Reason and Purpose -8

Today, as I look back on my life, I find it a lot like standing on one of the top steps of my stairway of life and looking down. Every step fits into place! Was I an angel? Never! I hurt people! People hurt me! I did bad things! I did good things!

I’ve respected my God, but I still often find myself trying the Lord, that One I believe in! Many times I’ve run headlong into corners doing what I thought that God wanted me to do, or the way I thought that God expected me to do them. I often find myself stumbling or even falling over one or more of the 10 Commandments, and surprisingly many times it felt so good! I even went back so that I could stumble over them several more times!

As I have said before, I don’t think I ever surprised my Creator! Everything I did or will do! And, I never even thought about the purpose or the reason for what I was doing when I was doing them. I never let “authority’s” judgment of me enter my life. When you believe you are living your Creator’s will you have few things to apologize for.

Early in life I asked many questions about Christians and the Bible. Before I was a teen I had lost respect for those authorities that had to wear special clothes to show me they had the authority! By high school I was having trouble separating mortal things from spiritual things. I had concluded that many of the people I was asking questions of were not any smarter than me!

Throughout my life I have felt that I was never alone, but I never could explain or put into words why! Many told me that they felt alone, but I could not understand why. I really never could understand alone!

After wasting half of my life expecting answers from mortals I finally realized that I had been knocking on the wrong doors! The “how” had been walking with me all the time!

After I figured out “how” came in, then I had to learn what to do with it. I can’t begin to explain the feeling I got when I got the first answer and figured out what I was supposed to do with it. Suddenly, I had the source for those unquestionable answers! Suddenly I had a feeling of freedom! I didn’t have a need to ask another question about religion! I now have received many unquestionable answers! I have answers and statements for all of my questions! And now I feel my life is complete!

I did not understand why all of my church’s teachings, for me, were always to ask and expect more! My life smoothed out those few years ago when I stopped asking for more! Now I asked for nothing! I only give thanks for what I have been given! And, I have been amazed at all of things I’m continually given! I do not ask the reason or the purpose! I just give thanks!

By the time you read this I will have lived past my 92nd birthday! (July 16)

It took me almost a century to find and understand unquestionable answers and statements!
