Manuscript of life!

What does your life story tell you? Are you talking about heroic journeys to exciting new countries of success and growth? Or is it an angry and repetitive dispossess against the vagaries of a universe that just wants to be harmful? Do you sing with finely crafted formulations and uplifting themes? Or is it truncated, sad, and full of errors, omissions, and clichés?

Some people feel that their fate is in stone. I believe that our lives are a continuous exercise in creative writing and as such, it is always possible to stop following the action we have used to illustrate our lives at this point, open to a new page, and start over. The universe itself does so at every moment of every day, constantly reinventing itself and setting the plot for the next moment.

I am enthusiastic about this eternal and continuous process as divine fatherhood. In the original definition of prayer, divine fatherhood referred to spiritual or religious books, writings, or other messages that came directly from God such as the Ten Commandments or written on the wall in the Christian religion or work directly inspired by such messages such as the Qur'an of Islam, which Muslims consider Mohammad's direct transcription of his visions of Allaah. But as we expand this thought, it is clear that the universe itself and all that it contains is a direct result of this divine calligraphy, and that we who have had the least spark of divine ability to create also have a hand in this story-approach of the universe.

Of course, there are entire libraries of intertwined threads that make up the whole of divine fatherhood, but here are the two main aspects that concern us particularly as authors of our life:

· What God wrote about life in our book before we were born:
This is the first basic draft in our history, with our first cast of characters, circumstances, gifts, and charges. Although this sets the tone of the story, it will not constrain or prevent change.

· What we choose as children of God by divine guidance - or his absence - in this approximate scheme:

We can simply choose the meat to follow the predefined path with little deviation from the bare bones. We can choose to add evil characters, write in unnecessary conflict scenes, and move away from our page counting as a result of dead-end plots and dissonant subtopics such as martyrdom and victimization. Or we can choose to go all the way, look for all possibilities and explore every option without fear and belief in the original outliner to try to squeeze every last gram of potential out of what was originally given to us.

Through this last form of divine fatherhood, we can truly recreate our lives as we desire, even though they also live in the world in which we live.
Of course, words are easier for some than for others. For the unhappy or unskilled, life may finally seem nothing, as long as a bunch of angry, wrinkled sides full of false beginnings, stripes, and meandering themes, while the happiest individuals simply seem to have the right words in their place, just as their feathers slide forward to write them. But each of us, if we choose to take the pen and ink firmly in our hands, can work in our craft with determination and commitment, with the counsel and love of the Creator behind our backs, and to follow our highest calling in our hearts until the story we create for ourselves is limited.

The army had an announcement at a time when it asked if anyone wanted to read the book of their lives or not. But the truth is that there is a much more important question at stake: If you enter your life after death, will your life story make heaven a bestseller and show how a man overcame adversity, fear, and indifference to make the most of the gift God has given them so generously? Or will you simply end up on the public network to warn of the tragedy of wasted unlimited potential?

Through the gift of divine fatherhood, each of us can ask for individual instruction and the help of the original author in rewriting, tuning, and polishing the manuscript of our lives until we are satisfied with the results. But this is the final form that none of us can predict will ultimately be examined by all of us - and fortunately for us, the most loving critic.
