More Life & God thoughts..

If Adam had truly disobeyed God and Jesus is the one who made peace, then every day that we are alive is a second chance for us to make right with God through Jesus. Every day that we forget this fact, is then just a waste of time.

Life is indeed like a box of chocolates.. one day you pick a nice truffle, but the next is praline (ekk!!) And you wish everyday is Ferrero Rocher!

Some people say, imagine the end before you begin anything. In life, if we imagine the end, we probably need to be prepared to hear how we'd die. If Jesus told the disciples how they'd die before they began journeying with Him, do you think they would? If we imagine our ends, do we find ourselves terrified with the fact that we may die horribly in a car crash, or a sudden heart attack? Perhaps, the answer is to cling on less tightly to this fleeting life on earth and imagine eternity instead of "the end".... can we imagine the beginning of eternity that takes place after "the end"?

If dreams are the effect of our thoughts, then there should be 3 kinds of dreams (as with thoughts) - Godly dreams, our Own dreams, and Bad dreams. Godly Dreams are what takes us out of the mundane into the realm of faith, hope, miracles and creativity. Our Own dreams are what gives us motivation in life (to live out our 'dreams') and what we think we'd like to do. Bad dreams then counteract everything and inspire fear, dread and confusion. Are you lost in a bad dream? Jesus' mercies are new every morning.... new every morning...

When we are at wit's end, we dig deep into our heart and find only darkness and chaos. That is when a simple "Our Father" or "Hail Mary" saves the day.
