What do we need?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Word of God is the life for my believers. It is through the Bible that they will know the relevance of My words to their lives if only they will read and meditate on it truthfully not haphazardly. Let it eat through your soul, let it nourish you, that is the meaning of "I am the bread of life."

When you make my words the nourishment that your soul needs, your life will be much simpler, more joyful. See, if you nourish your soul with my teachings, you become detached to the material world. You see it as a passing fancy, you don't put much value on it so you don't stress yourself in working to have it.

Material things, ambitions and possessions are devious schemes of the evil one to mislead my children. Attachment to the material world makes it difficult for someone to follow My teaching of simplicity and sharing. They want to possess all of the material trappings of the world to be able to boast that he had succeeded, he had achieved his ambitions and goals and is at par with the glorified ones on earth, the who's who list in business, the wealthiest in the world.

That is the ultimate goal of man to belong to the "glorified" and popular people. To be look up to, to become successful and possess all the signs and symbols of having reached the top. Good, if they didn't leave a trail of broken hearts, broken dreams when they stepped over someone to have their own goal of success. Good thing if they remembered to thank ME, the provider of what they have.

Yes, I provided for them even if they were evil in their ways. I was walking beside them silently mournful that this child of mine is lost in his world of success, earthly that is. I was hoping they would come to recognize Me and acknowledge Me through each success they made. Sadly, they didn't and with each success came heady sensation of being strong and powerful not needing anyone, not even Me. But I am always with my children just in case suddenly they need Me.

And it always happen, but only when they are in the brink of death or in the brink of bankruptcy then, they remember to call on Me. As always, My hand is ready to pick them up, happy at last to be remembered and be of service. Alas! some die without even remembering me, to the end proud of their own achievement, needing nobody including Me to pass over to the next life.

Where will they go? To a place where there is no God, hell is a place without My presence. It may not be the hell that is pictured in your visions but a lonely, desolate place, only you and your ambitions - the echo of your lies will follow you everywhere with no one in sight. That will be your personal hell, you alone forever in your pain, in your loneliness. You want to weep, but you can't cry, the torment and desolation will eat through your bones, convulse your body with sobs of pure grief without the release of tears.

Poor soul to the end of his earthly life, he needed no one not even Me, so his wish is granted.
