Buddha remained silent

 

A few weeks ago, in my lunch break I asked some of my Buddhist Vietnamese coworkers the following question: In Buddhism belief how did man originated? Is man created as in the Christian belief of Adam and Eve or is man the by product of primordial soup as in the theory of evolution?

Such thoughts never cross their minds and they did not know what to answer! Therefore, one of my coworker, who is more faithful and active in Buddhism, called the Buddhist nun at the Temple and have her answer the question. I appreciated this and as far as I could tell the nun seemed very kind and did her best going around the question without giving an answer.

Now, I myself studied Buddhism and I am very familiar with this belief to some certain extend in understanding the basic of it. This simple belief is overwhelming and complicated when you go deep into it, so I don’t claim to be an expert.

However, my question to my coworkers and to the Buddhist nun was very easy – as the famous statement goes by Rene Descartes, “I think, therefore I am.”

So, where these thinking men such as us humans originated from?

I know that from a Buddhism belief this question is hard to answer because Buddha himself refuse to answer such questions – which are known as the unfathomable questions. The Pali texts gives 10 of those questions and the Sanskrit texts 14 questions.

These 14 questions are categorized in four groups and is concerning the existence of the world/universe in time, the existence of the world/universe in space, personal identity, and life after death.

Furthermore, the Sabbasava Sutta also mentions another 16 questions which are seen as unwise reflection by Buddha.

And these questions are:

What am I?

How am I?

Am I?

Am I not?

Did I exist in the past?

Did I not exist in the past?

What was I in the past?

How was I in the past?

Having been what, did I become what in the past?

Shall I exist in the future?

Shall I not exist in the future?

What should I be in the future?

How should I be in the future?

Having been what, shall I become what in future?

Where came this person?

Where would he go?

 

Okay, so if you are a curios person like me and are not pleased with Buddha’s attitude towards these questions which he finds unwise to answer, I would like to share with you the answers to those questions from a Christian faith according to the Bible.

The first book of the Bible is called Genesis which means the origin or formation of something. And the first sentence in the Bible makes the statement: “In the beginning God…”

The book of Genesis narrates the primeval history of the world in chapters 1 to 11, so with this in mind lets take into consideration the entire Bible and answer those questions.

1.     What am I? You are the image of God (Genesis 1:27) So God created man in his own image – In the image of God he created him male and female he created them.

     How am I? You are dead (Genesis 3:1-5) Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden?’ And the woman said to the serpent, ‘We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” But the serpent said to the woman, ‘You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you would be like God knowing good and evil.” In addition you can also read Ephesians 2:1 and Colossians 2:13. You are dead in transgressions and sins; as Ravi Zacharias once said “Jesus did not came into the world to make bad people good. He came to make dead people live.” According to the Bible “there is none good but God”

Am I? Yes, you are! Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20   

That price is case you didn’t know is the blood of Jesus. According to life science humans can’t live without blood. Without blood, the body’s organs couldn’t get the oxygen and nutrients they need to survive, we couldn’t keep warm or cool off, fight infections, or get rid of our own waste products. Without enough blood, we’d weaken and die.

I would like to invite you to meditate on the word of God that says: "For since the beginning of the world God’s invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." Romans 1:20

My friends on the day of judgement when you have to present yourself before God you will have no excuse! Because he speaks to us through the elements and principles of our world.  Without blood you cannot get rid of your waste products, without blood you die - this is life science 101. Without the blood of Jesus you cannot get rid of the sins in your life, without the blood of Jesus you die – this is the gospel! For the life of all flesh is its blood and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins, for God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Jesus is the Savior who will justify many and bear their sins – in our world blood transfusion is done in a way of saving a life that’s injured or ill; and sinners are saved by is the precious blood of Jesus. Are you a sinner? 

 Did I exist in the past? No! Each one of us is a unique creation of God and the human soul begins at conception. “The Lord God formed man from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. Genesis 2:7

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. Psalm 139:13-16

By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.” Genesis 3:19

Shall I exist in the future? Yes! “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it would be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear. Matthew 13:40-43

 

Jesus said “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both the soul and the body in hell. Are not to sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So, don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will also disown before my Father in heaven. Matthew 10: 28-33

 

So the question is where do you choose to exist in the future? Heaven or Hell? For God said: “This day I call the heavens and the earth as witness against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life! Deuteronomy 30:19

 God’s advice for you is to choose life! To choose Jesus as your Lord and Savior.

