Because He Lives

I have posted before about my life and the problems I have overcome.  I have just begun to share what God has done in my life and I am happy and at peace after years of being ill and not able to deal well with my past and the problems I have had.  I have blamed others for my disease, my parents, especially, and my brother and the people I worked for and with, and so on and so on.  I have discovered that as long as I hold on to my anger, I will be denied the peace I so much need.  It doesn't matter about the past.  It's over and done.  I have a wonderful husband who has been so very patient with me, I have 3 wonderful children who are intelligent and healthy and they are devoted to me.  I have 7 wonderful grandchildren, and they too love their Grandma.  I have so many gifts from God to share with and love and teach, how can I stay angry over a disease that affects millions of people?  I am fortunate beyond measure, to be well today and out from under the subduing effects of medication.  It kept me sane for years, and it helped me to find great insight.  That's my destiny.  To have overcome this disease with the love of family and God and people I have met along the way.  I am so blessed and so lucky to have met the man I am married to.  He is not a Christian, he is a Taoist, and the gifts he has from the Tao has helped me to find it myself.  It is the power of the living universe and can be tapped into to help others and to give us the sustenance we need.  We are all a part of it.  It is the life force and I call it God.  To me, it is the living power of almighty God to teach us, lead us, and give us gifts of great insight and mastery over the problems of life.  It is about being a part of nature, and finding the earth rich and giving and protecting.  The things that exist are our God-given heritage.  He created the earth and all the things we need to insure we are to have a long and healthy existence.  People today need this knowledge.  My husband is well-versed in the Tao and all it is and can perhaps explain it better than me.  I only know it is real and that I have found the living power of God and it is in everything.  Every human being is our brother and sister, mother and father.  We are all connected by the life force.  We are all one.  There is no need for wars and killing and murdering one another.  We are one people, one world.  We can have peace if we seek it.  If you think of God as a spirit, as the Bible teaches, it is easy to understand that He created everything for our benefit.  We have destroyed so much that He made for us.  We have killed innocent children and people and there have always been wars and most likely will always be.  But it doesn't have to be that way.  With knowledge of the Tao, we can change the world.  It is a gift.  It is the spirit of God.  It has always been, and always shall be.  I have eternal life because Jesus died that I might have it.  He died that I might have life abundantly, and you can have it too.  You don't have to do without the things you need.  There is enough food, enough money, enough goods, enough shelter for everyone.  It is the greedy hearts of mankind that have kept things in such a turmoil.  The hearts of men need a change.  Only God can do this.  Prayer and fasting, searching for truth, telling others about the freedom they can find for their lives and the creativity that exists in each and every one of us.  It is free.  It doesn't come to just a few people.  It is there for everyone.  God and you can connect like never before.  The Bible says that "God is a spirit and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth."  God is the spirit of the Tao.  He is not far away in a place we can't see or approach.  He is right here!  In every living thing.  He is a part of all of nature.  We walk and move and live and have our being in God.  He is all around us and through us and it is available and a part of all of us.  You only need to look in your own soul and your own heart and find the compassion that was made into you before you were ever born.  God's spirit lights every man that is born into the world.  He is the light.  He is the sun, the moon, the ocean, the sand of the beaches, the clouds, the rain the snow.  He is all and in all.  Read about it.  Learn about it.  Look within and find God.  When you do, Life will open up to you and you will know you are loved.  God gave you this freedom.  Use it and set yourself free of your past, your upbringing, anything that was a detriment to you.  You can let it all go and embrace life today as you never have before.  He has given me these words to speak to you.  I allow Him to use me in any way He sees need of and He does.  He is speaking to you and reaching out to you to embrace your God-Given heritage.  It is your right.  Don't deny your right to have these things.  Embrace life in all its glory and wonder and know that you are supremely loved and treasured by God, more than you ever thought possible.
