Existence

“You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.” (Rev. 4:11)

Existence. Life, reality, presence, subsistence, actuality. It is not something that is merely or non as the attaching of words before or after does not change it or you.

It is who we are. The truth of the matter and all that matters in human life is that existence has always intended to mean something. It is from Someone, towards another for all. It’s the substance (not a shadow) of not only who we are but what we are.

All things that are, come from Someone (the God above) for someone and is intending to do something. It can either be willingly accepted or rejected.

The cost of ignoring this mandate and fact is heavy, as the opposite of existence is extinction. Although humanity continues to deny a Divine decree on their life, the soul refutes all counterfeits.

It all begins and ends with a Creator. With all the designing and giving there is a reasoning.

The loving, toward the objects of creation is not accidental, but meaningful and intended to pass on to another. It cannot be denied or withheld without damaging one’s own purpose and denying others of their own reality.

With the existence of humanity, the greatest battle in the world is occurring. The convincing of each receiver of the actuality of God. That life is not merely an accident, but very fulfilling. Both God and the Devil acknowledge the existence of humanity, only God has a plan that perfectly fits what He desires and all that is required.

All existence is survival. It is in the daily battling that worth is working itself out and love from above can be passed on to others below.

This is accomplished through happiness, joy as well as pain, suffering and death. It is the painful experiences that life, its stark harshness and presence brings the bleakness of mere living to purpose and understanding. Not for self, from One for another.

Existing involves more than living. It is not a “mere” or “non” as that becomes tainted and disposable. It must become your way of life.

When the source is known and the purposing and potential is slowly discovered, fulfillment is realizing and gratifying. Life is not accidental, it is intentional. It is lovingly provided from the God above for all those below. Take time now to acknowledge, accept and live forever with Him.

“This is my comfort in my affliction, For Your word has given me life.” (Psm. 119:50)

More than existing.
