A Passion For Him.

Here, in a solitary isolation he contemplates that which lies ahead. What is wise? Should he follow blindly that which he has never seen? It seems absurd. To trust "God" whole-heartedly, when He has never shown Himself (to this generation) in a physical form. Who would place trust so blindly? The world replies, "a fool". What substance of truth is there to such a story? Is there not anything that declares who He is?

Ah, open your eyes and behold His splendor! See how all creation reflects a glimpse of His absolute and true perfection. With its every living breath it proclaims His majesty. Learn to listen. It's cannot be foolish to place trust in the Father of truth. As was told me, blessed are you excelsior Christian! Continue to develop in your faith and believe without having seen; for greater will be your reward in Heaven!

Seek God with all your heart and devote your life to Him. I pray that God will continually increase our passion to fill even the minute capacity that we have for knowledge of Him and that He would increase our capacity for it. Seek after his divine goodness, truth, and beauty.

God, guide us in our seeking of Him and give us your strength and wisdom. Enable our logic and reason to rule our desires and passions through the heart that we have submitted to You.

Eternally subsist in humble adoration of His divine, unquestionable, and righteous perfection!

O Praise Him!

Why are you downcast in the midst of trials?
Praise the Lord your God with all your heart!

When life seems to be in shambles, praise the Lord your God.
For God will use these times to develop your character.
When all seems lost and you seem to possess nothing, praise Him.
For you will spend eternity with Him.
Though the world my look down upon you, be glad.
For we suffer in the name of Christ.
When sickness comes upon you, bless his name.
For He offers you an eternal life with Him.
Do not hold dear the things of this world.
For what do you hope to gain with worldly possessions?
Do they not always pass away in time?
Instead, pray for the things of the Lord, for they will last forever.
It is not the praise of the world that we seek, it is His.
Live life with a Heavenly mindset that is focused on Him.
Show love to those who are around you by serving them
For Humility is the essence of Love.