 What should I be in the future? What we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in Him purify themselves, just as he is pure. 1 John 3:3

Where came this person? From the mind of God! Then God said: “Let us make mankind in our own image, in our likeness.” Genesis 1:26 And the first men that He created from the dust of the ground was Adam and Eve as I previously made mention before.

Where would he go? The choice is yours – either Heaven or Hell…

God has put enough into the world to make faith in Him a most reasonable thing. But He has left enough out to make it impossible to live by sheer reason or observation alone. Ravi Zacharias.

 The unanswered questions

Dream December 10th 2020

 It started on the street with a race.

In front of me were a few small children, between 8 and 12 years old. 

The ground we were on was bright, and visible on it were stones the size and color of a river rock - a deep blue.    

The children threw those stones and keep running, they were serious and determined to run and win the race.

When I realized that I was on a race track,  I started running and pick up one of those stones and threw it away, so that I do not stumble. 

Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me. 

Jesus Christ (Matthew 11:6) 

I was told that if I got lost to stay in my position and someone will come and meet me there. I was encouraged to run as fast as I could and that I would succeed. 

Apart from the children at the start of the race, I did not see any adults participating in this race that I was on. 

The only adults I could see running up the stairs in a deserted building was a couple having sex. 

I arrived at a big train station, it reminded me of the Mitte District in Berlin/ Germany. There were many attractions and many things could be done while waiting for the train. 

Here I was in the company of my husband and childhood friends from Romania; we were all waiting in front of a restaurant and we decided to go in and break bread together. 

After that, I went for a walk and passed by a grocery store that was abundant in supply but through the window I could see that the olive oil was missing. So I went inside and looked for it, I found it and brought it to the front area for people to see it next to the spaghetti pasta. 

 Olive oil is one of the major Christian symbol besides 

water  & wine  

I was asking one of my friends, "why do you change your clothes so often?"  Personally, I only do this about 2 or 3 times a day and than I shared with her that I no longer eat as much as I used to. She replied that it makes her feel good every time she puts on a new dress and that she doesn't eats as much either.

 

The evening came and the train arrived, we started running towards it surrounded by a multitude of people. I remember my husband holding my hand and pushing us forward and we advanced through the crowd and got on the train.  

I was trying and hoping to take a look at my friends' faces and see them, but many of them were pushed back by the crowd. I was wondering why my friend's husband doesn't hold her hand like my husband does so that they don't get separated. 

My friend barely made it to the train and her husband was left behind. This train was huge and had several flights of stairs before reaching the top. I took a sit on the stairs and from above I noticed all of the people pushing each other to get on the train but without succeeding. 

Some of my friends who were in the crowd on the train platform, start running away from those people and with joy on their faces shouted : "I will see you at the next stop!" 

All over sudden for a short moment I saw my sister inside the train next to me, I was so surprised by this that I asked her: "what are you doing here - how did you made it here?" And then a yellow spider climbs up on her leg coming towards me and I began to scream and told her to smash it.  

Later I saw that my friend placed a basket on the floor in which her baby was kept and a stranger placed her bag on the floor next to the child. 

As the people on the train began to sit on the stairs looking at the crowd outside, I looked inside the train and saw a small number of people. The train was not at full capacity, most people on the board were on the stairs and the train left leaving many behind. 

As the train took off, I was overjoyed and shouted that I was finally feeling European. I felt like I was going home in a far-off land. 

~ Europe in ancient Greek language means wide face or wide gazing ~ 

Tell of His Wonderful Works

Oh give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples. 

Psalm 105:1

“At this moment it seems as though science will never be able to raise the curtain on the mystery of creation. For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.”
― Robert Jastrow, God and the Astronomers

My Testimony

“I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 

Hebrews 13:5

I love this verse, and is deeply rooted in my heart. On account of from an early age I felt forsaken by my family, especially my father who decided after the emerge out of communism in Romania to work abroad to better our family welfare. This causing distress to my mother and severe depression, she was admitted in the Psychiatric Hospital in much of my childhood and the treatments lasted from several days to several weeks or months per year.

