i like this chinu.
i have no problem at all with god's decision to give us a wonderful life on this earth.
God doesn't want any of his children to go anywhere but the place he created especially for them. You are right, god made this world as one giant playground or stage where our lives were meant to be wonderful. We were provided with all we needed to not only live our lives, but to enjoy every moment of them and to share it with others. Our internal programming tells us that this cannot be the life we were meant to live. We have an inner expectation to be happy, healthy, in peace and surrounded by those who love us. When someone we love dies, a little piece of ourselves dies with them. When our little ones are threatened we have an overwhelming need to protect them from danger, even from themselves and their inexperience as they learn and grow.
Imagine being able to live forever without aging, sickness or death and to explore with full brain capacity all that this amazing planet has to offer. Imagine being able to create our own works of art, to construct our own houses, to grow our own healthy food in unpolluted conditions and living in harmony with all the other life forms on this planet.
I believe that this was god's original purpose but that his children, both in heaven and on earth, had something to learn about the correct exercise of free will. He had to teach us that our will must be yielding, not only to him but also to one another. When someone exercises their will and it impacts negatively on the free will of others, then selfishness will dominate the world and nothing will be in harmony. Jesus said that "there is more happiness in giving than in receiving"....this is why the world is such an unhappy place...everyone wants to receive, but hardly anyone wants to give, generously from the heart. Those who have, want to keep it for themselves, those who have nothing spend their lives wishing they had even a little of what others take for granted. There is no balance and no real joy.
The apostle paul sums it up well i think....
"for if the readiness is there first, it is especially acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what a person does not have. 13 for i do not mean for it to be easy for others, but hard on you; 14 but that by means of an equalizing your surplus just now might offset their deficiency, in order that their surplus might also come to offset your deficiency, that an equalizing might take place. 15 just as it is written: the person with much did not have too much, and the person with little did not have too little. ( 2 cor 8:12-15) makes sense, doesn't it?
This lesson is for all of god's obedient children, so in the end, those who learn the lesson, will get the reward...endless life in paradise on earth....beautiful! :clap
