Why GOD Why?

I wish I could tell you the answers to those questions most of it still unanswered in the world today. If it were answered do you think the place would be a better place. Frankly I do not think so. My heart cries and goes out to the young children hungry in tatters and the haunted look on their faces that say, "What is happening to me mommy?" It tears up your heart and you know deep inside your heart all the money in the world would not help her. She is what I call chosen and pre-destined to depart from this world early.

One million of the world's greatest and most notable pastors praying for her day and day out on a 24x7 basis would not make a difference because God has decided that time on this earth would be short. Period. I come across situations and stories like this almost every day in my life and I wish I could trade my life for her but then what...........what happens next, I have only but one life to give and there are 8 billion people that inhabit the world today. So, what and where is the solution. There is only one way out and it is not a where and a what, it is with a person called Jesus (The Messiah) whom the Father sacrificed so that we might all stand a chance of eternal life. His very name is an antipathy to most people in the world. He is hated and despised by almost all and His words are spat on. Yes Jesus is the very embodiment of the word LOVE, not love as portrayed by hollywood or bollywood but loved as portrayed where it cannot be seen in the deepest part of our hearts. I could go on and on writing about what this Person did for me but it would be point less if you are not ready to read and receive HIM into your life as well. 

No less than twenty times He has rescued me from the jaws of death and I expect Him to do it again and again of the nature that is in Jesus Christ. Put it in a nutshell Jesus is our Creator, Creator of Universe and galaxy, seen and unseen, above and below, man and animal. I was once scared stiff of death because of my advancing age and poor health but no longer, these are now like passports for me to join HIM in Heaven. When I was very much younger I gave my life to Him and then I stumbled and for a long time I considered a joke and anything to do with HIM tomfoolery. No longer are my thoughts skewed that way, to me now the smartness of man is the foolishness of God. I used to consider myself a very very smart person when compared with the majority of people but after having known Jesus I consider myself a pig-headed fool and idiot and undeserving of this wonderful and broken world that HE has given us. The brokenness part was a result of man's actions and the consequences for rebelling against a Person who wanted only the best for him. I once was addicted to movies but no longer, blockbusters now mean only one thing, I got block and I got busted.

One of the first things Jesus taught me was humility because without humility, one could not get along with other people, a most important and crucial trait if one were to grow. There are many malicious and wicked people in the world today and sadly many are staying along the road where I stay in short my neighbors. I used to reciprocate hate with hate but no longer after what the Lord told us how we are to treat our neighbors regardless of how they behave towards us. People say religion is but one part of life but I say religion signifies the very embodiment of LIFE. I wish for many things in life that I know I will never get some because it is not good for me, some because I cannot afford them and many because Jesus say that I do not have a right to them and it is better I disassociate myself from them. If I were to say I was not disappointed with how the way things turned out, I would be a liar. Of course I was disappointed but I also knew Jesus ways were very often different from our ways. For one thing he wasn't in the business of a popularity contest to win an award, in fact every single time, the opposite was the truth. In the world today, the business of telling the truth is considered foolish and unwise. Malaysians call it an anak jagung, Indonesians call it an anak bawang, both mean the same. 

In the past, yes it was true, I love to hear people who agreed with me, were nice to me with their sweet and seductive words and lies covered up with lovely imported silk from China. That was me in the past. As a result of my new nature, the number of my so called friends has almost been wiped out leaving possibly only two who were willing to live and breathe in an upside down world. When news broke out the Joe Biden had won the US General Elections, I felt that America's saviour had arrived but now it turns out he is as bad or even worse than Donald Duck Trump who quacked once too often and quacked his way out of the while house. Throughout my life I had no one I could claim as a mentor the one that comes the closest is one Mr. Ming-Teck Lee but even at that a very distant mentor. Well in my position, a distant mentor is better than no mentor. No he is not my best friend, I have never had any friends let alone a best friend, I am what they call the proverbial loner. I rather be alone than in the company of others, except for ONE whose company I will always enjoy, that is life for me now until the Father sends one of His angels to carry my soul back Home. Dont be sorry for me I have known and experienced both sides of the landscape and I confess I prefer to be a loner not because it is safer but because I am not overpowered by noise. To me the sounds of people's voices resemble senseless noise and noise disturbs the very core of my being.

Maybe they will talk in a different way in Heaven but I doubt it very much, because why then would God have given us a mouth and vocal chords. We all act and talk pretty much differently from one another. This is because no two of us have the same DNA. But I know that what we are dealing here is something much much higher and complex than DNA or its accompanying empirical data to prove its theories. We we are dealing with the unseen the spiritual world where the same hierarchies that apply on earth  also applies in heaven except that in Heaven the soul is the element that is magnified and given the most importance over everything else. We are almost like the angels but not quite there yet. In many ways we are still like human beings except that God has completed the perfection of our bodies and minds to its optimal capacity. I believe I have digressed too far from the main theme I was talking about and moved into territory where I am least qualified to post any comments. Though I also believe it has been sanctioned by God the Almighty and we are allowed to get in a word or two of our own. I am not a scholar, neither an academic or even a basic professional. My highest qualification is a Grade 2 Middle School Certificate with fingers that are very itchy and always wanting to put my thoughts and opinions into words. Whether anyone reads the stuff I write or not is immaterial. I am not an influencer nor even entertain any thoughts of being one. I do not earn a single cent from my writings. But more importantly for me is to for me to augment my belief and faith in the Lord Almighty.

Maybe the question we should ask is not why, but to what purpose, don't you think so, that would be more relevant. That at least would place whatever doubts we have in our mind on a higher plane. Many queries and concerns cannot be answered by a single why, but by increasing our intellectual output would make things easier clearer for the other party to respond to us.