I am the youngest of my siblings, and I was conceived by my parents unexpectedly in fact, if my mother had not accept the Christian baptism a year before my birth she would actually had me aborted; but because she had confessed Jesus as Lord and Saviour in her life, she did not go through with this abomination in blight me in her womb. While still not even have the  strength to protect my right to life, Jesus protected me and loved me.

***

For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; 

Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.…My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; 

And in Your book were all written The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them!…Psalm 139:13-17

***

I do not know what God has fashioned for me in my life while still in the womb of my mother but I always felt His love and I had a desire to know Him. Especially being raised without a father in much of my childhood, I wanted so much to have a father who loves me and in whose arms I can feel protected. I remember how once as a child, I think I was 6, I cried out to God in my prayer if He wants to be my Father for my mother who gave me birth is weak and I feel unprotected. I praised Him telling: ' You, Heavenly Father anyway you're anywhere and everywhere with me but my father that You've given me here on earth can not be with me everywhere - You're a much better Father than my earthly father '

~ Sunday at Church little me taking the microphone to say a poem to the Lord ~

I liked to read the Bible and even as a child I spent time studying the Word of God, and when I encountered things I could not understand especially in the Old Testament I would tell God but who am I to criticize Thee?!

"Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker-- An earthenware vessel among the vessels of earth! Will the clay say to the potter, 'What are you doing?' Or the thing you are making say, 'He has no hands '? Isaiah 45:9

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. 

Isaiah 55:8

And I would harmonize saying, You have your reasons God!

Once I was so scared when I read:

I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. Exodus 20:5-6

So, I told God if someone in my family have ever hated You. Sorry, please! But I love You and please do not hold this against me. I'm Your child!

I did not let anything discourage me in loving Him and separate me from my Heavenly Father, I believed in Him that He came in the flesh on earth and that Jesus is His Son the Savior of the world. So much I loved the Lord Jesus that when I tried to say children's prayer ~ Angel of God, my guardian dear ~ my soul grieved...

For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. 

1 Timothy 2:5

My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 1 John 2:1

Only Jesus is at the right hand of the Father and I gave Him the praise! I always had perseverance and trust in Him, and love for Him in my heart. And He also taught us how to pray...

The Lord's Prayer

"And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words. "So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. "Pray, then, in this way: 

'Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 'Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. 'Give us this day our daily bread.…'And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.'…Matthew 6:7-12

Since childhood it was important for me that all my praise be to the Heavenly Father! I remember how I once tried to test to see if God really exists, and I said to Him that after the sleep I'll get at noon  to make a Barbie doll appear under the blanket I put it on the chair; I was saddened when I found no doll but it did not made ​​me lose faith in Him.

And in fact many years later after passing through many trials He proved me that I'm His lil'girl
~ a living doll ~

With me, Satan and his minions seeing the faith I have even as a child the tactic he tried on me to separate me from God was to harm me in filthy ways and in consequence of it arousing in my heart hatred for God.

*

My first harm occurred at an early age just before Easter when very late in the evening my mother and aunt were still in the kitchen baking cookies but one of the recipes lacked an ingredient " Turkish delight " and against the will of my mother I convinced her that I could go to the store alone. In the store I noticed that a gypsy had his eyes on me, he approached me and stroked my hair while telling me I'm beautiful - he was drunk and bought more alcohol, I waited for him to go out of the store and a few minutes later I went out too, but he waited outside for me, his shadow was behind me and in a moment he took me in his arms, the pretext was to get me pass a bridge that was under construction, he began telling me since how long he had no sex and so on. After we crossed the bridge he put me down and tried to pull me on a dark street but I accidentally touched a wound that he had at hand and threatened me that if I touch it again he will slap me so hard. I prayed to God and I said, Lord 'I will rather die than being raped by this man - give me courage, strength and power' I took the man's hand and I press on his wound with all my/ God's strength.  Then I ran as hard as I could...

Several years later, at age 13 I was on summer vacation to my grandmother in the village a few miles away from my hometown. I went to the "disco" village together with my good friend and neighbor from the village; a boy at the disco from another village asked if he could dance in our group, I said..' yeah! dance where you want I don't just sit in one place and dance. ' Any way...at the end of the night when I had to go home, I told my friend that I do not want to take the road through the village because it is muddy and all the dogs are barking, let's take the main road. It was pitch black; a car passed us full of boys and I felt in my soul to hide I told my friend 'Come let's hide in the cornfield' but she said 'Do not worry, I protect you' - all took place in a twinkle of an eye - the car reversed, but God already pushed me in the cornfield, my friend did not want to follow me, and from the cornfield I saw the boy from the disco who asked to dance in our group coming out of the car and asked my friend where is the other " brunette " ? She refused to say where I am and I eye witness her taking the beating for it. If I had come out of the cornfield most likely the boys would have forced me in the car, drive off and gang raped me. While she was beaten, voices were heard of other persons who were on their way home and the attacker left her and drove off..

