Lekatt Thoughtful Living

In God’s love there is room for all people. God doesn’t do credit checks, or background searches, He doesn’t exclude anyone. It doesn’t matter what you believe, or what you have done, or what you have left undone. His love embraces all. His love is unconditional.

All sacred religious writings are authored by people. Many of them attempt to define God saying: “God is like this or that,” God wants you to do this,” “God will punish you if you don’t….” But in their attempt to define God they have only succeeded in defining themselves. God is often portrayed with human attributes and failings. The God I was in the presence of during my NDE had no human attributes or failings. He was unconditional love. This is verified by thousands of other’s near death experiences.

We all live within God’s love and God’s love lives within us at all times. Together we are One with God, and He is One with us. There is never a separation between us and God’s love. Even as we wear the physical body and walk the physical plane, there is no separation, we are always connected to God’s eternal love for us, his children.

However, there are those that feel they are separated because they can’t feel God’s love within. Some think God’s love never existed, and others feel God has turned His back on them. Neither is true. God’s love for His children never waivers. His love is unconditional. What then is true? It’s that God’s love has been crowded into a tiny space of our hearts by our larger desires for fame, fortune, or power. We are so busy with physical survival that we spend little or no time practicing spiritual love. So we can no longer feel the love within because we no longer practice love without. We forgot we are created in the image of God, and therefor eternal. Many even believe they will perish when they die. It is not God that has turned His back on us, it is we that have turned our backs on God.

Knowing that many of His children are troubled God sent His Son to help us find our way back to Him and His love. So we could again feel the light of His love within.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
–John 3:16

Jesus, the son of God, brought His message of love to all that would listen, saying: “He who has ears, let him hear.” “The Kingdom of God is within you” said Jesus. He then taught His message of “love one another” in the towns, and from the hillsides. Everywhere Jesus went a crowd would follow to hear Him and learn from His teachings.

In Matthew 5:38-39, Jesus says:

“You have heard that it was said, ‘eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.”

40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.

41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Matthew 7:1: Jesus said:

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Matthew 18:21: Jesus said:

Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?

Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Luke 17:20: Jesus said:

The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

Jesus said: “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” –John 14:15

Many heard Jesus’ teachings on love, but only a few actually practiced the teachings. Few took the time to show love and compassion to their fellow man. But the few who did rediscovered the light of God’s love within. They became peaceful, calm, and unafraid. They were noticed by others, and became successful in achieving their goals. They helped others achieve abundance in life, becoming leaders and teachers on walking the spiritual path. Their lives were filled with joy and happiness.

Jesus said: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” –Matthew 6:33
