I realized no matter what I did in my past I could be saved. I truly believe God puts people in the path of others to help them through their lives.
Having been saved from what I call "a prison that I had constructed by exercising my God given free will" I now realize that the above statement is true in my life. Looking back over the last decade of my life, having finally taken some constructive action to change it, I can clearly see these people who have crossed my path carrying a message of hope and salvation directly to me.
I don't claim to understand God so I pray to a God of my misunderstanding asking only for the knowledge of his will for me and the power to carry that out and only when I am willing to shoulder whatever responsibility that entails does it work in my life.
I tell people all the time that "if you are praying for the knowledge of God's will for you and the power to carry that responsibility out, you better be paying close attention to the people who cross your path because those people are directly related to those prayers.
I believe that my responsibility in God's eyes is for me to help and befriend my fellow man and to lift up, praise and glorify God's name everywhere I go. I feel that my belief should be manifested in my actions and if someone else is attracted by my actions they will be inspired to change some things in their own lives and my job was done well.
It is only when I begin to tell others what they need to believe, that my belief is the only right belief, that I lose the humility that I am attempting to display in my efforts and I begin to create discord instead oh harmony.
I have neither the right nor the responsibility to tell others what they should believe in.
Having said all that....joined
