Fruits of Alienation

If we are honest and truthful with ourselves and our hearts we would all admit we have all experienced alianation to a degree. Alienation can be painful for a season. Alienation can be socially defined,but I feel religious ideals of love can make religious alienation feel extremely harsh and cold:because people orchestrate religion and never give the ideal to a curious "seeker". In this instance you may feel rejected by peers and even shunned by God. In some of these systems that are Phairasaical many would prefer it if certain outsiders were very aware of just how difficult is to really be forgiven. This can be a heavy weight placed upon you knowing your brother in a religious setting has let you down,and that hurts. You then may feel that the God of the universe doesnt really want to give you His goodness. One might intuit this due to interaction in religious circles;and the feelings of alienation are intensified. But, you must still search if you are hungry enough in your spirit to find a truth you so greatly need. You can begin to wonder just who is the God who transcends all earthly constructs. When you know who God truly is anyone can make allowances for the failings of others while embracing God as Abba Father. As I have reached the age of 33 I see alienation that leads to interpersonal growth to be beautiful as your faith that is just like pure gold is fashioned and refined. I have been cut off by society totally at times it seemed,but it only drew me to Jesus and a new birth that far outshines the pain of alienation. Jesus said "Blessed are the poor in spirit because the kingdom of heaven is theirs"(Mt5:4) Now I know the pain of alienation does not impede spiritual progress or wholeness despite the injustices of alienation most have experienced whether it be the Jews of the holcaust,or the Palestinian struggle to claim land for survival. Maybe its not accepting my worth for a time,or the life of the Kurds who have said"We have no friends but the mountains". It could be the loss of a young adolescent love that may send someone into the terrain of alienation.
In some ways I have asked the outside world for alienation bacause I have found the purposed glory to be unsatisfactory.Eventhough I might have been alienated at one time and the path may have been askew all these years that may have been wondered about;but it brings the eternal inside,the kingdom, comfort,and a supernatural filling. You will welcome alienation if you are fed up with the answers of life that have been passed down as norms to embrace. Because losing your life in this system only to find Jesus Christ makes any form of alienation appealing.

Dive

Imagine if all else failed and your dragging feet halt and stammer as you try to continue holding on to the safety so tight. You find yourself with the very tips of your toes curled around the edge of a cliff and a rushing waterfall splashing far below upon jagged rocks. Its a steep precipice but one jump away from all God has in store for your life. Look, a rainbow in the eastern blue sky is set as a promise. So leap out into this great wide open with your arms free and boldly extend outward from your body to embrace the limitless purpose God has intended for those who take the plunge. Will you dive into the life of God in Christ Jesus?

The Evolution of Mankind

I in no way believe all of life in the created order with its brilliant complexity is a result of a chance evolutionary beginning.(Diversity of Life80) God spoke and creation came into being;but an evolution of man has come as a variant strand in the resurrected body through the bloood and regeneration of Jesus Christ renewing all creation. In the book of Romans it is said that we are a new creation in Christ. Yes, there has been some divine mutation and a supernatural breakthrough of God intervening in the laws of nature.
