NOT FROM ZERO BUT FROM GOD
NOT FROM ZERO BUT FROM GOD
If you start at zero and end at zero, anything in between is mysterious.
0 + 0; 0 x 0; 0\0; 0-0 = 0
Thus, life begins with something. It does not begin as nothing, as seen.
Nothing comes from nothing but nothing. Everything comes from something, be it seen or unseen; known or unknown; felt or unfelt.
Given its physical, mental, spiritual complexity at maturity, human life, if not all "life" on earth, certainly begins with wondrous abundance.
All that life later becomes is latent within it; already in it, programmed awaiting "perfection", by detection, inspection, erection on one plane; also awaiting adduction; suction; friction, irruption, on another plane.
Maturation is marvelous, magical, mysterious. In order to mature fully, properly, humans must be loved, laved, fed, watered, worked, played with, trained, taught, tried, trusted.
These rigors, rites of passage, may take place on many levels, physical, mental, spiritual, social, environmental, practical, theoretical, educational, musical, governmental, business, professional, vocational, financial, to name a few of many exposures, experiences needed in whole/part.
We are richly blessed at birth by God with innate power that needs continuous renewal to realize its potency, to appreciate its primacy.
Each life is primally magnificent. Each is singularly unique in space, time, energy, matter, the universe.
Respect each life as divine. Begin with yourself, that you may respect other humans, as you do yourself .
You come not from zero, but God!
