whenever i pass by roads, i would observe all people,locations around me.some even don't have a home to live, and some moving in luxurious cars! while some fall in between. some people are in born rich, hence get good opportunities, while some are struggling whole their life for them! All combinations! When God loves each and every child of him, when we all are devine parts of him, then why so?

Probably because some people don't know how or don't want to share what they have with others. Some people actually do share, and while some may not have much, there are people like this who share what they can, when they can.

We all are blessed, we just need to realize in what way. The rich are blessed with possessions. They get what they want, do what they want, be where they want. The poor are blessed with experiences of trying times which will (hopefully) build character.



Either way, you are blessed. You just make do with what God gives you. If blessings were quantifiable, you could say that God gives everybody the same amount of blessings if you total all the blessings people receive in their life. Material wealth is a blessing. Hardships are blessings.



Sometimes, I actually envy those who have more than I do. At least, when they make a good life for themselves, they can say that they worked hard for it and deserve the good life they have, unlike others who are born into it.



I remember a story I heard in school, and it goes something like this:



There was a boy who belonged to a well-to-do family. One day, his dad brought him to a farm and they stayed there for a week. On their last day in the farm, the father asked his son what he had learned.



The son replied, "Dad, you know what? At home, I have a computer, a TV, a Gameboy, and lots of other toys! Here, I have friends! In the city, there are lots and lots of malls! Here, there are rivers and hills and trees to climb, caves to explore and forests to play in! In the city, there are lights everywhere! Here, there are sunrises and sunsets during the day, and the moon and the stars during the night!"



"You know what, Dad?" he concluded, "I just realized how poor we are!"

Simple. We have to accept that humanity is a flaw, the bible describes it as sin. Cain and Abel...in timeline...closer to GOD, Yet they were different. Science calls it disease, psychology calls it disorder, some call it the Devil. Muslims calls it as a U.S creation, Socialist Liberatarians blame it on Jhon Smith and his invisible hand (capitalism). James Madison in federalist paper #10 called it a trickle up theory. Ghandi did not really opined on the issue, Budhha looked not at the external factors of society but at the inner soul. Sociologists called it the differential class structure. Marx called it an evil social structure, Socrates called it as the rule of the few imposed on the mass. Plato said that the psyche of the rulers (Bush for EX.) was not rationale therefore emotional thus there was need to create order within their psyche to rule well and just. Others simply say thats life.....so why??? You and I are a flaw God knows this, therefore all of our activities are flawed, government, schools, famlilies, relationships, addictions (porn, sex, child molestors, alcohol, cheating, and so on)which in turn affect all of us. We are greedy, give up your big car, buy what u need only, stop shopping at malls for clothes u do not need, strive for good, not success. Give your share to people --jesus said give all of your money to the people and follow me...follow him, his love for people not religion. Can you live by this? Yes you can, would you though? I can't. We are afraid of being ridiculed by society, Don't people look at you and judge of what you have become, "who you are" and if you love people, tell them there is a better life for them and guide to a better life, aren't you called religious. We choose the former. This is why Jesus said..."you need to be born again" but people don't get it, do they?

In my opinion, in a perfect balanced world you would not exist, the concept of help would not exist, we would all be equal, who would be the low paid janitor to clean your office building, schools etc. People are born with defects: cancer, aids, etc. are you willing to work for them? provide for them? would you work extra hours for this people? and still have the same equal house and car and food and education? This is the biggest challenge..can you take it? I really can't.

This reminds me of a story I once heard. There was a prophet that was taken to heaven and he saw many glorious things. The most touching part of this story to me was when he saw God The Father he noticed that there was many thousands upon thousands of little shimmering balls of lights swarming aroud His being.



To an angel he asked what those lights were and the angel took him closer so that he could hear better. And what he heared brought tears to my eyes. Each one of these lights were souls waiting to be born. And each one of these was very eager to be born. One by one they came befor God and asked if they could go and one by one he told a different story to.



To one He said there is an opening but you will be born into an alcoholic family and be beatin every day that you live. Will you go?" And the soul replied Yes my Lord I will go. Will you stay with me in these times of trouble?" And to him the Lord replied I will never leave you.



To another He said you will be born into severe poverty and you will suffer from starvation and you will see the people you love die. Will you go?" And the soul replied Yes my Lord I will go.Will you be with me?" And the Lord said "I will never leave you."



To another he said "you will be born to a mother who will not want you. She will give you up. Will you go..." And the soul said "I will go. And you will not leave me?" And the Lord said "no I will not leave you."



And another... the saddest one of all...He told "You will be taken from your mothers womb befor you have the chance to be born. Your mother does not want you. Will you go?" But the soul hesitated to answer the Lord. And the Lord asked him if he was afraid. and the soul replied" No Father I am not afraid. I just know that I am stronger than that. Surely you have a greater life planned for me." And the Lord replied" To be placed in a world that dose not want you and then to have them murder you takes the greatest strength of all. Trust in me that this is true. I placed my own Son in this very situation not to long ago." With that the soul proclaimed that he was not worthy to be placed in such a similar situation as our Christ but that he would honor our Father with His request.



During all this the prophet cried and wept with great sorrow because he knew that the souls knew what lie ahead of them and still they chose to go. Just like our Savior knew and still He chose to go.



I have paraphrased this story to some degree, but I feel that you get my point.If it ever gets to tuff, and it will, just remember that you can always call upon the name of Jesus and he will always hear you. Our situation sometimes doesnt change,but if you cry out to Him and repent, you are garenteed a ticket back home. God bless you sweetie, and remember that He is with us through it all.

because God have created us to struggle for each of our life. Its not measurable by wealth, but by heart. If you're happy with your current life, and thanks God for it, then the goal of your life is accomplished. be thankful... and besides, in the end you'll find that everything that had happened to someone is actually a good thing for him.

Because we're travelers having doom by nature...
