Life… It is a precious gift from the Lord Himself. It is so fragile and unpredictable. There are so many components that are equally as important when it comes to understanding the essence and value of life. Well it ever be understood in its entirety, I highly doubt it. One reason being that we did not create life itself so to have full knowledge about something that is so complex, finite and uncertain is…. quite impossible.
The blessings, heartaches, pain, happiness, redemption, opportunities and the fear/anticipation of the unknown encompasses the quality of life. The essence of life is about trials and errors. The essence of life is about opportunities to grow and learn from our mistakes. To thrive and accomplish whatever it is that we set our minds to – even if the odds are stacked against us. That is why when things get rough, it is important to keep pressing forward and not give up. Please. There is always a light at the end of every tunnel. Perseverance is crucial in overcoming obstacles that we conclude are too difficult to defeat. I know, I know… it can be difficult. But my brothers and sisters, we are not alone. We CAN confide in one another when we are going through our darkest times. Whether it is our family, friends, romantic partners, colleagues, professors, counselors, pastors, etc. We all (hopefully) have someone we can trust with our feelings. A moment of weakness does not define you – it molds you and it builds you. It makes you resistant for what is next to come.

What is Missing?
There are people in this world who are going through troubling circumstances and giving up seems easy than enduring such traumatic experiences. There are those who feel like they have nothing to live for….. There are those who are constantly searching for something to excite them but are never completely and truly satisfied.
Completeness of a Person further discusses one certain issue that pertains to those who feel like something is missing but they do not know what it is. (Why do I feel so lonely when I am surrounded by loving people? Why do I feel this way?) We have all been there. We sometimes feel like there is something out there in the world, something bigger than life itself.
The Milky Way.
A force to be reckoned with.
A spiritual power.
That forceful power of magnetic energy is God. Deep inside, we have a soul that God gave us. Our soul is simply going through the motions in our physical bodies, only until we pass on to the afterlife. Now, I do not want to infuriate anyone with my faith… but His presence is just too overwhelming to ignore. God has changed me and my life and because of that, I owe Him immensely. He is still currently changing me as we speak. Words cannot explain how truly wonderful the Creator of this Universe is. The Son of the Living God died for our sins so that anyone who call upon His name, shall be saved.
I created this blog, to not only share my experiences to those who might be interested, but to help those who feel lost or at war with themselves. Trust me, I know what it feels like to feel inferior and alone. I have been wanting to do this blog for some time now and I feel like, now more than ever, it is important to draw closer to God. (We are living in unpredictable times). Calling out to God and accepting Him as my Lord and Savior, has restored me.
However, to my friends around the world who are going through Hell – my heart goes out to you. Friends who are battling suicidal thoughts… I am encouraging you to seek fellowship with the Lord. But until then, you have a friend to confide in. Pour on me every emotion that you feel so that we can try to get you to a better place. I’d be happy to console anyone who wants someone to talk to. Even if you want to vent, bring it all in!
Words cannot express how apologetic I am and how sorrowful I feel that there are people in this world who feel like they have nothing to live for. I am deeply sadden that the world is so cruel to people who do not deserve such pain. I am here to tell you, that you are special. There is a reason why the Lord woke you up this morning. You are not a burden. You have a purpose.
Furthermore, a special shoutout to my people around the world who are only alive because they know that their friends and family would be devastated by their deaths. I sincerely thank you for thinking about others and pushing on even when you do not want to. For those of us with mental ailments and/or battling addictions, you are not alone. Do not be ashamed of your condition because of what people might think or say. Last but not least, to all my friends around the world who have gone through or are going through violent acts of sexual abuse, I want to genuinely shower you with my positive and loving energy. Please, do not give up. I will be praying for you continuously.
Trials and Tribulations
We all go through situations that are negatively impacting our growth – whether it is mentally, emotionally, physically, environmentally, psychologically, and/or spiritually. We are constantly being hit from all angles. These stressful encounters makes us hate the world, the people in it and God Himself. Being victimized repeatedly and having our experiences downplayed and/or swept under the rug as if nothing happened is absolutely horrific and soul crushing. I commend anyone who had the strength to stand up in the face of evil and reclaim back their lives. Even those who succumbed to their hardships by ending it all, you are not forgotten and your memory will live on with those dearest to you.
