What if God appeared and promises everything that happens to you from this moment forward will be of the greatest benefit to you and will bring you the utmost good fortune. Even though what happens will sometimes appear unfortunate or hurtful, in the end, your life will be wonderfully blessed and hugely benefited by whatever happens.

-from the book Zen And the Art of Happiness by Chris Prentiss

Starrlight,

The words of the wise are like oxgoads, and their collected sayings are like firmly embedded nails; they have been given from one Shepherd.

As for anything besides these, my son, be warned: To the making of many books there is no end, and much devotion to them is wearisome to the flesh.

(Ecclesiates 12: 11 -12)

Agape :)

Hello :-)

What a lovely thought :-) x

On top of God's appearance I'd take the opportunity and ask God to grant me some wishes..

You never know...

This is already happening to me. I grew up Catholic and very religious and then I went through some really bad times and sought out God more. Over time I lost my religion somewhere between the depression and anxiety and the mass amounts of bad fortune. Then suddenly the sunshine came out and my life became amazing for only a short few years... I had it all and was so happy. Then another stroke of bad luck hit me and every decision since then ( 2 years now) has been like living in hell. I'm sitting here waiting to find out when I'll finally catch my break. Between my questionable health and bad living conditions... I want to know when it will all be okay. Can you imagine having everything you ever wanted in life, and then someone else comes along and pulls the rug from under you and then the next thing you know, you are completely broke and living in a trailer all alone because u have tried to do everything in your power to save yourself and your pets... Then you lose your job from the covid and now you have no money at all and every day you cry wondering how did this happen to you? Because one person made a decision that you couldn't control. Where is God now?

Not what you're looking for?
