Hon...I will look forward to your words...I am sorry that you feel confused and saddened but soon you will find your way..

It is confusing for me as well because only 2 days ago you seemed estatic..

Some day, you'll tell me the story....kinda.

What do you believe God ultimately wants, please?

It is what it is...

God may well know the best way of doing things, but he never forces us. Sometimes he doesn't even tell us (I'm thinking day to day stuff) and people do make mistakes, and I think really, depends on who you're trying to help and what their situation is, there isn't a one way fits all... and I think sometimes there's more than one way anyway, and even if we did do things our own way, good can still come out of it. Even if we chose to completely ignore scripture but still did good, then God would just have to look at what he's given by that person's choices, and he'll still see good intention even if it may be misguided. I bring up the God is love thing, because I'm trying to suggest that the concience we have in ourselves is him - and we don't have to force ourselves unnaturally, we just follow our own mind and do what we think is right/most helpful at the time - because that is the good inside us, so that is God manifesting through us and what we choose to do

I mean ...imprisonment is not love.

You can't hyjack someone, force them to be subjected to you, tie them up and say you have a loving girlfriend,..It's not love.

It has to be a conscious decision to do the things that are pleasing to God because of our free will.

I think we can hear God's voice on a daily basis...some people do as they practice holiness.

True that we can't hijack someone else, like God can't choose to hijack us, but as people we can freely choose to imprison ourselves and only give a voice to a one side of human nature -, that's what I mean - we can choose to control how we are, and whether God's nature is allowed to shine through us, because we are the ones who decide how we act, even if it means going against negatives we may actually feel, because a will to do good, and care regardless is good.

I think the true spirit behind how God wants us to be, is good for the sake of good. Be good out of genuine care for someone. We shouldn't even be thinking about how God reacts or what it might mean for us in the afterlife because that corrupts any good intention. We should be prepared to do what our hearts tells us is good even if that means a hard life, even if that means hell, even if that did somehow mean making God angry, because it's only genuinely a sacrifice to help someone if we truely don't expect to gain in any way, shape or form.

Exactly because God is good and sometimes the way we feel is influenced by darker forces....not God..so we can't always rely on feelings...unless those feelings are good, happy, pure, loving.

God is love...We are created in his image...therefore we are love too...We are loving creators so anything that doesn't fit with that concept is not of God.

: therefore we can not have a close loving relationship with Love (God) until we become more like him...and we do that not through intellectualism but through humility. 

I wouldn't call any feelings 'dark' as such though... darkness to me is the not caring. People who hate or feel negative do care about something, and they can be worked with, they feel like they do because they have a motive. But it's the ones who cause all the negative feelings in others who are really to blame, I think.

We are love, but we are more than that... humans aren't pure, their nature isn't totally good. They have to choose what side to give power to through their actions. I think God represents only one side of human nature. Being created in his image I think refers to how the good side of us is able to relate to God and think like he does - ultimately it'd help us get closer to understanding him. Because humans are not pure, not every life they create is out of love.

Humility is one thing, but taking an active role in changing the world is another... I think you're right that intellectualism isn't what brings our hearts closer to him, but intelect can be used to help fight to spread the light + love for all. Enough could help win the war totally - if you could get through to satan, even the littlest bit, just imagine

Good and bad are intentions, to me. There's what you want to happen, and what you believe could happen, and what you decide to do. What decides how good a person is, is the nature of the choices they make.

This is personal joy you're talking about, I think. The sad feelings go simply because you're dwelling in happy thoughts, but that itself doesn't make us a better/worse human towards other people - I try to change the world around me, rather than myself, because I don't believe I am the biggest threat to people's happiness - I'm not the one pushing them to work harder and meet unrealistic targets, or making them feel like they're inadequete, I try to do the opposite - good in me drives me to want to change things for these people. Simply being happy in myself won't change what life is like for them, it might inspire change, and it has before when I try to radiate it, but that isn't always enough - we have to be more drastic sometimes, and even hurt the bad, because all the time we wait or don't directly intervene innocent people will suffer.

I'm thinking, an intellectual approach to human emotion - one that tries to understand why people feel like they do and tries to sort it out and make it better... I think that all could help in actually healing things, bible or no bible. It needs a gentle, psychological, understanding approach for people who don't believe the bible will solve all their problems, or who can't be commanded - because flatly telling them to believe is a command, it's authorative, and some people don't take easily to that, especially when they've rebelled against that because of how tyranical life may've been to them.

That is a good point - keeping my eyes open for opportunities and ideas and doing the best we can

I do actually try to be direct/as simple as I can, but it's hard to keep it simple, because evil is a complex thing and will always attack with more layers of wrong than you can deal with in one go. I feel like if I ignore one level it'll find a way to do injustice, or judge, and a lot of my entries are trying to deal with how it's made it's entry into human nature, I try to keep one step ahead, and I like to have words ready to deal with the people I'm going to meet. You're right that a simple approach would be best - if we could get people to care then everything else would automatically fall into place, but it's hard to do sometimes, like trying to love someone who doesn't deserve it - they'll go off anyway - I'm not always trying to win people who will listen over to good, but sometimes trying to stop the bad whether they like it or not.

I can't sort it all out, in this lifetime anyway, but I'll do what I can, and I'll use the rest of my existence to as best I can! Having a body is the ideal time to have a direct effect on the living, because I won't be able to in the same way after death. I hope exposure to all my thoughts will encourage more heavy thinking, and people will get used to it... it's not here just for the sake of it though, but everything I say tries to deal with something

You like to work on the positive side! There is plenty of work there too I think - in healing, a bit like a medic in an army helps through support, rather than taking new ground. In life we can choose our role too! Unavoidably you will probably be exposed to some negativity at some point... and then it's up to you what to do, I try to do all, because everything is an opportunity. With my past I am well exposed to negativity and the ugliness, so I'm okay with fighting it and even willingly going into hell to do so if that's what it takes, start a revolution down there!

I think it needs to be progressive - never dwelling in negativity, but working up towards a solution, like you say. I don't plan on staying in the positive when I find it, but finding another negative to repair and bring good.

I once heard/ read in an NDE account, I don't know if this is true, but that the good and bad elements of any soul can be seperated after death if that is their wish, and the good part will be pure and allowed into heaven, possibly to join with God... and the bad part to hell/earth as a new spirit. I think through life too, part of our soul can die never to come back, but not the whole of it

It would be nice to see the effects of what we try to do! - every decision at every stage But it's not enough to me unless we keep going right until we're somehow incapacitated, otherwise I can never justify resting to myself, I'd rather stay on earth even if I was offered heaven, because there's more I can do and to leave willingly would be selfish.... but we can't help dying : / Maybe though, there are realms where more work can be done

And exactly... and come to think of it, I think by focussing on good you do/are growing good in people, and that itself will overcome their darkness... I guess there is more than one way to take new ground come to think of it - I was wrong to say it was just a support role in the last comment, but supporting is a natural part of it too I guess.
