So here I am looking at 30 years gone by, love, loss joy, pain, fear, hope, regret and gratitude. I have walked a winding road leading to now and in this moment I Live. the past is my perspective the future is my inspiration. I have waded thru much affliction and soared thru great moments. God....... GOD...... the title of perfection the father of truth, the redeemer of all his willing children. What must it be like to be from all Eternity to all Eternity? What would motivate a God to redeem or in other words perfect his children? in my limited minds eye, I see a being of love and knowledge, wisdom and grace, who has a sphere of influence which is ever expanding ever deepening. Whilst he achieved his harmonious existence and life, some sort of separation must have divided Him from the other intelligences that he was in the midst of. And as we were also from all Eternity to all Eternity and thus far not achieving as he had the perfected state of living, he devised a plan of perfection (salvation, happiness and progression) O* a circle is a symbol of certainty, an eternal continuation of cognizance. I believe that it was the knowledge of loneliness and boredom that quit possibly triggered the elevation of our Spirits.
God is a charitable capitalist.
As we find it not only impractical but impossible to wish anything (as substance or reality) into being we come to the very real and very necessary realization of work (effort and application) as a means of achieving absolutely everything! so when Gods "work and glory is to bring to pass the immortality and Eternal life of (man)" each one of us, then we learn what the true commerce of heaven is, glory and honor. Gold and sweat have no real place in an ever expanding universe which is without bounds and without equal. Satan was a fool in the respect that he would not risk a veil of forgetfulness and humility in serving a greater wisdom than his own in order to become as God is.
So it also was with us, we had a choice to make, follow Jesus the Christ or follow Satan the deceiver. happily we all chose God the Fathers plan and were born into this world new and hopeful. For you see if we were to continue rolling thru Eternity in a perfect circle of unchanged paradigm's then what would if anything be the agent for change, for growth and improvement? Dare I say little hope could be found in that, but fully 1/3 of the hosts of heaven bought into just that fallacy and followed after the dragon. I am ever a man of questions and tho I do not understand much I must conclude as I do, that we are, that we were and that we always will be. So How we live, is and always will be, the great quest of the individual, a matter of one's character and integrity. Were we to continue as the 1/3 have, what hope could we take comfort in, knowing we had willfully damned ourselves from growth. So to me it was a break in our circle, a timeline of purpose with starts and endings frailties and pain losses and gains, we became new creatures and were given something wondrous and pure, we were given a new LIFE. a way of aligning ourselves with truth, with the God's.
I have witnessed the Birth of My daughter a wondrous and beautiful experience of creation, which has no parallel. Love or passion is an actual force (energy) or agent for growth, Gods own love for us and faith in the truth, is what makes an Atonement possible and sure. All of God's covenants are doors opened to us at the ends of the paths of obedience. For there was a law irrevocably decreed in heaven upon which all blessings are predicated and it is by obedience to those laws which qualifies us for the blessings. So it is a form of work or effort on our part that facilitates the change. We can work in many varied ways such as prayer and pondering, which often are the way in which one becomes in-tune with Deity. The blessing of baptism and marriage and parenting are not fully realized upon this earth nor in these imperfect bodies. God gave us the gift of birth and of death. When we are resurrected into a perfect and capable body with minds wholly our own, what will we do with them? how will we act? what will be our work and our glory? so first we must learn inner peace and perfection, secondly we must commit to and marry to the opposite gender, attempt at bearing and rearing children, becoming also over time at peace with them and maybe, just maybe, we can learn to be at peace with perfected beings Like Jesus the Christ and God the Father! We have a sure promise from the Lord that if repent, turn to him in humility and hope, he will heal us and with us change our hearts and our desires to be in harmony with the truth and the perfection of Joyous living.
