The believer seems to know god better than he knows himself

RE: The believer seems to know god better than he knows himself
There a tremendous disparity between principles shown to us in this world. Good and evil have been on display to us for our whole life, and we are left wondering if we even have to choose at all. We all know about choices and most will realize the benefit or cost for those choices. This is not the guilt and punishment game you have seen before. It is about the results of choices that you make that cause you and others hurt. It is easy to discard good ideas if they have threats or garbage associated with them. The reward I am sharing has been displaced by the feelings of abandonment, fear, anger, etc. that naturally occur when you feel you have been cheated. Let me explain why bad things happen in this world. God intended for the world to be swept away with evil, but only to prove a point. He has allowed for us to fall away with guilt and shame so that we could realize that He loves us in spite of those things. It's easy to love people when they are loving, but really difficult to do so when they are mean. We could not appreciate the love God has for us unless we first fell deeply away. Love has no depth if it only given to the good. We will value this more the further away that we have fallen. All of you are part of a family that is struggling to be reunited. Love is the reward that you will receive if you realize that God is not your enemy. It is impossible to accept good things into your heart if you have anger towards the one who wants to care for you. Love is the reward, the miracle, the peace that we should all know can comfort us and give us value. We have all experienced the penalties of our anger. Who is comfortable with desperation, fear, worry, regret, etc. The list of harmful effects is endless. Who doesn't want good friendships, kind words, peace with family and friends. The arguments against God exist because of lies that you have been told. Spiritual garbage is everywhere.. Men want you to follow all manner of ritual or obedience. This is trash. They will throw verses at you to condemn the way that you think and then shun you if you don't conform. Love is the reward even though you have done what you know is wrong. This applies to me too. I am not the good guy I wish I was. The proof that you want is the gift of a heart that you could not believe that is possible. Other more far reaching changes will happen for your good that you will confirm as real once you can accept an invitation of love. You can remain as you are, or you can accept the challenge. You will get the answers that you want, and they will be shown to you clearly.
