Strange Things

I read and see things by atheists on why the universe is so strange, or this part of life oddly fits with something else. Did they ever stop to think because you close off part of the whole world's being, you limit yourself as to what is strange and weird in the universe. What I mean by the "whole world's being" is since the dawn of man, we have looked to the stars, the home of our gods. We have always had gods and it wasn't until recently (In terms of man being around.) that the idea of there not being at least one god came into popular light.

I personally believe Jesus Christ is our only salvation from a world of sin. He alone closed the gap between us and God so His creation would be able to be companions with him. I believe we are meant to be companions with God, but because of the sin that WE let loose into the world, we were sentenced to death. Jesus was your ransom paid.

With that said, atheists think this was all random chance and to be what we are now, we just got lucky. I am sure many people will argue that, and since it does not seem logical to me, it is very possible I am mistaken. But by the term, they do not believe in a God of any sort. To think things are weird is simply a misunderstanding or in awe of it. Odd usually is beyond normal understanding.

For me, it seems entirely illogical to think we evolved into something from something. Now, mathematically speaking, evolution does not equal out. The sum is way more than the parts. And physics say that energy wants to be in the most simplest form, if that were the case why does it work so hard to be matter and make up all that we are and see?

I know there are all sorts of things supposedly breaking down religion and proving God doesn't exist. Fact is it always will. Religion was made by men for men to understand God. God wants a relationship. Religion is man's attempt at creating one. But science cannot rule out the fact there is a God and it cannot prove it either. To me, the workings of the universe all the way down to the particles, are visible and invisible evidence of a being so much more than us. I call that being God and I have seen him work in my life as well as in the life of others, so I will praise him and love him till I die and meet him.

Science, to me is understanding the methods that God used to create the universe. In what I have read, science can't explain why gravity works. I say it's because God wants it to. To me, what seems weird in the universe is just something God hasn't given us the knowledge to understand yet. I believe we will understand much of what makes the universe work, but not all. And I hold out hope that God will let me in on some of his amazing works and methods he used when I get to heaven. I cannot wait.

I respect your decision to be atheist, if any ever read this, I do not want it sounding like I am hating on you. I am sure you are a wonderful person as well. But maybe things that seem weird might get more meaning if there was a God.

From the earliest memory, I cannot remember a time I did not believe in God. He has always been a part of my life, as I want to be part of his kingdom. But I do know people and I am friends with people, that do not believe, nor want to believe in anything higher than us. (Except for aliens. They always believe in them.) I love these people just as much as my friends I go to church with. I plan on using science, that they might know, as a tool to show them how God works.

This universe is a huge, immeasurably big place. It is filled with stuff I believe mankind will never know. It works so well together, from the tiniest bit of matter, to a whole realm of dark matter and energy that we cannot see, nor have physical evidence that it exist, just the lack of evidence of something we can see working. to stuff we can't see, All the way to the super-massive black holes that cause galaxies to form and sets everything spinning. To think that something so wonderful, so amazing, so incredible was all by chance seems kind of  crazy to me. Sure, it could happen I suppose. But wouldn't life mean so much more if it was because God wanted it to? To me it does.

To This Day

Words scar us for life but they also have so much power to build and create. I have often, perhaps because I think of myself as a writer, thought about the power of words. In the Bible it says God spoke the universe into being. That was some word. Words contain all the power of our thoughts focused into one point.

Look at it this way, as a martial artist, we learn how to punch. Most people punch, spreading out the impact across their whole hand, but in Karate, we learned to focus the impact on the first two knuckles which are backed the most by the rest of the arm. It hurts more. Then we can take that and focus it onto one knuckle. The full strength of the punch focused to a point less than an inch. It is enough to make the muscles spasm and not work. I broke a board with it. It was strong.

Words can do that too. Words spoken with anger or hate behind them can cause so much damage that will cause the person to spasm and stop working. They can, and often do, break like that board. It tears them in two and causes splinters to fly. Splinters of their very being.

I hate to admit this, but I have been guilty of breaking a person like this. It is my biggest regret in my recent memory. This person did not deserve this, and they were and are a very nice person. But I used the power I knew I had to break them because I was mad. I used my words, and threw them at the weakest part of this person and watched them crumble. I knew what would hurt them and used it. I will deny this if you ask me, but it made me cry by how horrible I was.

When I calmed down, I went to them and asked for forgiveness. This person did, and we later became better friends. I tried my best from that day on to only build with my words. I am still working on it. Have you ever built something amazing with your words?

Let me tell you about my dearest friend Ashley. She is everything to me. She can make me smile no matter how I feel. To her, I am the "greatest friend eva." And I am too. I am willing to listen to her when she needs it, and lend gentle words to strengthen that which is already there in her. I use words with love and slowly build her up. I do it because I love her. I do it because I can. I do it because God has given me the ability to do so. And after all, isn't doing what God wants number one in everything?

God made me exactly the way he wanted me. He gave me the proper influences in life at the right time to mold me into who I am.  Psalm 139:13 says: "For you created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb." So He knew exactly what he wanted me to be when I was conceived. It would be irresponsible to not use the gifts he has given me.So I will do my best to build people up, build the world up with words.I will do my best to heal this damaged world. I will do it all with God. It is God who is th eonly one able to do this anyways. I will just open myself up to him, to allow him to work through me.

I want to make an offer to whoever reads this. If you ever need to talk, ever need prayers, advice, or just a word of encouragement, email me. I am reaching out to everyone of you because I love you. I might not know you yet, but that is easily fixed. I will reply as soon as possible always. Just put into the subject box, "The Dreamer's Door" and I will know it is not spam. I hope you take advantage of this offer. Send it to KillianRedXII@hotmail.com

So while you go out and do your thing this week, think twice about your words. Please do not use them to bully, put down, or abuse anyone. Use them to build up a place you would like your kids to live. Build up so much love that the world will be changed. Use the words you have to change things. Use them to glorify God; To praise him and share him with others. Words are amazing and I am blessed to know them.


This post was inspired by the video below. It is about bullying, but it is about more as well. I have a hard time explaining what I get from this. So just take a moment to watch it. Maybe even share it as well.
