No Reflection: Are You Who You Thought You Were?

God is capable of creating such perfection and splendor and must have a great plan and a purpose for us. Well, he does; he wants to reveal that purpose to us and to show us the way out of the pain, the sorrow we have brought on ourselves (self-inflicted wounds) from rejecting his ways. Perception is what determines how we believe; if our perception is wrong, we believe in error because perception is not always reality. Love is the cause that effectively affects people, but sometimes, we go in circles because we can't see the path. And sometimes, it's just because we believe we are smarter than the average bear, and we tell ourselves it is what it is, but this stems from self-inflicted wounds that are often initiated by dictated living, things you didn't see because you were too busy looking. In some cases, vanity might be the reason greed did not reveal the deception that was at work because we might have been in a state of "Hurry up and wait." Selfishness is the syndrome that misleads or deceives most often. If we learn to trust in God's plan, we learn to live a life of integrity and develop a giving spirit; we learn to forgive as we learn to be servants. In the end, we learn that love is life's only true satisfaction.
