Bigger is Not Always Better

In this world, we are brainwashed to think that bigger is better. The more money, status, power or influence we have, the better we are. And yes, this seems to be true in this world, but in Gods world, it is so different.

If you read the bible, the most important commandment given by God is to Love. Love Him first and then love all other people. The bible even teaches to love your enemy and the people who have hurt you. Turn the other cheek. This request seems so unnatural, and goes against our human nature. If your whole focus is to live as comfortable as possible in this world, and believe that this is all there is, then yes, this is impossible for you to understand or even to attempt. However, if you are willing to accept there is a God, learn about Him, and believe He has a purpose for your life, you are able to think differently.

You will learn that it is not so much about you anymore. In addition, you see that it is more about the simple things of life and simple faith.

I quote, “If you have faith as a mustard seed you can move mountains or let the children come to me, they will inherit the kingdom of heaven, etc.” In Gods word we learn not how much or big, but how pure. Purity is a delight to God. Love Him with all your heart and do the best you can loving and forgiving others. Loving others does not mean respect. Respect is earned by pure actions. I will talk about this later. If your focus is on the now with all its material things and instant gratification, you lose the real meaning of life. Start reading the bible and re-direct your focus on God and His word, and that His purpose for your life will open a new and loving future.

Question:

If you love to read and study about all things, but something is blocking you from reading the bible, why is this? Is it not true that you only can have true knowledge about things you personally have seen or experienced? So why do you hesitate to read the bible?
