#1 Greatest Need of our Being!

Hi Son in Christ, 

Glad to see your thoughts & feedback.

Many don't even listen or even think about the moment they hear something contrary to their view of life. 

So I am excited to see your responsiveness. 

You asked, " You told me that “ weaker “ kids get more attention from their parents ... coming to terms with your logic it’s obvious that we are the weaker ones we certainly don’t get more attention ... he did not manifest “physically” to us .. to me if a god is too haughty to manifest physically idk what to say . "

This is an excellent observation.  

Oh! how we all crave for our father God to manifest physically to us. 

Even my life partner, who is 40 years, with more than 20 years journey with Jesus as the master of her life, told me couple of months back on how she is praying for God to show himself to her even more fuller 😊.

But let me share 2 observations in response to this desire: 

(1) 'physical' is one of the six dimensions of our being. 

Other five are intellectual, emotional, spiritual, social, & environmental. 

But we all crave for 'physical' manifestation because it feels & sounds so very logical for us. 

(2) Faith in God is trusting his words and his principles of life as true in reality and continue seeking him to heal the gaps in our understanding. Please pray & continue seeking God in order to receive the necessary empowerment & more light in your view of our life, dear. 

 You asked further, "Plus let’s say you had the ability and power to design your kids the way you want... would you still give them weaknesses and disabilities ? Won’t you give them as much as you can ... won’t you make them the best in their own ways ?( but then Christians blame the devil for all that 😑)"

Again brilliant observation. Let me consider it in 2 parts.

1st part about giving the best and 2nd part about blaming devil/demons. In fact, blaming devil/demons is a favourite form of godliness  (but not true godliness) for many Christians 😊.

On the 1st part: 

The #1 greatest need of us, human beings, is the removal of guilt from our conscience due to our words and or actions. 

While there are many ways to experience this freedom, the #1 straightforward & real maturing way is through the journey of our life with Jesus Christ as the #1 guru of our life. 

In this journey, mercy is an important concept to be understood first. 

When we search for who saw Mercy in our bible, 1 character comes to my mind: 

King David: "Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions..." Psalm 51. 

David understood that sin is like a crime. If a criminal is to be delivered from the effects of his/her crime, he/she does not need justice, but needs mercy. Sin is an illegal action, a violation of justice, an action of lawlessness, an action of rebellion towards God. Therefore, requires mercy of God to be forgiven by God. 

David appeals to God according to his great compassion. God's mercies do not trickles down upon us; it pours upon us. When God forgives, he forgives beyond what we can imagine; because, many of us always look out in the name of being on guard for recurrence after forgiving someone who hurt us. 

That's why even in our design of life, we have mercy provision from president to pardon our convicts who served punishments. And I am sure you know how the Nirbhya convicts & their parents tried their level best to avail this mercy. 

Psalm 103 beautifully explains God's forgiveness in his mercies:

"8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. 

9 He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever; 

10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. 

11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; 

12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us." 

( Btw, I am copying & pasting as you might feel lazy & not read in bible with just my reference 😊😉 )

 Also, through Micah 7:

"...18 Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. 

19 You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea..."

What an amazing relief comes when we begin to understand this fullness of God's forgiveness by his mercies! 

Instead of punishment to serve justice, our father God forgives & forgets our sins by his mercies. 

Apostle James also explains this, 

"... 12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, 

13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment. " James 2. 

Then, he explains on our most possible misunderstanding on the permissiveness of God & license to sin and advises on the actions to guard against our self-centered  misinterpretation and concludes again in his chapter 5: 

"10 Brothers and sisters, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 

11 As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy." 

But the most amazing explanation is through apostle Paul in his letter to Romans in chapter 5: 

"...7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 

8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 

9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him, Jesus our Lord! 

10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life,(that's the resurrected life of Jesus our #1 Guru!)

11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. (that's becoming real child of God with God our loving real father)

On the 2nd part devil/demons, I've explained this a while back on the purpose of devil/demons in our lives. Kindly refer here. 

Further, you asked, "Now could you pls explain this 

'But when he sees some children are more faithful and more diligent with whatever gifts given, he gives more gifts '. What a very earthly and temporal thing to do ... this is incongruent with the qualities of god ..." 

Huh! incongruent with what quality of God??? You are calling 'earthly & temporal' because this is what you've seen in many  humans I guess. 

And you probabky seem to have heard all qualities of humans are 'earthly & temporal'. 

This often is an excuse of an immature Christian when caught while doing or saying  some nonsense. Instead of 'Oh! sorry. I understand I said this or done this in this ignorance & immaturity. Today I've learnt this truth. I am praying God will help me not repeat this nonsense by me', this immature Christian will forcefully pathetically & annoyingly put what they said or did under the carpet using name of Jesus. 

When you encounter such Christians, just smile and run to your bible & quiet time with God. 

But if you consider that we all came into this earth from the heart & mind of our father God through the sperm & womb of our parents, you'll not see any wonder in many of our qualities matching with qualities of God.

In fact, human beings  require God's assistance to function as real mature human being. 

Jesus, our elder brother, is the forerunner & role-modeled how to live as a human being in dependence on the spirit of God 😊

"... hows he way better than humans then .In what way does he differ from us then?

Again I did not receive a straightforward answer Jesus knew his purpose all along ... he knew what was going to happen to him in the future ... do any of us know that??! How unequal and biased ! ... I’m quite certain that if we know that not even a single person is going to turn against god ... if at all one exists ..." 

Huh!! Who said Jesus knew his purpose all along???

Not true, dear.

He found his purpose & meaning of his life much earlier in time of his life than many of us is only true. 

It's clear to me that you are not reading bible and being carried away by what your loved ones say. 

I really see spirit of God leading you because the clarity of your observations & articulation is unparalleled and superior compared to many Christians who claim to be in the good books of God for several years. 

1st milestone of our healthy being is a deep thirst to know the purpose & meaning of our life. 

You've reached this milestone.

 

That's why I've no hesitancy in addressing you as my son in Christ. 

Like I suggested earlier, the book of Job & the book of John is exclusively written by Holy Spirit & made available to us to address this deep thirst of our spiritual being. 

Request you to kindly plan to read these 2 books, dear  ☺️🙏
