of Life?
Why brings the question of What. What is the meaning of life in the first place? Why create life extending into the future without purpose? Scholars, Professors, Theologians, great Religious leaders, have pondered this question from the dawn of time yet, no one can agree on its true meaning. Man is the catalyst, the go between, the deciding factor. Man decides, and creates an effect while God experiences the result.
Man struggles along the path of life with a heavy heart and bleeding feet only to find in the end the grave awaits. He harbors resentment, a sense of incompetence which besets his every avenue; and in his blind groping he lifts his hands in speechless anguish, and his weary cries stir the air with supplications to an apparently unheeding God. Where art thou oh Lord? Why do you forsake me in my hour of testing? And man shakes his fist at a God he no longer understands, because he is no longer willing to surrender. Man has become disconnected, disengaged in God’s creation. His greatest achievement gone astray, turned inward, crippled in his own self calamity.

Why Do People Have To Suffer?
Why the suffering, the sorrow, the sin, the sickness and a lifetime of trouble, only to be met at last by the grim and sinister tomb? Why are people destitute, troubled and unforgiving? Who can comfort in the loss of a child or see solace in the eyes of a dieing mother. Why do people inflict pain on each other for personal gain? And the tomb awaits, silent, cold, steadfast for man’s last performance.
Why, why, why? Man seeks wisdom only to discover foolishness; he seeks the learned only to find a lack of wisdom. Why, why, why? His cry has appeared to go forth into an empty void.
A Cry From The Soul
But wait! from somewhere within, a whisper of an answer comes, some subtle inner sense of things; some unknown presence has surfaced to give an answer as a still small voice speaks, “Man, know thyself.” And the inner man, gently prompts and prods as man goes wandering along in his own self indulgence. God has not turned away from man, it is man who has turned away from God. And God silently grieves for the finest in his creation.
Is The Natural Man Lost?
The Instinctive (natural) Man has again spoken and told this lost creature to search more deeply into his own nature; the soul; to look deep within himself for the answer to life. Enter the closet and seek God’s answers for the hour has come in the progress of man when he can understand this voice and do its bidding. And if you are right with God, the answers will come, although at times, they will not be the ones you sought.
Mat 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
We no longer have to cry in torment, we Know. We no longer need to ask if there is a God, or if we dare to speak to Him; we do not analyze, dissect, affirm, or deny, We know. We trust in God because first we “Know in whom we have believed.” The sooner the one who is seeking realizes that truth must be revealed through his own soul, and not that of another, the sooner he will attain solace.
Is It Right To Prosper?
Health, happiness and Success belongs to the children of God because they are the heirs of God’s promise. If His created creature has indeed become His adopted children then they have dominion over the creation through His promise. It is mankind who has dominion over the earth and everything in it, not Satan.
For sin shall not have dominion of dominance over you: for you enact the law through his grace.
What about life, how do you, as a God fearing person overcome worldly temptations? How do you fit in with non-believing family members, co-workers, friends, and the rest of the world? First off, let’s look at the makeup of man and the areas he must master to be a true Achiever.
“He who makes himself a sheep will be eaten by the wolves”
In the next article we will delve deeper into the mysteries of life as they impact the makeup of a believer. We will take one more step into the uncovering of the human spirit/soul connection and its importance as a broader, deepening of understanding within a material/spirit world.

im finally doing what i want, loving it, loving how he compliments me , loving my friends, making new friends. Partying. ahhh life is great, im finally finding my path. i had to get it out there, but why is your life good
AnswerMy life isn’t at its peak yet but beyond that my life is great because I’m about to get out of school. And get a job at this college which is pretty good and a lot better then any fast food places. I’ve grown closer to my family lately and me and my guy have been granted better communication skills. I’ve been on a pretty rocky road with myself and relationships over the past year and its just starting to smooth out so just that in itself is a really good feeling for me.
Ok, i have been with my boyfriend for 2 years, and we have really good sex (to me). He tells me he loves it too… but he is insecure about himself, and he thinks he is small, but he isn’t. He sort of tells himself thatI DONT like our sex, when really… i LOVE it. How can i show him that i love it, maybe by trying something new? or using props? or i dunno doing something different, i am quite confused. thank you. No rude comments please!
AnswerKissing, caressing, and moaning louder would work…. also tell him how you like it when he does this ____ to you or ____ to you. It sounds like you always have to remind him that your enjoying your time with him. Building up his confidence will be a great help! You can do this by just saying the three words you mentioned above “I love it”.
Many of you NUT-JOBS think everyone must be a slave-wage earner & get an education for a better life huh! Then you bad mouth poor people who need public assistance, which is non-existant & insufficient if you get a lawyer & take five years to start collecting it! I am talking legal Americans here! Then you lie about how great every thing is here in USA but can’t recommend anything real like where to get a job paying a living wage!
Answeri agree there are peoples working two jobs now just to get by .
I’ve always wanted to have just an amazing life changing experience..but i have no money whatsoever.does anyone know of incredible life experience that is free?
AnswerYes, there are many things which are free. When ever I feel let down, I engross myself into Nature. Observe the things and surrounding. When you go closer to nature, there is incredible experience of completeness. Next is help people in need. A simple help to them brings smile on their face and that smile injects amazing feelings in us.
A condo in the sky downtown? A country house with chickens and veggie garden? or maybe the (in between) Suburbs? Which of these would be your dream home?
I’m just curious how people feel, for myself I would go for the country life but at the same time the condo sounds cool too.
AnswerA well kept up small house in a nice, quiet, pedestrian-friendly neighbourhood close to shops and conveniences and within a block of a good bus route.
The country is wonderful if you can stand rotting dead animals in your front yard, having to stick your hands in filth constantly, and the stench of farm pesticides and feedlots blowing over your home. A sky-high condo is great if you don’t mind the noise, pollution, and crowding of downtown or the pitter-patter of great big feet coming from the apartment above you. The “suburbs” are fine if you want a house that’s too big to care for (or afford) and you don’t mind having to drive miles to the nearest megamart every time you run out of milk.
