FINDING ANSWERS TO LIFE'S QUESTIONS
FINDING ANSWERS TO LIFE'S QUESTIONS
I have been a CATHOLIC-and
A CHRISTIAN all of my life
Baptized as a baby-2-1/2 weeks
After I was born
I have been INVOLVED with other
Christian churches since 2002-WHEN-
I moved to Miami
Specifically Protestant and Baptist
Churches-I SUPPORT all Christian
Churches-and all churches/all religions
Founded in God and/or Christ
And specifically LOVE
I have found ALL of the answers
To life's questions in God-
And in MY PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP
With Christ
I am ACTIVE in my faith
I am PROUD of my faith
Am proud of who I am-and-
What I have become
The ANSWERS to my life and
My justice can only be
FOUND IN GOD
“I announced your justice
In the vast assembly
I did not restrain my lips
As you-O Lord-KNOW” Psalm 40:10
I want to be a CONNECTOR
A UNIFIER among the faiths
I have NOT found any justice-
In this world-ONLY in God
I will NEVER denounce the faith
Of who I am-and what makes me WHOLE
I am proud to STAND UP
For God and JUSTICE
In this unjust world
“The Lord is KNOWN
By his acts of justice
The wicked are ensnared
By the work of their hands” Psalm 9:16
“When JUSTICE is done-
It brings joy to the righteous
But terror to evildoers” Proverbs 21:15
“Yet the Lord LONGS to be gracious
To you
Therefore he will RISE UP
To show you COMPASSION
For the Lord is
A God of JUSTICE
BLESSED are all
Who wait for him” Isaiah 30:18
I FIND my answers
To life's questions-to the injustices
That life SOMETIMES treat us with
In the justice and the UNITY
Of God
I find my ANSWERS in God-and-
I have found beautiful people
IN EVERY FAITH that I have
Interacted with
I think many of us exacerbate
Our PROBLEMS in life
Because we are looking for the answers
To life=in worldly things
WHEN the answers ARE IN
the spiritual things of our life
And in our FAITH IN GOD
Our personal relationship
With God-regardless-of
What faith we are
The BATTLE is NO LONGER
Between the different denominations
Of faith
But in the GODLY-and those-
LIVING IN THE SPIRIT-and those-
Living in the world
Let us BUILD ONE UNIFIED WORLD-
Under God
In Jesus' name-amen
OUR GOD-OUR LORD-OUR JESUS-
Has ALL the ANSWERS in life
