Humanity - A Very Holy Three: Christianity, Judaism, Muslim

God has allowed three systems in which to worship the One True God: Judaism, Christianity, Muslim. All three are children of good and faithful 'Friend of God,' Abraham. In my simple mind, we are siblings called Peace who have our own lives. We all work to provide for our children, come home from work and attend to our families.

Synagogues, churches, mosques, all represent our homes where we all learn to honor God and demonstrate the highest respect for human life as God commands.

I want to hope and pray that we as monotheistic followers are tied, linked, united together in the Holy fight against the evil that God hates: the abuse and killing of human life.

As a Judaic-Christian, my faith both instructs and comforts me trusting that My Lord Jesus Christ wants me to consider the lives of others as most precious because Jesus loved first. Jesus took all the power of evil upon Himself so that we could love one another as He so loved. 

I have to believe that God the Father is the Supreme Ruler and Victor over evil because Lord Jesus Christ conquered death and rose from the dead on the third day and ascended to rule and plead for humanity today. 

There are always people who want to hate, kill, and destroy; they do not know the One True God. 

Does this make killing right? No.

God - Destruction of a Cemetery: No Rest for the Weary

I saw a video today of a group of people vandalizing a cemetery by shooting the tombstones and kicking them down; stones with Magen David, crosses, names, dates, all stomped flat to the ground. My first thought and hope that this was a theatrical demonstration to produce a teaching tool. Then, as most people, I felt rather vulnerable.

I wish I could understand why or what caused such anger, hatred. I wish I could try to talk to them and tell them of the Creator's Supreme Love for them. I wish I could tell them how very blessed they are to be so healthy, striking, robust young people with such fine, nice clothes and shoes. I wish I could remind them they have the gift of action, boldness, drive, that only comes from Our Blessed Creator. If only I could tell them that they are very loved and cherished.

I wish they could understand that the Great Creator freely gave them life so that they could honor God and humanity.

I wonder if they ever think of why God wants them to live and why the names they are crushing are not living.

I know I must pray for these people and all who follow this ignorance. It is a very tragic ignorance to hate and seek revenge. God has His own methods and perfect Will: that all creation worship God and honor humanity.

Please, I must beg all to stop, look, listen, think; seek the Truth of the One True God in all things. If only we would just simply pray, reverence God and humanity.

I know if everyone would stop and pray, honor God in all matters, there would be an end to the destruction of the human soul.

God have mercy on me and on the whole world.

Humanity - My Family's Slave, by Alex Tizon, Atlantic, June 2017

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/06/lolas-story/524490/

After reading this article, I cried, then angered, then immediately tried to search for any solution. How in the world do we fight slavery? It's one of those impossible problems that totally crush my zeal, like the problem of prostitution, homelessness, poverty, and the other countless problems too big to solve.

Sin is with us until The Anointed One comes to earth. People without conscience will always lust for what they see, feel, and power at the expense of others. I will always be tempted and tested and often fail.

As a simple minded woman, all I know for sure is I am very blessed, so blessed I dare not complain about anything. I know God provides my food, clothing, and home. God has chosen who sits in power and God also removes people from power.

I must hold to the Truth that God is Supreme Ruler and I must Honor God and Humanity.

God have mercy on me and on the whole world. Please Teach us To Pray.

Submitted with all respect to Alex Tizon. May he rest in peace for his incredible compassion and selfless education through this article.

Study - Failure: A Worthy Teacher for the Best of Professionals

You must never be ashamed when failing a class, work project, or even life event when you have done your best. Your best effort in any circumstance is already a gold mine. I would rather have a professional who knows what failing is like than the 'silver spoon intellect' who never struggled to learn.

It is never necessary to fail, but if you do, here are some reminders:

• Never forget and take courage in the truth that you have done your best: managed time, health, obligations. This truth is totally unique for you and totally independent of other's opinions.
• Analyze the event and learn the lessons unique and special to you. You are the only one capable of understanding this special wisdom because you alone have suffered this lesson. This event will make you all the more solid in your profession.
• After you have done your best to correct your mistake, make needed restitution, and most importantly allowed yourself a quiet time/repentance with God, then get back to study, work, and do it all over again from scratch. You are most worthy to see success because you will not blame others for your failing, but take full responsibility.
• Approach the repeat as though it is totally new to you: learn as a child and what you already obtained will come to your aid as needed.
• It is never easy to fail, but when you have done all, given all, poured out your very heart/mind/soul to the task, you will always succeed at being the servant to humanity and thus making this world what it should become.

Never, Never give up; because you had in your heart to accomplish means someone loves you enough to plant the seed of possibility and has hope in you to become what our world needs. 

You are the Humble Servant to God and Humanity. I can't wait to see a better world because of what you accomplish.

