But it doesn’t seem to be working with all the homeless, desperate addicts and the downtrodden.
Even death itself is but a learning experience for the soul. The physical possessions or even the body itself really does not matter in the grande scheme of things as they are very temporary. But the things of the soul are permanent.
That does not mean that physical life is not precious. It is precious as the forum or stage that facilitates the souls growth.
That is the purpose of life here on earth. We are souls, placed here as seeds to grow. Love is the glue that holds the soul together and facilitates growth.
Matthew 13:36 Then Jesus left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”
37 He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom.
Love is far more important than all of the physical possessions combined. For only Love will take us to Heaven. Fear, anger and greed shackle the soul.
I am a Christian and have accepted Jesus as my Savior. But I have also died and gone to Heaven in this lifetime and returned to my physical body. Having experienced Heaven and having already met Jesus, there is no longer a sting of death for myself, but a welcome open door to a far better existence than here on earth.
Yes, there is evil here on earth, but God is in charge and His Divine plan is unfolding. In the end, all will be better than just ok, it will be fabulous; no matter the bumps in the road for the interim. I've seen it and experienced it already and await my joyous return.
It will be exactly as the Bible describes it. :
Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them.
He said:
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.
12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
In the grande scheme of things, all the gold and silver, or even the Bitcoins are worthless.