Those of us with incurable diseases or faced with bleak hope of fully recovering, may God give you the strength to fight on and cover/comfort you with His love. I still believe in miracles. Doctors do not have the last say – God does.
I commend those who are finally healing by not suppressing their negative emotions/experiences and simply letting their feelings take their course. Healing is all about giving yourself the right to feel everything. The betrayal, pain, abuse and heartache, for however long you need in order to recover and come back stronger. Suppressing, trying to forget, or even denying what you’ve been through, will only be hurting you in the long run. My friends, I speak from personal experiences. Of course, I am no expert nor do I claim to be. Some might think I have no right or credibility to speak on an issue so deep. However, what you’ve been through, as detestable as it was/is, will continue to live in the back of your mind if you don’t forgive yourself. You absolutely did not deserve it nor did you do anything wrong. Unfortunately, the world we live in is a wicked world where manipulative individuals, who are deprived of a conscience and are on the lookout for their next victim, are always on the prowl. Just like the Devil himself. Please, take back your power.
Satan
God takes the heat/backlash when things are not going well or when we’ve been through torturous nightmares and back.
“Where was He?”
“If God is so good, why didn’t He save me?”
My friends, let me tell you something. Any good that has happened to you, to someone that you love, or even receiving an undeserved blessing, was because of God Himself. The evil in this world is because of Satan and his hatred for mankind because of God’s unwavering love for us. There is no denying the world is sinful and is populated with evil forces and malevolent spirits that are trying to break us. They do not care about us. (Check out Greed for more on this).
These forces want to destroy you. They will make you hate God because they hate God. They will make you feel as if what you are going through, the Lord is the cause of your misfortunes. My friends, I am not trying to project God unto you but I am simply speaking from experience. I will go into details in the near future.
Now I do not want to go into depth about the beginning of the world and why it is the way it is now and how it came to be (the fall of Satan/Adam and Eve), however, if need be and upon request, I will give an elaboration as to why people are the way they are now and what caused such wickedness to be prevalent in our society/world today. (I did touch on this a little bit in Sinful Nature if you’re interested).
I will also elaborate on what has to be done to gain a better understanding of the Lord and what we can do to draw closer to Him. I must warn you, it is not easy to walk with God. Trust me, I am still experiencing the effects today (I will go into further details in the near future). Of course, once you are getting closer to your blessings and redemption, the adversaries (Satan/demons) respond by attacking harder so you would be disheartened. They (the enemies) will start to focus on you because you finally came to the realization of the true power of Jesus Christ and you discovered God’s saving grace and his merciful Nature. They do not want you to know nor unlock the blessings that the Lord has in store for each and every one of His children.
Our battles are not with mankind. It is with Satan and his demons. Their mission is to make sure we never find our salvation in Jesus Christ and that we continue to indulge in sinful behaviors. They try to distract us with obstacles we think are too big to bear and overcome. These evil spiritual forces will continue to diminish our faith in the Most High. If they are successful, we will never find glory in God. My friends, it is a battle everyday for our souls. But once you’ve given your life to Jesus Christ, the world will start to hate you because Satan is the god of this world. The betrayal of people close to us will be rampant because of our walk with God. However, that is not your loss. They are showing their true colors. If they reject you because you now accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior – you never needed them.
I know it seems like I am pouring all of this information all at once to you, but it’s necessary. My blogs will start to get narrower and specifically tied to a certain event that took place in my life and/or worries/questions in/about life that we experience day to day. Bear with me, as this is my first attempt at writing and creating a blog. I would like for the world to read them and relate to them if they can.
My mind is constantly racing and I tend to say and write more than I should. I can’t help it, I’m a Gemini. I want this site to be an open discussion. For believers and unbelievers, black and white, poor and rich, homosexuals and heterosexuals, young and old, conservatives and liberals – literally ANYONE. I want to also know what YOU think the essence of life is all about.
Please, feel free to pour out your inner feelings, insecurities, battles you face on a continuous basis and your fears. However, I ask that we are mindful and considerate about others and their vulnerabilities throughout this site.
There is soooooooo much to talk about! The essence of life is complicated but with the right mindset, your optimistic side will prevail. Until next time, GOD BLESS. (P.S. I will introduce myself in my next blog, stay tuned……. 🙂 Thank you for checking out https://spiritualandlifediscussions.com/.
