Mostly it is loss which teaches us about the worth of things! Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) Commentary: This old philosopher got it right again! Truth is truth regardless of what generation it lives in! My wife of 37 years went to the hospital for 7 days! Then she no longer slept beside me as she had for 37 years! It was like the house was empty! Because of COVID-19 I could not visit her in the hospital! I asked the Lord if you bring her back I will do whatever it takes to take care of her at home! God brought her back and now I am able to take care of her again! While she was gone to me she became more valuable! People error by looking for what they do not have! That is why they buy lottery tickets! So where did all this start? It started in heaven! Lucifer had the top job in heaven leading the praise and worship around the thrown of God! But one day he looked at God who appointed him to his position and decided this job was not good enough? I will replace God! Rebellion followed and one third of the angels who followed him were cast out of heaven down to earth! His influence and rebellion continues down here on earth! People who do not value God try to replace him with themselves! The gift of life is not respected or valued! Sadly for some only the loss of life will cause people to understand the value of life! Jesus lost his life on a Cross for you a sinner because God values your life! Then he took his life up again from the dead at the resurrection so you could be raised from the dead! Jesus second coming as his first coming is only because he values your life even above his own! True sacrifice is to value the life of others more than your own life! This is what God has done and is doing today and will be doing tomorrow for you! This is God! James & Hamsa Sasse, GodWhoisGod.com
