GOD is the one who knows.

I could list a lot of things that God may be to people at different times in there life but I won't string out a long list here and now. I will not deny anyone their God and who he is to them. I won't claim to know if Jesus was truly God's son. I won't claim that God is not Ali or a Buddhist. I am not going to claim I know much at all.

I feel that God is all around me. I feel that things happen for a reason. I think that God knows those reasons. Evil, murder, child abuse, rape, white collar theft, temtation and on the other side, love, devotion, sacrifice, endurment, success. God knows why these things are all here. God knows why I'm here and I do not. God to me is everything that I do not know.

When I feel emotions I think of God. Most every time. I am weak when confronted by things I don't understand. When I see all the atrocities of the world I feel empty inside. When I work hard for something and It's taking away from me I hurt and I cry. I lift my head to God and I cry directly to him because he knows. He knows it all.

Why does all the bad things in the world happen? Some might say the devil, I don't. Some might claim they know why Jesus died on the cross, I don't. Some might say humans are inherently evil, I don't. Some might want to kill those that murder others, I don't. However, I've picked sides before, don't get me wrong.

I want love and good things around me in this life and I am willing to kill for it, I'm a Marine. I made that choice or did God. I think God could have stopped me from making that choice but I don't blame him. It is, however, his doing,all his doing.

Why you might say? May God strike me dead? Of course he might he always could. It's me he's molding and for what God only knows. I don't know if God could ever be confined in a human body as it seems we are? I think we are manipulated by flesh and I don't know about the soul but God does!

If I was a judge I would lock up criminals. If I was a cop I would give speeders a ticket. If I'm going 5 miles per hour over the speed limit and get a ticket, I get upset. I could go on and on like if I where a spider I would spin a web but I won't.

When life gets to heavy for me to bear, it's God's doing. I get emotional and I go to God. Why? Because he knows why that's why. He's everything he is the reason for everything. Why? Because I don't know what I am, he does. I love God because he knows that which I do not.

God is the one who knows!