*

A few years later, when I was coming home from the city from a date I had with my then boyfriend, a man followed me and while I walked the stairs to the apartment building of my parents, this man running towards me puts his hand in the crack of my long coat catch me between the legs and throws me to the wall; wearing a short skirt with one hand he touch me in my intimate area and with the other hand holding a knife to my throat he threatened me to shut up. All this while looking down, I have not looked at him so I can ask for mercy to let me alive. I cried out to God, please do not let this disgrace happen to me and my mother and neighbors to see me raped and breathless in a pool of blood on the stairs. Suddenly with a divine force that man was thrust towards the balustrade started shaking and scared he looked at me, then ran. I could hardly walk, I crawled up to the apartment after which I screamed hysterically, I thought I was home alone but my mother was at home and was frightened by my screams after I managed to tell what happened to me she ran out to find that man but surely he disappeared from sight...

*

When I was already in my early 20's, at the time I lived in Germany; I was on my way home in broad daylight taking a shortcut on a street less congested that pass through a tunnel which comes out in a park near my home at the time. I noticed a car behind me driving very slowly, three men were in the car that seemed to be from Middle East, the ice was broken after a few minutes when the man that sat in the passenger seat next to driver approached me if I want to buy perfume. I answered politely, No, thank you! He tried to lure me in by me approaching the car and put my head on the car window and see the bag of perfumes which was between his legs. Of course I refused and I stopped talking to him; I knew that if I will approach the car the man on the back seat will throw me in the car so fast with not even time to scream. He insisted so much that he became vulgar and angry towards me, I started panicking my legs went limp with fear, these three men were very robust and their faces filled with violence. I stayed far away from the curb but I saw that we are approaching the tunnel at which for certain the man would have come out of the car to grab me and throw me in the car. I was thinking already about what will become of me, beat me first, I was sure of that and I will probably never see the light of day - and I will be their rag in their sexual purposes on selling me as " living goods " - I prayed to God, the Holy One of Israel ~ Jesus ~  to help me and deliver me. Suddenly I saw coming out of the tunnel a group of young athletes boys and my heart jumped for joy, the men in the car looked to see what I saw and when they saw those youngsters gave speed towards the tunnel. Surely, I ran back to the main street, thanking God that He sent those young athletes on my way, they not even knowing that they were like a gift send to me. 

*

It was very difficult for me to talk about my sexual harassment because many girls are raped or sold and I thought I would seem & sound like I would be more special in God's eyes, which is definitely not true - and even if God had allowed me to be smitten I still would have loved Him.

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28

I know God can revive my body and my "fear" was and is towards those who wish to destroy my HOPE and FAITH in Jesus.

After many years in which I asked God, why did you saved me, so many times?! He replied from His own Word, the Bible...

"I will rescue those who love Me. I will protect those who trust in My name. When they call on Me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. Psalm 91:14-15

From many others events where I fell trap He saved me although I have not deserved, because even though I asked Him to be my Father, I did not have the behavior of being His daughter, my lifestyle certainly was an abomination to Him and I postponed the moment of repentance and surrender to Jesus because I wanted to enjoy life on what my heart desires. And I remember reading in the Bible...

Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. Walk in the ways of your heart and the sight of your eyes. But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment. Ecclesiastes 11:9

The last sentence til I finished read had already been hazy in my mind and I thought I had free reign from God to have fun and enjoy my youth in the ways of my heart. And to repentance I'll could come later. I allowed myself to be deceived, although I knew I sin towards Him, I tried to change Him instead of let Him change me, I knew that if...

Anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 

2 Corinthians 5:17

I knew that Jesus can change the human heart and my life will be more of Him and less of me..