Study - Ignorance and Failure: Honored Teachers

Ignorance is the most brutal teacher and Failure is nearly as brutal making them the most valuable, even though Ignorance cannot help defend in a court of law.

I have sinned against God and others countless times due to ignorance and failure. Ignorance of truth, facts, and most often due to my own immaturity.

If you have sinned due to Ignorance or Failure, here are some ideas to survive:

• Immediately ask God to help you understand the event. Pray, read your Holy scriptures, surround yourself with the sacred and higher thinking environments, such as a good art museum, a place of worship, or library; you need solitude. Never occupy your mind with mundane or cheap thinking such as 'it's their fault' or revenge, but use logic and critical thinking to sort out the painful lesson; how will it help you grow and be a better servant, in the future, is the most important goal.
• Never forget life lessons are totally subject to the individual; no one learns the same lesson at the same time. This moment is the beginning of learning; allow yourself and others the joy of the journey.
• Always help others prevent the pain through patience, compassion, understanding, and empathy. You do not know how others feel, but you have suffered and you need to learn from a mistake.
• Enjoy the learning space you find yourself: a second chance is freely given to correct, learn, grow.
• If a new job, then remember this lesson to be the better servant.
• If you have offended, humbly approach your victim to confess fully and ask their forgiveness and ask, 'how can I fix my mistake?' and never expect anything in return. Simply Honor God and fellow man. You value human life and the feelings of others.

Remember, there is always joy to be found during the learning from Ignorance/Failure process. You will be the better servant for your integrity. 

Your future will be all the better because you are better. A constant failure is one who is bitter toward others and never takes responsibility for their own actions.

Please rise up and above toward higher thinking and enlightenment.

World Peace - Just a Little Piece

    My faith allows me a position of peace and security while living in an uncertain world; this world teaches that my desires demand fulfillment at the expense of others. Human beings refuse to seek truth, attack, brutalize, and often kill for their own causes, desire, or enjoyment, while a large audience film the event with their phones offering no benevolent help. Governmental policies seem to lean toward a fatal class system, totalitarian or a more dreadful dictatorship. 
    I want to trust and believe that the best safest position for me is just a small piece of a place in Creator's Presence. 

• if I am a big empty building, then I will wait on the Creator to decide my purpose
• if I am just a lumber partical, then I will wait on Creator to form me

• if I am big, strong tree, then I will wait on Creator to decide my purpose  
• if I am just a piece of tree or leaf, then I will wait on Creator as I provide a rest for insects or a dinner plate for birds

• if I am a beautiful bird, then I will wait on the Creator to instruct the song
• if I am just a piece of feather, I will wait on His breath to lead me

• If I am a monarch butterfly, then I will wait on Creator to guide me 
• if I am just a piece of insect, mite, then I will quietly, diligently do the work Creator has given me

• if I am just a book, then I will wait on Creator to find my place on the shelf
• if I am just a piece of letter, yud, then I will wait on Creator to decide where on the page I belong
  

    If I am not a piece of anything and being no good thing, and no place to go but upward, then, I will be at the foot of the Cross where Perfect Peace is found.
    When all is said and done, God wants nothing to make us something: Peace.

God - Red, Yellow, Black, White Race God

During my elementary and middle school years, my family attended the Church of God in Christ where I learned some people take comfort believing in God as belonging to their own race. I've seen art books of Virgin and Holy Family as Asian, African, Indian/Pakistanian, Native American, and Caucasian, as well as wearing countless traditional costumes. 

While I find the international personification of God a most beautifully comforting concept, as a Caucasian Judaic Christian, I am very honored that the perfectly loving God could possibly love me; so honored that I am reminded of Fanny Crosby's hymn, 'I Shall know Him.'

If I am so very privileged to meet Our Lord Jesus, I will know Him not by His race, appearance, or voice, but I will know Our Lord Jesus by the thorn prints on His forehead, nail prints in his hands and feet, the healing stripes on His back, and the spear scar on His side. 

Then I am reminded of Charles Wesley's hymn, 'Arise my Soul Arise' where five pleading wounds He bears for me to intercede. 

How can the Great I AM love me? 

I don't know.

God - Healing the Fear of Anarchy

When my society and culture appears to lean toward anarchy, I am not only afraid of the disorder, but equally afraid of man's possible solutions. I found a little comfort in my Jewish prayer book and all I can know is my own need to reverence God and His Creation. Lord, please start your work in me first and please cast me not away in your wrath.


"Without Torah, there is no social order;

Without Social Order, there is no Torah.

Without Wisdom, there is no conscience,

Without Conscience, there is no wisdom.

Without Knowledge, there is no understanding;

Without Understanding, there is no knowledge.

Without Sustenance, there is no Torah;

Without Torah, there is no sustenance. "
