Whatever is at the center of our life will be the source of our security, guidance, wisdom, and power. ~ Stephen Covey ~*GOD* SHOULD be that center! IF *GOD* IS that center, then, you KNOW security, guidance, Wisdom, knowledge, and, power, indeed! IF you rely on, the elemental authorities, of the world, as the center, you will seek, but, never, TRULY find, what it is you seek, as, even all the wealth in the world, eventually, leaves you seeking something more!!!
*GOD* IS CREATION manifest, and, so, IS the center of the Universe, and, all in existence! HE IS, WAS, and, EVERMORE shall be; NOTHING else can be, without HIM!!!
The same is true of religion; *GOD* IS the center of religion, because HE IS our religion; no mortar, and, brick establishment can take the place of HIM as THE CHURCH; instead, the mortar, and, brick establishments, are the GATHERING of THE COMM'UNITY' of *GOD*/CHRIST, worshipping THE CHURCH! *GOD* lives within each being, thus, the body IS a temple of *GOD*, and, IS where individual worship begins! IF *GOD* is the center of religion, then, religion begins within, not, without, though, sometimes starting at the without, leads to deeper commitment, within!!!
*GOD* IS the centered focus of my life! HE always has been, but, for a while, I got lost in the tinsel of the world, though, HE was always nearby, and, was working in me, and, through me, as I battled the evils of this world! Oh, the lessons HE led me through, and, taught me! I would NEVER exchange what HE has shown me, through LOTS of discomfort, suffering, anguish, pain, and, other such, for ANY thing, because HE IS ALL THERE IS, and, the knowledge, as well as acceptance of this fact, opens up to a whole new way of living! Thank YOU LORD, for the journey this far, it has been soul awakening, for sure!!!
We could never hope to repay *GOD* for HIS incorruptible, unfaltering LOVE, of us, yet, we CAN HONOUR HIM, by becoming the reflection of HIM, and, making HIM the center of our life, is how this begins, and, flourishes, in which case, one WILL see, that, HE IS THE SOURCE of ALL SECURITY, and, ALL we need to navigate this, temporal journey, but, mostly, WITH HIM, as the focus of our lives, navigating back TO HIM, is optimized, in every imagineable way!!!
ALL GLORY BE UNTO *GOD*, whom, IS, ALL, and, EVERYTHING! PRAISE HIM, ALL in CREATION, both, day, and, night, and, EXALT HIS name, forever, and, more!!! AMEN!!!