“If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me. Luke 9:23

And I desired to become a Model, and I thought this way I'll be admired and loved and fill the lack of love and attention that I lacked in childhood. However I did promised Jesus I will come back to Him and to show Him that I'm serious and really love Him, I'll repent, take the water baptism and let Him change me, the promise will be fulfilled after I get married!

When you make a promise to God, don't delay in following through, for God takes no pleasure in fools. Keep all the promises you make to Him. Ecclesiastes 5:4

I pretty much gamble with the final destination of my soul out of the pleasure in satisfying my own desires - my own "ME"

Although I liked to be a Model and pose provocative & sensual in underwear, bikinis and even nude never in this euphoria did I felt loved, in fact at one point I became very depressed and these are moments that I prefer to remain between me and Jesus.

Let's just say He showed me that only He is the One who loves me the most! And He fought for me, He effectively shut the doors that I was opening and not allowed me to fall, bringing me to remembrance I am the daughter of the Most High God and I belong to Him.

He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. 

John 1:11-13

For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!" The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, Romans 8:14-15

And I have sinned terribly before Him especially because I know Him and know His law!

I passionately kissed a woman and I entertained the thought of being bisexual but out of love for Jesus I have not pursue this lifestyle for He said:

"Haven't you read," - "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and, 'FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH '? "So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate." Matthew 19:4-6

"If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. "I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you. "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.…John 14:15-18

I remember the Holy Spirit convict me of sin and press it on the heart my rebellion. And I ceased to do nude pictures, this was the first step and after I got baptized in 2010 the first two years many other changes have occurred: No more underwear, bikinis shoots. No interest in pursuing Modeling but rather be a Model for Jesus Christ! The music I listen to is different, the movies I watch, how I dress, all my being has changed and I'm still " Under Construction "

And I am sure of this, that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6

Point is, I became very sensitive to sin and my heart rejoices in the Lord, sometimes, I am like King David, just dancing before God...

And David danced before the LORD with all his might, wearing a priestly garment. 

2 Samuel 6:14

The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. 

Galatians 5:22-25

Jesus heals my soul, gives me hope and His love fills my soul and gives me reason to live not for me but for Him. For life is worship and...

*...he who has lost his life for My sake will find it. Matthew 10:39

I am happily married, and I have a husband that I love and loves me very much but only Jesus, my Saviour can give me to live life to the fullest...

 I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. 

John 10:10

Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. 

John 18:36

I desire that Jesus the King of Kings and Lords of Lords the moment I stand before Him to say:

‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your Master.’ Matthew 25:23

'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. Matthew 25:34

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 

Matthew 6:21

My treasures are in Heaven! And this is my testimony Living for my King  Jesus, from childhood until now and forever to be His child.


A message for you: Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you--unless, of course, you fail the test? 2 Corinthians 13:5

A Beautiful Picture

A few evenings ago while reading the Bible I asked God if he wants to show me something...
He showed me a beautiful picture of my love Jesus in the Book of Proverbs of the Old Testament!

“The Lord possessed me at the beginning of his work,

    the first of his acts of old.

 Ages ago I was set up,

    at the first, before the beginning of the earth.

 When there were no depths I was brought forth,

    when there were no springs abounding with water.

 Before the mountains had been shaped,

    before the hills, I was brought forth,

 before he had made the earth with its fields,

    or the first of the dust of the world.

 When he established the heavens, I was there;

    when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,

 when he made firm the skies above,

    when he established the fountains of the deep,

 when he assigned to the sea its limit,

    so that the waters might not transgress his command,

when he marked out the foundations of the earth,

    then I was beside him, like a master workman,

and I was daily his delight,

    rejoicing before him always,

 rejoicing in his inhabited world

    and delighting in the children of man.

 “And now, O sons, listen to me:

    blessed are those who keep my ways.

Hear instruction and be wise,

    and do not neglect it.

 Blessed is the one who listens to me,

    watching daily at my gates,

    waiting beside my doors.

 For whoever finds me finds life

    and obtains favor from the Lord,

 but he who fails to find me injures himself;

    all who hate me love death.”

~ Proverbs 8:22-36 ~

My soul was filled with joy - I found a treasure hidden in the writings of the prophets of the Old Testament!

Jesus said: “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” Luke 24:44

The joy in knowing Jesus - in being close to Him makes you feel so worthy! In spending time with Him in prayer in knowing that He's close to you and listen to you, cares about you but above all He loves you. It is something that overwhelms you and humbles you - when you realize ~ Who He Is ~  it will never cease to make you wonder ' What did you see in me Lord? ' in a sinner like me..

