But don’t forget, this life is only a refinery. A lifelong process meant to prepare us for eternity.
I am a soldier, and this life is my boot camp, preparing me for heaven. I’d like to share my perception of life, of pain, of God, and the importance of seeking real truth instead of believing a lie just to protect ourselves from pain. I am the one God expects to grow in the right direction. When I suffer, it’s because the experience was prescribed to me to produce a particular result. I am only a victim of my own bad decisions and impure thoughts. From the furnaces of affliction, distress, and humility, I will develop. I will be refined of the impurities in my soul. Emotionally, spiritually, and internally, I will mature and grow in compassion, empathy, willpower, self-discipline, love, faith, hope, and more.
Jesus Christ is real. Always and forever. Even until my last breath, I will never forget what Jesus has done for me. Because He has chosen me, because He has allowed me to feel His true presence, I won’t let Him down. Or at least, I’ll do my best not to.
God is real. Santa Claus is false. There will be times that seem impossible to survive. People you love will die. Sickness will take those you think didn’t deserve it. But don’t forget, this life is only a refinery. A lifelong process meant to prepare us for eternity.
Don’t give up. Don’t lose hope. It’s all an illusion, a path for God to understand how to eliminate the evil that controls our hearts and to bring us to Him by our own choosing. God bless you. I love you. Don’t forget, God loves us more than we will ever truly comprehend.
