When we first came into this world, life was a mystery. It was like entering a wonderland with so much to explore. Then we soon learn that it's not a perfect place. When we see a lot of bad things happening to people, the concept of sin begins to materialize. Then we find God, the God of Christ for us now, and finally realize that it's the lack of love that causes our miseries. We now see the reality: the existence of truth, falsehood, holiness, wickedness, God, Satan, heaven, hell . . . and that life is all about love or the lack of it. We are not meant to live on the earth forever! If you only live for this life, may God have pity on you. We urgently need to awaken to this reality. Otherwise, we just remain trapped by sin!

***Amazing God
This is a very interesting video. I knew the story, but here it's presented again in more detail. What I learned from watching it are that God is amazing and that when we trust in him (as Tom Zimmer in this video did), our life becomes amazing too.
Announcement: Five hours ago, I had the feeling that this video would be taken down by YouTube. Sure enough, it happened. This is censorship at its worst! I checked on LifeSite News website, it hasn't been updated yet. I'll update this post again once it's available. Pray for Google who owns YouTube.
*****No. 1 Prayer Goal*****
Whenever you pray, reciting traditional prayers or speaking spontaneously from your heart, the No. 1 prayer goal that's unspoken but must be understood and present is that you are there to be obedient to the Lord. Very important, for the Christian life is all about doing God's will.
***Huge Difference!
Let the Devil possess you and you are enslaved by him forever. Let Christ possess you and you are set free for all eternity. Our choice.
**Be Realistic and Wise
We all shall face the LORD sooner or later, so why not face him right now to get ready? This way we'll be fully prepared, eliminating any future shocks. It is being realistic and wise. Procrastinators usually lose.
***Looking at the Big Picture
Many things big and little happen to us in life, robbing us of peace. When that happens and if you are already a Christian, I want you to look at the big picture. You already have the Lord, and that should be more than sufficient for you. This world is no longer your permanent home; you are just passing through. If the going gets a little rough, so what? In fact, letting go of all things in this life is what smoothes you way to your next life in heaven.
***Let Nothing Shock You*
God we must take most seriously, for he is forever present and the one whom we depend upon for life. The greatness of his glory, holiness, love, and mercy are beyond our comprehension. Know that heaven is more joyful than we can possibly imagine. By the same token, hell is definitely a lot more horrible than we can visualize. Never think that all your little sins are OK. When the illumination of conscience happens, you'll be rudely shocked. To enter heaven is hard if you don't have faith in Christ the Savior, but it becomes super easy if you accept and believe in him. Take the God of Christ seriously and you'll always be amazed and surprised, never shocked.

***We Are God's Children!
Near the end of the Mass this morning, the Lord made me see that we are all his children. Now, children are kids. As kids, we need to love our Father, get to know him, and ask him to teach us everything. We are not just some creatures that somehow showed up on earth and are left alone. We came from God and are meant to return to him.
**Wake-Up Questions*
It is unavoidable that we'll face God when we leave this world, and it's a given that we shall leave this world in a relatively short time. Then why are so many of us live as if we are never going to die and God doesn't even exist? Why are we burying our heads in the sand?
**God's Great Mercy and Love
Communion experience. I see all my imperfections and feel totally unworthy to receive the Lord, only deserving his pity; yet he doesn't mind, always giving me the chance to become more perfect.
