yeauh, i know it's been awhile :) but. i was watching KIRBY, believe it or not, and Knuckle Joe was all like. kirby. do you want to die? and i was like. D'= ...but. in the end, knuckle joe threw something, kirby inhaled it, turned into fighter kirby, and together they defeated the bad guys! yay! :D so just remember, when things seem like. awful. you'll find a way out. trust me. :) or just trust in yourself. but. trust God more :] he'll never let you down. people, money, items, all can be destroyed, lost, killed, whatever. but God will be there for foreeeevah. seriously. he's BEEN here. before we were, after we are. he'll be there. he's the one you should trust. not your parents; eventually they'll die, not money; 'specially with THIS economy, geez...and not stuff...like. look at the fires. everything you own could gone like -snaps- that.
and all of you saying, "oooh no. God COULDN'T exist. there's too much suffering", etc. etc. look at a barber. if people don't go to him, their hair won't get cut or groomed. same with God. if you run away from him, pretend he's not there, if you don't GO TO HIM... you'll never be at peace. (all of you AGNOSTICS or ATHEIST or NONCHRISTIAN...this is for you ;])

hmmm first it started with kirby and ended barbers...lol
ReplyDeletebut good point.
aha, yupp, i tend to ramble sometimes...
ReplyDeletereally?
hmm
i wanna know what you're thinking...how you feel about it all now
"or just trust in yourself. but. trust God more :]"
ReplyDeleteHow about we save ourselves some time and NOT trust in ourselves at all? Let's just go straight to God. It's much more efficient.
you can trust God, but don't run away from your problems. Be responsible and don't use God as an excuse. (not that I'm saying you guys are)
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think everyone needs a anchor/something they can hold on too. Many chose God, and that's fine. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't choose other things. It's true that they can disappear anytime, but isn't that what makes it worth holding on to?
just some thoughts...
Trusting in God ≠ running away from my problems.
ReplyDeleteTrusting in God = admitting my weaknesses; exposing my faults; being honest about the holes in my life, and asking God to fill them.
I also agree that everyone needs an anchor. The problem is, we often mistake an anchor for a floatie. As a result, we get tossed back and forth by the waves. We can't seem to find anything we can trust--something that will bring us back to solid ground.
also, when you trust in yourself, your just setting yourself up for failure...we are honestly too weak to do much on our own. that's why there's so much destruction and hate in this world. if everyone did turn to God to fill them up with His strength, then we'd all be much stronger. ...yeah, i kinda caught myself there. don't trust yourself at all...yepp, only Jesus can be our Rock :D other things'll make you sink or just drag you down
ReplyDeleteJust pointing something out(don't get pissed off guys)
ReplyDelete"That's why there's so much destruction and hate in this world" so are you saying that god is strong enough? Because I don't see him doing anything...
But that's just me being cynical lol. I'm going to refrain from becoming TOO philosophical/nerdy sounding to keep the mood light xP
Great comment, Doppel. Nobody's pissed off here. This is good stuff.
ReplyDeleteYou bring up a great point: the question of evil. If God is all-good and all-powerful, and if evil exists in the world, then God certainly can't be both all-good and all-powerful.
To your comment: "I don't see him doing anything..." my two questions to you are: What do you expect him to do, and what would you like him to do?
Let's say he got all Genie on us and pointed his finger and zapped away all evil. Would that make you feel better? Would that make you believe in him? Honestly, if I knew he was going to do that, I would just quit trying to make this world a better place. In other words, if I knew he was going to make everything right in the end, why should I even care about injustice in the world?
I think it's cool that he gives me the choice to join him in bringing his kingdom into this world. I guess conceivably, he could point his finger and zap away all evil, but where would the fun be in that?
He COULD do that, but yea, He gives us a chance to help Him and take part in it. Like, his assistants taking part in His master plan. He could do it all Himself, but He gives us a chance to help, too.
ReplyDeleteBut right now not many people ARE doing their part. They're just living in sin and not doing what God has in store for them. He has a plan for EVERYONE, but if you don't turn to Him and accept this potential he could give you...nothing good will come out of your life. (You meaning people in general, not pointing fingers)
