No one is guaranteed anything or is entitled to anything. Today’s society doesn’t seem to realize this. You must work for what is of value to you to obtain it. One thing, however, is guaranteed.
God wanted fellowship restored with his creation so much so He gave His only begotten Son to do so. And this is the only occurrence I can say we don’t have to work for it. It was a gift. All that is required is that if you haven’t received your gift, don’t you feel you should go after it? After all, it’s free.
It has great benefits. You can talk directly with the Father, have a guide in the presence of the Holy Spirit living in you and a whole new set of principles to live by that will cause you to thrive, not just exist. You will have a purpose.
About JimR, Chaplain
I'm a 74-year-old guy, in October 2024, who worked in Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune for 28 years and now retired as of 31 Dec 16. I've worked in medical records, the Health Benefits Department, Billing, and the IT department and retired as the Personnel Security Manager for the hospital. I'm a musician and Corvette enthusiast. Yes, I have had two. I traded my second Corvette for a Harley Davidson Fat Boy in mid-summer 2019. Then in 2024, I traded to an HD FreeWheeler FLRT. I've already ridden the new one a thousand miles in 6 weeks. I'm also searching for a fresh new outlook on life with new spiritual insight among other things. I was ordained a minister in 20190202. I've become certified with the American Chaplaincy Association through Aidan University in June '21. I've found that with the unconditional love of my companion, Libby Rowe life is complete through God. She's a beautiful, vibrant, giving woman who gives her all in everything she puts her mind to do. She and I married on 24 July 2015. She was ordained in February 2022. She has a blog too called Under a Carolina Moon. Give it a visit.
