Aftermath - Many times our ways are not the ways God
intended, even if our ways carry the best intentions and are good ways.
God has domain over the whole universe and so there is no minuscule
creature on earth that can upset His will, without paying a very high price of
solitude and despair, of true defeat and alienation for defying His will. That
is why incredibly powerful empires and kingdoms have succumbed after choosing
the wrong paths and finding themselves at that disgraceful point of no return.
God, our creator, is the truth and love is His way, and we
must follow Him with humility and forgiveness. Thus, anyone that is looking only
after their own convenience or after satisfying their own ambitions and
selfishness, always end up destroying themselves, even if on appearance, they
seem to have gotten everything. Unfortunately for them, life on earth is finite
and short and the true judgement for eternal life is before only our One and
only living God, the only justice, the almighty and omnipotent loving God.
Jesus the only Son of God is the word who brought us our salvation
and He is the path, the only way and he requires from us to be individuals with
identity, and to be fruitful by loving our neighbor as we love ourselves, after
loving God with all our hearts and intensity. Prosperity is growing and
multiplying, not our material gains, but in our human dimension, in our
dignity, as creatures of God.
Loving is giving never expecting to receive anything in
return or as retribution, love is not a negotiation. Those who give, expecting
to gain something; are condemning themselves as their intention is only to
provide themselves, despite the suffering of their friends and neighbors.
Loving is not to force others to love but to show love so that others can find
the truth. The history and triumph of the Church is in that path of martyrdom
and sacrifice, and when some have failed to deliver, the damage has been much
more impacting, as the enemy, the damned one, the angel of evil, will always be
there ready to profit from the misguided that fall under their own selfishness.
One of the devil’s main weapons is confusion, because it is confusion what
grows in the souls of those who try to see profit and nothing profit from any
actions or paths they take.
There is always light before us, to follow, if we can only
put aside our ambitions and selfishness and focus on the blessing we have
received from our Creator, of being created to His image and likeness, on our
dignity as human beings, on the precious gifts we have from Him, of life and
freedom. To fight for them can involve sacrifice and even death of the body,
but to win is to preserve the purity of the soul.
Peace will never be avoiding conflict or controversy but engaging
the truth, of love, with humility and forgiveness, with faith, hope and
forgiveness.
Looking forwards will always be promising when God is with
us, when Jesus is there to guide our steps and find our way, through so much
unfairness and injustice, specially against the less fortunate and the most
innocent between us, who are massacred in the name of selfishness, from
politicians and from people who have conceded to their ambitions and greed,
letting the innocent to be murdered so that they can maybe, perhaps, enjoy some
potential new life in the darkness of evil.
God bless our ways and provide us with the strength to
continue the fight, for truth, peace and prosperity, from the individual to
society, for life and freedom, gifts only coming from God not governments,
systems or anything invented by humans, with dignity as He has created us all.
Faith not fear, hope, not despair, charity, not selfishness.
