do not forfeit your gifts
DO NOT FORFEIT YOUR GIFTS
God does not require that we forfeit our natural gifts that God has given to us in order to conform ourselves to the dictates, dogmas or decrees of other men, whether written or oral.
God has given us nature, itself, the earth, sun, moon, stars, planets, and all else appurtenant to these by which to measure and from which to infer all of the laws which reify our existence.
Those gifts include: life, emotions, consciousness, intelligence, senses, reasoning, language, intuition, love, energy, fertility, mobility, plasticity, activity, wisdom, discernment, hope, understanding, creativity, versatility adaptability, curiosity, faith and more.
These gifts were given to each and to every individual, and aggregation of same, encoded in and manifested in material forms and in spiritual ideas.
Yet, God forever reigns supreme over all things, dreams, notions, nations, axioms, theorems, religions, creeds, ideologies, laws, days, noons, nights.
Such an affirming and demonstrable paradigm of being, may potentially afford a common plane for peace, if pursued in good faith, to that end!
