Universe Helps or ?

When the universe chooses - seemingly - to ruin one person while uplifting another.

Is it unfair?

Does vastly, empty space, dust, dark matter and energetically fusing atoms help someone like you and me?

Can the immeasurable universe think, feel, care and send help when one needs such attention during a tough time? Must you believe in order to obtain help or does it just occur? Is this an attitude similar to " wishing upon a star?"

If the universe is so real and caring, why doesn't life exist -everywhere...and if it does, where are those living alien civilisations ? Why hasn't the SETI project discovered any--apart from us ? (after decades )

Some contend that aliens are here or have been visiting for centuries, but why hide, when we would probably welcome them? Aren't there petroglyths depicting UFOs or ancient alien astronauts? Where are they, those advanced alien species? Remember books,songs,movies and plays have been created and performed. Expectations are running high. Many muse openly, "we could live side by side ". Or, "ask the super- intelligent Ai to seek them out?" Again, are we really alone, after all?

" Why, o why, my alien person, do you hide, where art thou?"

Of course, that compels asking the question,if the universe cannot help and isn't a viable, living entity-- what or who is?

Where DO we find help ?

Our Hearts and Our Words:

Our Hearts and Our Words

One of my favourite quotes from Jesus is when he said, “... the mouth speaks what the heart is full of” (Luke 6:45).

Jesus is telling us that we can often see what is in people's hearts by what they say and do. But sadly, that is not always the case. There is another time recorded in Luke 6:46, when Jesus challenges His listeners by saying: “Why do you call me Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?”

There are times when our words don’t reflect our hearts, when they are designed to deceive and cover our true motivations.

While we may never fully know what drives another person, we ought to consider what is in our own hearts. What is your motivation? What’s your agenda? Are you seeking to live authentically or are your words and behaviour deceptive?

Share this daily- reading.

My Thanks for Karl Faase.

One Life at a Time:

“If you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of My followers, you will surely be rewarded.” Matthew 10:42 NLT

Les Goldberg’s friends thought he was crazy when he cashed in his personal investments to buy a home to lease for the homeless. A retired engineer, Les felt it was the only decision he could make. He spends a minimum of one hour each day with his homeless friends and has helped renovate several properties on their behalf.

In all his efforts, Goldberg never regarded the homeless as irresponsible or unreliable; he only saw them as people. Hurting people! He figured the house he purchased could be used as both a temporary shelter and a drop-in centre—a place where homeless people might pick up post, make phone calls, follow up job leads, and receive donated goods.

Four homeless men live at the house, paying minimal rent to offset expenses. House rules are strict: no alcohol, no drugs, no loitering.

Goldberg has never been rich. For twenty years he ran his own business designing and installing fire sprinklers, making less than minimum wage. He simply was a man who saw an unmet need and found a way to help meet it.

Mother Teresa said: “We cannot all do great things, but we can all do small things with great love.” Jesus put it this way: “If you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of My followers, you will surely be rewarded.”

As you go through this day, keep your heart open and ask God to make you a solution to someone else’s problem. When you do, remember that no act of kindness goes unnoticed by God.

Heaven or the Dead End ?

In our Journey what is surely certain is the uncertainty of it all.

Perhaps it's logical or to many, supra-natural to find a space called Heaven.

What made it uncertain is the atheistic worldview masquerading as obvious wisdom making the expected space of Heaven a complete nonsense. Death is final. Life ends, when breath is spent-- they say.

Where is it ( Heaven ) when the universe is infinite? How could there be an afterlife when everyone dies and none return to vouch for its existence?

If it isn't true, many cry, boo, hoo.

Yet there is a quiet voice crying out into the darkness: "Jesus, is it true, come quickly, before my life is through?"

Is there nothing certain in life but endless strife, then the curtain descends, its the ignominious end?

Except there is a voice deep inside for whom I am a guide. There is One who prepares, of Him i declare today," He is the Way." Reach out to Him this day.

Encouragement:

In all of our experiences. Few things are more comforting or more exhilarating than knowing that God is the One putting together the jigsaw puzzle of your life.

Thanks for yours...
