If you have read any of my other pamphlets, you may have noticed I always end with God Has Blessed You

    Now, this is a statement I really believe in. We sometimes tend to forget all the blessings that God has already given us. You see, all of the abilities that we have, are blessings from God. Our free will is one of the greatest blessings from God because with our free will we can choose to accept and then use what God has given us.

     Now, because we are human beings, we have a tendency to sometimes be a little lazy! I know, because I sometimes have to work very hard on this problem. There was a point in my life when I would let this problem really get to me. For example, I use to pray a lot for patience! Now this was something that I really needed more of. And I'm sure everyone feels that way too. But, you see, I would pray and ask for more patience, then I would sit back and do nothing! I would just wait for God to deliver me more patience. I literally wanted God to force patience upon me! So I would just sit, wait and do nothing! Of course, I would just wait and wait and guess what? Nothing would happen! The more I would wait, the more impatience I would get and that would just lead to even more problems!

     But, now I have realized that God has given us everything we need to get through this world! And with our free will, which God has given us, we can choose or not to choose what God has already given us! Now, this takes a little bit of effort, and with some things it takes a lot of effort! Now, the good news is, that once you choose to use what God has given you, the more you use it, the better you will get at it! So, you see, when it came to my patience, I use to be very lazy. And I just wanted God to force it on me because that would be a lot easier. But because God already gave me patience and some other reasons, which I'll try to explain later, would not force patience upon me.

     So, really, all I had to do was choose to use the patience that God already has given me and to work with my patience and to practice my patience. The old saying, practice makes perfect, has a lot of meaning. Of course, we are humans, so we will never be perfect in this world, but practicing what God has given us, is the only way we'll ever be good at it!

     Now, sometimes we'll use something that God has given us and through little work of our own, everything will just come together so grand that we will get the greatest feeling in the world, from this! Because sometimes this happens, we think, God just sent us a blessing so powerful that he forced us to have it! And because we are humans, we just want more and more of that! You see, we are sometimes more like spoil children, who just want their Father to do it all for them! Now, like all good fathers, there has to come to a point in their children's lives, when he knows he has to let them choose which road they are going to follow, even if it means the possibility they could get lost! The best he can do is to give all his children, all the tools they need to navigate through this world!

     You see, God only forced very few things on us, that's what we do by instinct. You see, by instinct, our heart beats and our lungs breathe. Of course, our free will is so strong, that we can actually stop ourselves from breathing, but, of course, our instinct is also very strong, so we usually start breathing very quickly again. God gave us very few instincts because He love us so much that He gave us a free will instead! That is what separates us from animals! Animals do almost everything from instinct!

     I use to think, what a wonderful world this would be, if God would only make all of us, to always do the right things! If only he would force all the bad people to be good, what a wonderful world this would be! Will, we better stop and think about what we are wishing for. If this were to come true, there would no longer be any humans on this world! We would all become animals, for without our free will, we would simply become animals! We would no longer think we were humans, as a matter of fact, we would no longer think! We would just live by instinct!

     So, in order to get rid of all the things we hate, in this world, He would also have to get rid of all the things we love about this world!

     God is so much more intelligent than us, that we have a hard time understanding this. Just like very young children have a hard time understanding why their parents won't always do everything the children want them to do! We are sometimes like that, just because we don't understand!

      God Has Blessed You with so many gifts and abilities and all you have to do is to choose to use them. Practice, practice and practice them some more! Practice makes perfect! This world could almost be perfect, if everyone would practice this! Of course, no one has ever said, this world will ever be easy to get through, but with a little help from God's Blessings, we can get through this world and be ready for the next!
