IN THIS WORLD...ALL OF US, IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER, ARE GOING TO HAVE TRIBULATIONS COMING AT US FROM EVERY AREA OF OUR LIVES. WE ARE GOING TO LAMENT AND CRY SOMETIMES RONALD, I MEAN...THAT IS JUST A FACT. GOD SAID IT AND THAT'S THE WAY IT IS. YES, THERE IS GOING TO BE UNFAIRNESS AND HARDTIMES BUT HE ALSO SAID...BE OF GOOD CHEER, I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD. THUS, BECAUSE I KNOW FROM THE WORD OF GOD THAT, 'GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS', AND LOOKS UPON US 'ALL' AS 'FILTHY RAGS BEFORE HIM', I SEE MYSELF AS 'EQUAL' TO ALL. MY WEALTH IS NOT MONETARILY BASED, BUT SPIRITUALLY BASED. RONALD, THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS...THE GREATEST BEING ETERNAL LIFE... WHICH GOD PROVIDED AND CONTINUALLY PROVIDES WHICH I 'CANNOT BUY'. THEREFORE, AS A CHILD OF 'THE KING' THE WORRIES OF THOSE THAT ARE 'BLIND' ARE NOT MY WORRIES FOR, WHAT IS PROSPERITY OUTSIDE OF GOD? THE WORD OF GOD ASKS; WHAT DOES IT PROFIT A MAN TO GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD, BUT LOSE HIS SOUL? GOD ALONE KEEPS AND SUPPLIES OUR NEEDS...'HE' IS OUR SOURCE(SEE MY ARTICLE; OUR SIGNIFICANCE).

AND WITH REGARDS TO THOSE WHO RESORT TO EQUALIZING THEMSELVES TO GOD BY TAKING WHAT THEY CANNOT GIVE...LIFE...THEY ARE COMMITTING MURDER. THAT'S WHAT EUTHANASIA AND ABORTION IS...MURDER. I KNOW BECAUSE I'VE GONE THERE(SEE POEM 'ABORTION'); 4X I TOOK A LIFE THAT GOD HAD PLANTED IN ME. 4X, BEFORE I UNDERSTOOD THE DEPTHS OF THE SIN THAT I WAS COMMITTING, I CHOSE TO KILL. NOW, ODDLY ENOUGH, I SUPPORT A PERSON'S RIGHT TO 'CHOOSE' ABORTION OR EUTHANASIA. WHY? BECAUSE 'CHOICE' IS A GOD-GIVEN RIGHT. AND WE ALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO 'CHOOSE' HEAVEN OR HELL, BUT THEY SHOULD 'KNOW' THAT THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING. FOR ME, IT'S THAT SIMPLE; WE CANNOT 'FORCE' ANYONE TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT. OUTWARDLY LAWS CAN FORCE ONE TO OBEY, BUT INWARDLY THEY ARE STILL 'SEETHING'. A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THIS IS THE MILLIONS THAT SUPPORTED OUR PAST ADMINISTRATION. WHAT WE THOUGHT HAD 'CHANGED' HERE IN AMERICA WAS JUST WAITING FOR THE RIGHT LEADERSHIP SO THEIR PENT-UP RACIST ATTITUDES AND CONVICTIONS COULD SPILL-FORTH AND, INDEED, IT DID. IT IS ONLY THE LIGHT OF GOD THAT CAN 'CHANGE' A PERSON'S HEART, MIND AND SOUL 'LEADING THEM' TO THE THRONE OF GRACE AND ENLIGHTENMENT. THE MOST WE CAN DO FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH GOD-OPPOSED MIND-SETS IS TO PRAY FOR THEM. AND THANK GOD THERE IS FORGIVENESS THROUGH THE BLOOD OF CALVARY. YES, WITH SINCERE CONFESSION AND REPENTANCE GOD WASHES AWAY OUR SINS(OUR BLINDNESS),'...AS FAR AS THE EAST IS FROM THE WEST...'. CONSIDER...

THERE IS ONLY GOING TO BE 'ONE' FINAL 'JUDGEMENT LINE'. AND ON THIS LINE WILL STAND 'ALL'...FROM THE LEAST OF US TO THE GREATEST, WITH EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US BEING JUDGED WITH GOD'S EQUALITY. THIS IS SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT, INDEED. GOD WILL NOT CONSIDER OUR STATIONS IN LIFE, NOR CREDENTIALS, NOR DEGREES, NOR WEALTH. IN THE END THE ONLY THING THAT WILL MATTER WILL BE...OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.

DEAR RONALD, IT SEEMS THAT ONCE AGAIN YOU'VE POSTED A 'PROVOKER' AND I HAD TO GO THERE. THANKS FOR SHARING, MY FRIEND. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

So true; so true.
Thanks for capturing the
essence of unfairness.

You make some interesting points…
Although many in power strive to make
Our world more equal…it never seems to
work out this way…I fear there will always
be significant poverty, and inequality, and
alongside much greed and selfishness…

In my humble estimation, you make some very valid points, Ron. An offer for survival for Earthians? Thank you for sharing. All the best to you,

Regis. 🙏🌳🌲🦋🦉

Truth in words. Nothing really changes until these truths are addressed, excellent piece Ron.

PS

The reality is that no one was born equally.

One's family's wealth is not always equal to that of another family's. Why should they be? People who work at different jobs will receive payments associated with the jobs performed.

Our races are not equal either. Each of us is a different and unique individual. I am different, but so are you! We should embrace our own values and differences.

If you want more money? - Work for it!
If you're satisfied with your life? - Enjoy your success!

There is no need to compare ourselves with others.


Sandie

Truth well spoken!

Very realistic views of life in general. We are all those things in our thoughts and behaviors. What sets some of us apart from everyone else is the ability to understand the complexities within ourselves.

Rebecca

while touting fairness to everyone,
but granting only flattering disdain.....

What does this mean? How can distain ever be flattering?

First off I often think how lucky I am to be born American. That I'd never been abused, or if I was, I do not remember.

Mark

A lot of good points offered and defininatly gives us something to think about on sometimes delicate subjects,
Fee

Unexpected though it may be, you make an important point. We do not all have equal circumstances and equal opportunities. Equality is one of those words that people throw around without considering the multiple implication as you have done here. Excellent.
