Created in His image.

God created you, believe it or not! He wants you to enjoy this life and to live abundantly while living your life. God is your father and wants the same for you that any good parent would want for their child. Think about it. If you had or have a child or children wouldn’t you want them to be educated, successful, secure, and happy? That would make you proud and relieved wouldn't it? God wants the same for you, only more so. The first step towards happiness is letting go of the idea that God is in Heaven wearing combat boots ready to squash you like a bug for messing up and blowing it. Some imagine God in our image instead of us being made into his. We change; look at our trends and what is acceptable now that a few years ago would have been atrocious. God is the same from eternity past to eternity future. People don’t like the fact that what they ‘think is acceptable’ is in Gods site detestable. We must see ourselves the way God does if we want to truly prosper in health, happiness, peace, wealth and overall wellness the way He desires us to. The leading factor in how we act or react to people and circumstances around us is our perception of ourselves. The way to be happy in life is to first find happiness and peace within ourselves. This starts with forgiving yourself and moving forward. You have to understand that it is okay to forgive yourself even if you feel that others have not forgiven you. Why? If someone chooses to not forgive you it only affects them not you. They have to find peace and forgiveness within themselves as you do. Once you have resolved yourself of your self inflicted punishment, you can then get on with your life. Ask God to help, he knows what you have need of before you even ask, but he really seeks to have a relationship with you. In relationships there is communication. Let's talk about sin. The bible points to disobeying God’s commands as sin. Jesus wants people to do the right thing. Treat people like they would want to be treated, respect others and their property, and be a positive person full of faith, hope, and love. The Bible says to come to him as children. Children are usually happy, playful and innocent. They’ll play and be friendly to everyone. When children make mistakes they are quick to forgive each other. How well are we at forgiving those who make mistakes against us? My point is that every man is the son of God as every woman is the daughter of God so we are all joint heirs with Christ. Every promise in the Bible is directed toward us today. We are told to ask, seek and knock. Ask and you shall receive. Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door shall be opened. If you take the first letter of each you will start all over again with ASK. Jesus is the only person to have ever lived without sin. By default we are all sinners, born in need of salvation, redeemed by the blood of Jesus. Ransom paid. It would be a waste of time to debate Jesus lineage or argue, about doctrines’. Accept the proven facts that he was and is and is to come. We are eternal beings, and that everything will be judged in time. Being good to each other and giving money or properties to help others is awesome, but unless you accept the ultimate human sacrifice as your redeeming salvation, and ask Christ to forgive you. You are not spared from eternal separation from God. Study history, study scriptures. You will find that the Bible has much more validity and historic proof than any other beliefs especially evolution, which has contradictive theories all throughout it. I also have been asked a thousand times how could I believe in a God if there is one that allows all of these bad things to happen?
I have children. When we are walking or playing together and one falls and gets hurt, would you say I allowed it? I could have even seen it coming, but I neither caused the fall nor wanted it to happen. I will however be there to help them up and comfort them. God is blamed for so many things and what is funny about it is that most people blaming Him say they don't believe in Him. And yet they say we're confused. Talk to you soon, have an awesome week.
