PICTURES OF CREATION
FOR ME IT SOUNDS SO MUCH MORE PERSONAL TO BELIEVE THAT I WAS PURPOSELY CREATED BY A LOVING GOD, THAN TO THINK I WAS FORMED BY ACCIDENT - THERE'S NO LOVE IN THAT THEORY. THE STORY OF CREATION WITH GOD CREATING US, OUR WORLD, AND THE ANIMALS IS SO MUCH BETTER TO BELIEVE IN. PLUS I ENJOY BELIEVING WE ARE ALL CONNECTED AS ONE HUGE FAMILY, BROTHERS AND SISTERS TO EACH OTHER, WITH A FATHER IN HEAVEN WHO LOVES US ALL. A PARENT WHO LOVES US NO MATTER WHAT WE DO, WHAT MISTAKES WE HAVE MADE IN THE PAST OR WILL MAKE IN THE FUTURE. HIS UNFAILING LOVE IS GUARANTEED.
ISAIAH 64:8 SAYS
"BUT NOW, O LORD,
YOU ARE OUR FATHER,
WE ARE THE CLAY.
YOU ARE OUR POTTER,
AND WE ARE ALL
THE WORK OF YOUR HAND."
"BUT NOW, O LORD,

HERE IS A QUICK OVERVIEW OF CREATION BY GOD

GOD COMFORTS US IN ALL OUR TRIBULATIONS, SO WE MAY BE ABLE TO COMFORT OTHERS WHO ARE IN TROUBLE,
WITH THE SAME COMFORT WE OURSELVES ARE COMFORTED BY GOD. 2 CORINTHIANS 1:4

NOW DAYS BEING A CHRISTIAN AND BELIEVING IN JESUS CAN BE SEEN AS A BAD THING TO MANY PEOPLE,
BUT THEY DON'T REALIZE THAT JESUS CAME TEACHING ABOUT LOVE AND LOVE IS WHAT THE EARLY APOSTLES TAUGHT OTHERS.
IF THIS WORLD ACCEPTED JESUS AND HIS TEACHINGS THAN IT WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER TO LIVE IN.
NEIGHBORS WOULD LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER, RACISM, ABUSES, HUMAN TRAFFICKING,
AND MANY OTHER HURTFUL ACTIONS WOULD HARDLY EXIST.

HERE ARE SOME BIBLE VERSES ABOUT LOVE
BUT I SAY TO YOU, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, BLESS THEM THAT CURSE YOU, DO GOOD TO THEM THAT HATE YOU, AND PRAY FOR THEM WHO SPITEFULLY USE YOU AND PERSECUTE YOU. MATTHEW 5:44
YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH. THIS IS THE FIRST COMMANDMENT. THE SECOND IS LIKE IT, YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. THERE IS NO OTHER COMMANDMENT GREATER THAN THESE. MARK 12:30,31
I JOHN 4:7-12 SAYS "BELOVED, LET US LOVE ONE ANOTHER. FOR LOVE IS OF GOD, EVERYONE WHO LOVES IS BORN OF GOD, AND KNOWS GOD.
THEY WHO DO NOT LOVE, DO NOT KNOW GOD, FOR GOD IS LOVE. IN THIS WAS MANIFESTED THE LOVE OF GOD TOWARDS US, BECAUSE GOD SENT HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON INTO THE WORLD, SO WE MIGHT LIVE THROUGH HIM. HEREIN IS LOVE, NOT THAT WE LOVED GOD, BUT THAT HE LOVED US, AND SENT HIS SON TO BE THE ATONEMENT FOR OUR SINS.
BELOVED, IF GOD SO LOVED US, WE OUGHT ALSO TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER. NO PERSON HAS SEEN GOD AT ANY TIME. IF WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, GOD DWELLS IN US, AND HIS LOVE IS PERFECTED IN US."

ONE OF MY SURVIVAL STORIES:
YEARS AGO WHEN MY KIDS WERE YOUNGER, WE WERE ON A ROAD TRIP WITH MY MOM. WE STOPPED AT A CUTE LITTLE CONVENIENCE STORE/RESTAURANT THAT WAS ON A HILL, SO BEFORE GETTING OUT I PUT ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. AFTER EATING WE GOT BACK INTO THE CAR AND I HAD FORGOTTEN TO RELEASE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE.
MILES DOWN THE TWO LANE HIGHWAY AND GOING AROUND 55MPH A CAR WAS NEEDING TO TURN LEFT SO THE VEHICLES UP AHEAD HAD STOPPED BUT WHEN I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN, THEY DID NOT WORK. THE HOT EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD SOMEHOW AFFECTED THE NORMAL BRAKES.
THE WHITE TRUCK IN FRONT OF US WAS GOING TO THE RIGHT AROUND THE STOPPED CAR THAT NEEDED TO TURN LEFT, AT THE SAME TIME I WAS APPROACHING FAST, AND TURNED MY CAR TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID HITTING THE BACK OF THE WHITE TRUCK AND MIRACULOUSLY THERE WAS A SHORT PAVED PULL OUT AREA. SOMEHOW MY CAR WITH NO BRAKES, SPED PAST THE TRUCK, THEN SUDDENLY STOPPED AT THE EDGE OF RE-ENTERING THE HIGHWAY, LETTING THE WHITE TRUCK GO SAFELY BY, WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE RAMMED INTO MY SIDE OF THE CAR.
TO THIS DAY, I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THAT CAR STOPPED WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE ONLY EXPLANATION IS THAT THERE WAS AT LEAST ONE ANGEL THERE WATCHING OVER US AND WITH THE GRACE OF GOD, HE STOPPED THE CAR. BECAUSE HOW DOES A VEHICLE WITH NO BRAKES SUDDENLY STOP?
HOW ABOUT YOU? DO YOU HAVE A MIRACLE STORY?

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN AND BELIEVE IN GOD AND JESUS, THEN SAY A PRAYER SIMILAR TO THIS ONE:
DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER I'M SO SORRY FOR ALL THE SINS I HAVE DONE IN MY LIFE, PLEASE FORGIVE THEM AND HEAL MY HEART. I WANT TO BE YOURS AND FEEL THE COMFORT, LOVE, AND PEACE THAT ONLY YOU CAN GIVE ME. PLEASE TEACH ME HOW TO BE A BETTER PERSON, WAYS I CAN HELP OTHERS, AND GIVE ME WISDOM TO UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE SO I CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT YOU AND KNOW WHAT IT SAYS. PLEASE HELP ME TO TURN MY LIFE AROUND, AND SEND POSITIVE PEOPLE INTO MY LIFE BECAUSE I WANT TO CHANGE, I WANT TO BELIEVE, I WANT TO HELP OTHERS. IN JESUS'S NAME, AMEN.

OUT OF YOUR FLESH,
AND I WILL GIVE YOU
A HEART OF FLESH."
