God’s truth always comes in layers – stages – more follows from some. Yet, cessation of suffering may not be done with because we live in reverse of our spiritual needs. We seek to satisfy our instinctual drives and we forego being loving and authentic.
Why when we turn away from God at all and then sometimes we may even be so bold as to deny that we KNOW He loves us? Its fear.
Deep down, when a person begins to fathom that God is love, its strange… therefore, we live here in the universe that supports what is opposed to love. Its strange. Yet it makes perfect sense. The world of us almost to a one turn away from God’s will during the normal — even during the absolutely normal days.
Well, we most of us are in the same boat — its inking before we come to our senses. Some of us are going to get on our knees and say some fox hole prayer and or not even do that much and expect it all to be okay.
The human without God is riddled by fear – some cover it with hardness and they are just awful – you know that well, I am sure – others are working hard to be gentle and courteous and peaceful and less worldly but doing it alone. Today, I want to play a song and leave just a glimmer of something to think about. Its Monday; we are back at work and this is a no stress morning and day I pray.
The human without God is riddled by fear. Its not necessary.
I found the second video first – but I didn’t listen to her speak… I loaded it again after finding the first one … its WAY better that I did; Now, I am crying… a good cry it is… Thanks to Heather for mentioning the song.
It seems very strange actually to me that very brilliant men and women of science tend to miss the very most essential observations with so much time for them to see what is shown by God in a flash – His presence.
Thanks for visiting.

the Hunt for Truth 
It’s my favorite, but don’t forget about Brandon Heath’s “Give Me Your Eyes.” That’s my “All Time.”
I love Mandisa. I think she has an awesome voice and a great testimony. I have several of her songs. Thanks for posting this.
I have so much to say on this and some other posts on this great sight. But I will try to keep it short…hahaha.
We were created to worship God.
Our hearts can only be satisfied by God.
We insert things in the world to try to satisfy the deep longing we have for peace, but to know avail. Money comes and goes, people come and go, jobs come and go, cars come and go, health comes and goes, feelings come and go- BUT GOD….is the same yesterday, today and forever. He will never leave us or forsake us. We can only find true security and peace in Him.
If money could do it, we would not have so many rich people and famous people killing themselves. You get the idea.
There is a big difference between knowing about God and knowing God.
Not everyone who has a terrific brain will receive Christ. It is a spiritual issue not an intellectual debate. No debate will win someone to Christ, only the touch of the Holy Spirit can do this. People who will give a 20 page summary of why they do not believe in Christ, will refuse to drop the debate, and simply call on the name of Jesus, and see if He responds. They do not want truth.
The world today is looking for justification for a sinful, perverted way of living. The world today thinks they can take God out of things and clear their minds and conviction of Him. The world today thinks they will be able to claim the ” I did not know” card when they face the living God. Every person will get the chance to meet Christ, but under what terms? Jesus said in John 14:6 that He is the only way to the Father, no man shall see the Father except through Him.
Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord.
Its now, or it is later. Nobody can avoid it.
The irony in this battle that the world is fighting, is that God is offering a free gift, not something we have to perform for. The sacrifice has been made, at the cross. The only acceptable sacrifice to the Father is Jesus. We are either in Christ as believers or we are not in Christ and subject to judgment and penalty for our sin.
In the Old Testament times, the priest had to bring a sacrifice into the Holy of Holies on behalf of the people. God looked at the sacrifice, and if it was acceptable, the priest would leave and the people forgiven. If not, the priest was struck dead, and they pulled Him out by a rope. Notice God never looked at the priest, but only at the sacrifice. Often it might have been a lamb, which is why we call Jesus the ” Lamb of God”.
Awaiting the promised Messiah (see Isaiah 53) the people were under the law at that time, having to make atonement for their sins.
When Jesus fulfilled the promise of God in Isaiah 53 and died then rising again we began living under Grace. He is now the sacrifice. All we have to do is receive the savior, and believe on Him, to be saved. Our growth and understanding starts at that point. The Holy Spirit becomes our teacher.
As a matter of fact the Holy Spirit is the ONLY lover of Christ. Until we receive the Holy Spirit (receive Christ) we are unable to understand the Word of God.
So, memo to non-believers; God loves you immensely. However, you can no more take God out of His creation than you can write the word darkness on your window and make the sun go away.
Out for now-

Hi Eric, I couldn’t watch the video- could just be because I’m using my phone? It has no UMG embedded – dont even know what that means. Thanks for posting this up. Beautiful post 🙂
