DO YOU BELIEVE

Do you believe that there is something out there greater than you?
Is there a spirit surrounding us all the time? How all the worlds wonders
were created? It is always on my mind when l see and dream in color.
Every since l was a child that’s the way it was. Do you believe you have
a guardian angel that watches over you. Have you ever seen one when you
we’re a child? Now l can’t physically prove this to you without a photograph
but l saw mine when l was about 11 years old. Some of you may respond to this
with (LOL) some of you won’t. like l said l can’t prove it.

Which brings me back to the subject of faith and believe in something
greater than yourself. We have a lot of people today and throughout history
Who thought and think they are God and can do anything they want
to innocent people HITLER, KKK. Nazi concentration camps, the
killing of innocent children and women through poisonous gas,
lynching of black males all the way up to the 60s. Women of color
being raped by their masters while the husband had no say so
at all, long before white women suffered the same thing. Sexual
misconduct by, Comedian Louis C.K, Actor Richard Dreyfuss, Singer Nick Carter,
Actor Dustin Hoffman, Actor Kevin Spacey, President Donald Trump, PBS+CBS
Host Charlie Rose, NBC Matt Lauer, America’s Dad Bill Cosby. The list goes
on. No woman should be forced to do anything! I tell my daughter that all
the time.

Some people love to go church and put on a show of compassion because
they think that will impress God or the spiritual being .
Than leave and quickly act cold hearted because they see someone
who looks different from them. Boy that’s a lot of nerve! News flash!
We didn’t create these wonders of the world, were just living here on borrowed time.
Let’s not get full of ourselves! Yes that includes me.

Do you believe there was a being named Jesus who died for our sins then bear the cross
for us. That God gave his only son? Do you pray with gratitude in you’re heart or only
when you want something. Do you ever pray for those who are less
fortunate than you? Do you care? Is God or you’re spiritual being only important
to you when trouble arises or you’re scared? Ever notice how some
how some people say they don’t believe. But as soon
as they get into trouble. Oh help me God!

My father when he was alive had a saying. Tell it like it is.
You may put on a good show for the public but deep down
inside only you know if you’re sincere or a phony. People will
find out eventually. The question is what type of life will
you have lived. A giving one with compassion and love or
hate, racism, sexism, jealousy and pettiness, our choice.

Do you love and honor your parents who sacrificed for you
and raised you? Do you respect senior citizens or are they
a nuisance to you? They have earned the right of dignity and
should be treated that way. Often l have seen people just
get so frustrated with them because they move to slow.

When someone ask you a question do you give them a honest
answer? When people gossip do you join right in? If you have
chance to take advantage of a aging relative finically would
you do it? My niece did it to my father when he could no longer
handle his money. Are you always looking to start a negative
conversation because of the dissatisfaction in your life.
What do you believe? Only you can answer that.AE109721-ECB3-48A1-BFAF-B1CE12FC5AB7.jpeg

Indeed, not all people who go to church who shows compassion to "God" are sincere...Let us all reminded that the life that we have today is we just borrowed from "him" .Let us be thankful to him and always remember him in our hearts as we follow and honored our parents.....

Well said. Thank you.

Yes , I believe that there is something out there greater than me ...I believe I love my parents who sacrificed for me .... I think everyone should have some confidence their own soul ... and personality....nice story and art ...

Thank you prova.

nice post luckyfellow check my blog i have many post of art i think you like it because you are a good artist .

Thank hitachi2.

Great food for thought, Juan. Sometimes people need reminders like this to look in the mirror and analyze themselves. It’s a good practice while we’re walking in this world to think about this every single day.

You got that right my brother.

Try to read psalm 83:18 for you to see the greatest of all. Im following you now!

Thank you ayerz.

I believe in a higher power that is out there. I don’t believe in karma. This Higher power created a conscious being that make their own decisions and choices. Bad things happen to good people. Staying close to your higher power and radiating in it helps you stay even and peaceful.

It helps how you respond to situations around you. It won’t change anyone else but it will help you.

I’ve realized this power recently. My stress has never been lower and my anxious thoughts have been lessened.

We are definitely to gather all part of an energy.

A thought provoking piece which deserves to be read by many.

I know Spirit is real and have encountered my Guardian Angel - (we all have one as well as a spirit guide and often a team too!)

Not too enamored personally by organised religion and have certainly met a few folks who hide behind their christianity and act appallingly towards others!

Try to be kind along my way.

Be happy.
