However, it turned out that living is always about yourself. It's not in our nature to help and love others. And those nights in New York and elsewhere else were always about pleasing ourselves. Nothing much was ever said about dying children, wars, global warming, species extinction, and deforestation or anything else. I was confused. Didn't anyone care about sustainability, poverty, diseases and so forth?
And that is why I am here in this church. I have met my crossroads again. I break down and cry. God, are you real? Do you care? In the chaos of a darkening world, He pours forth love, hope, peace and joy. I can literally feel the years of abuse washing away as I sit in his presence. And than He shows me how much He still loves and cares for people. And how He cries when children are sexually abused and when children are killed. How he shouts out in anger when a woman is raped and how he hates how billions of dollars pour into pornography while millions starve. However, judgment is His, he whispers in my ear as he holds me in His arms. He shows me how freedom comes from a choice and people can choose to see what their actions reap. He can't interfere with that, because people have to choose to love him. He hates how evolution is a system of justification, but he still loves the people who are in it and believe in it. They have the choice to live in reality or in disillusion. So He tells me how the church is called to bring reconciliation between man and God, the environment, society and himself. And how it is doing that, it needs more young people to rise up and stand up for justice. To be ambassador's for Christ, in a world that is controlled by a dark spirit. A dark spirit that wants to bring war, sexual abuse, disunity in the church, species destruction, hatred, murders, global warming and deforestation.
So he says, we can't worry about these things. We live by faith and not by sight. For we live in an eternal kingdom that is built upon joy, peace, righteousness and the Holy Sprit. So it is our duties to be servants of grace and to show how to love our neighbors as ourselves.

I find writing to be so opposite to whom I am. I did miserably at English as any of my proof readers or profs could tell you. My thoughts of sitting in one place for periods of time do not give me chills of excitement. However, I have found great satisfaction in allowing my thoughts to be found in the release of writing. I have been able to share some of my deeper emotions through my poems and this has been a wonderful creative process for me! Thanks to TIG for the opportunity.

there is no great love than this that in spte of our sins he still pen wide his arms of love to us ......
the greastest thing that touch God is neglect ...
neglect of his voice calling in the street for us to coome
neglect to his saving grace , He has finished and paid for all our penalities only to see man deny his effort ..
and he is not able to do any further than to weep when he sees men dies out of their ignorance....
My people perish for lack of Knowledge
Many are still waiting ....
Ps 82 say they are gods but they will die as mere men ...

enternity is real . (contd....) Okorocha Michael | Sep 16th, 2003
A man that is on honour that knows not is like a beast that perishes ...
It is Honour that Jesus will die for us
it is honour that He wakes us up morning by morning
it is Honour that that He lets you see the beauty of hos creature that you can comments ( being able to speak)
Yet many will say nothing about enternity
the world we see started from enternity past and will end but the one The BIG MAN behind the Big creation remains ....
and that is Who determmines what happens in the eternity future ....
that is why he can't be questioned......
EVERYTHING WILL PAST (including aour life on this earth)BUT HE WILL REMAIN ....
HE IS THE ANCIENT OF DAYS
