LIFE AND THE LAW - FAITH AND PURPOSE

So how can you have faith in your own life, your purpose?

1) First work on knowing who you are.

There is a new way to look at the world. We are taught to think of matter possibly having spirit in it. Today we know better - Spirit, or Mind, IS the main stuff; and it creates all matter. First Intelligence, then form. First Idea, then form.

2) Know that you are no accident.

There are no accidents. There is a random factor that operates on a small scale. But there is a guided purpose at work on a grand scale that stack the deck, loads the dice, and overcomes randomness.

If this were not so, then evolution would be downward as well as upward, and over billions of years we would have made no progress.

You cannot get a donkey from a pigeon’s egg, and you can’t get a carrot from an acorn. Everything flows out of the potential in the seed. If you trace your origins, back, and back, and far beyond back, you eventually get to the Big Bang that created the Universe. The potential for YOU was there, or you couldn’t be here. We are the children of the Big Bang, and it’s time to remember that.

3) Your purpose will be known if you are open to it.

Twenty years ago, I would never have believed I would be writing this. I know now that my purpose is to learn, and to teach. I will do this by speaking, and by writing.

Know that you have an unfulfilled purpose. So do your children. So do the people that drive you craziest. All those people you just can’t stand - Aall are here for a reason - and all have a chance to find out who they are, and be transformed in the process.

Can you believe that for yourself? Can you respect that for other people?

Finding out is so important, that it should take a fair bit of your time. Can’t you feel something urging you to live more, be more, love more, see more? Abundant Life is what Jesus taught. That means more of everything Good.
