If there is only one person who reads what I have to say, then in fact, I have done more for the Angels than anything else I could do. It only takes one. Life throws a lot of curves at us and sometimes we aren’t prepared for what happens to us next. And there are people in this world who live hand to mouth and who live on a daily existence not even sure if they will wake up in the morning. There is the working poor who face the prospect that tomorrow they might not even have a place to live.
I don’t want to address myself to those who live in comfort and prosperity, but that I would rather address myself to the downtrodden of this world that don’t even know where their next meal is coming from. But more than likely anyone who reads what I have to write are reading this from a computer and if it’s a shared computer as in a library, then in fact, maybe the library is the only place where one can go to escape the cares of this world.
No matter where we find ourselves in life God only asks one thing of us and that is to simply live and in some cases to live simply. There is NEVER any reason for anyone to take his or her life. There is never any reason for one to do harm to another. In fact, there is every reason to live our lives as fully as God intended for us to live. But we live in very uncertain days. I have heard my father say often that the days we live in are uncertain, but I think there is more uncertainty today than I have seen in my life. Nothing is guaranteed. We have seen businesses that have been in existence for over a hundred years fail. We have seen banks that have existed for almost two hundred years fail. We have seen the collapse of the economy of Greece and how their indebtedness is going to have an affect on all of Europe. Yet we have to choice but to live regardless of what transpires in our lives. No one has a right to do harm to him or her self and no one has a right to do harm to others.
There are those who have been employed for over 30 years who have lost their life savings and their homes. NOTHING is guaranteed in this world. There is nothing saying that when I go to bed after writing this that I will wake up in the morning. There is nothing that would prevent the Messiah from coning tomorrow if indeed He chose to come tomorrow. What we face in life is sometimes as difficult as anything can be difficult, yet somehow everyone gets through it. There is no guarantee that anyone reading this will be healthy tomorrow as he or she was healthy today. God makes no guarantees on ANYTHING. Yet, life goes on. And if the sun does come up in the morning, we can wake up after a good night’s sleep and face the day because it is a day God has made. Somewhere in the world someone is waking up after a night’s rest facing a new day. Some will live today in prosperity and some will live this day in poverty. Some will have three square meals with water to drink and some might not eat today and not have clean water to drink. But we ARE NOT to do harm to ourselves regardless of where we find ourselves in life. Only God can take a human life. So, if you are reading this and you are finding life too hard to bear and you just want to find an end to it all, I can only say to you that you have no choice but to live. If I save one life from Satan, I have done more than the Angels have asked of me. But since Angels don’t use computers, I am speaking for them. The lesson of Job is that he could have ended all his suffering by taking his life, but instead God rewards him in the end for choosing life over death. God always rewards those who always choose life over death. He NEVER fails. Peace.