You'll feel like John the Baptist: He is the one who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. John 1:27

I am always  grateful to God for the patience He has with me and for His love. When I think about how much pain I brought Him yet He says ' I love you ' - and He gave His only Son for me - for all who believe in Him.

And I pray that my family and my friends will see His glory - and how Great and Wonderful He is; Lord of Lords and King of Kings.  And that He will have patience with them to come to repentance. But time is short and I urge you not to lengthen for the coming of Jesus is near. Repent and seek the Lord!


I have set before you today life and good, death and evil. Deuteronomy 30:15 

                                                  !! Choose Life !!

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman. Galatians 4:4

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.

I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything,  but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father.  In the same way we also, when we were children, were enslaved to the elementary principles of the world. But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”  So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.

Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods.  But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?

~ Galatians 3:28-29; 4:1-9 ~

No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. Matthew 6:24

Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5

Godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world.  But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.
But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness.  Fight the good fight of the faith. 1 Timothy 6:6-12

You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. ' I will be found by you,'  declares the LORD. 

~ Jeremiah 29:13-14 ~

The pursuit of happiness, fame and fortune

One of my childhood dreams was to become famous -admired and loved - don't we all?

As a little girl I always wanted to become a Model - and shine on magazines covers. So I started working on my dream since childhood trying to fulfill my aspiration. If I remember correctly I think my first job as a Model was in a TV commercial featuring Roma Gold Jewelry in my native country Romania. As the years go passing by, living in Germany working as a Model - I started to feel lonesome; loved?...certainly not!
So, yes - I definitely understand the desire to have dreams of fame and fortune. I myself have sought happiness in these worldly desires.

Okay! Enough talking about me - I just wanted to briefly present you a part of my life which defines me no more!

Please! Do not think I ceased to dream big, actually I dream of things that I've never seen - heard and my human heart never imagined, that's how big I dream!

There is a saying: Look to the future!
And this is what I do. Actually, I dare to look ahead of future into eternity.

If you look carefully around you will notice that wanting more from life most often leads in misery, you have no guarantee that in being rich and famous will bring you love, happiness and a peaceful life.
So let me introduce you to the true path in the pursuit of happiness, fame and fortune that lasts forever.

Most times we are presented to ' life your best life now  -  if it feels good do it - you have the power to change your life - follow your heart ' Tip: Do not follow your heart! The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9 - Rather follow God!!

The truth is how many of us live a life that we do not want?! Yes, of course there are few people who have managed to live their lives above their expectations but many of them have paid a price for it. And the price paid often is: fame and wealth - without God!

Jesus says: For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? Matthew 16:26

All of these things " worldly things " - the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life - comes not from the Father but from the world. 1 John 2:16


                                                ~ Lay Up Treasures in Heaven ~

Jesus told us:

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:19-21

Despite the pantheism belief ( the belief that God is everything and everyone and that everyone and everything is God - e.g., Hinduism and Buddhism, New Age, “mother nature” worshipers,various unity and unification cults ) the reality is that we are born, grow up, live a while on planet Earth, and die!

And you know what surprises me; people rather tend to hope in karma is the process of reincarnation -wherein acts from a previous life can determine the situation of the next - that our good can outweigh our bad. They complain about the misery on Earth, a life of suffering and injustice but they'll do it all over again. Go figure!

And not only this, but in case you have bad karma - after the law of karma is that in the next life you could be an animal. Let me tell you this: you think people have it bad? I guess you did not see animal cruelty - many of which are endangered!

You, my dear precious friend get mad at me when I say: Repent - Believe in Jesus! Apart from the Holy One of Israel there is no Hope but eternal separation in Hell/ the lake of fire. 

But what hope do you give me? 

I must be born karma knows how many times - to live hell on earth? Considering our self-destructive minds -  we are our own destroyer! Did you watch the news lately? How contaminate the planet is? And besides this having weapon of mass destruction? Powerful nations of the world currently in turmoil, one nation against another. You feel safe? And you wonder when men fight wars - when in the mother's womb a woman is encouraged cutting from life her unborn child. Her blood and flesh! Where is the love? 

The word of God says to: train the young women to love their husbands and children! Titus 2:4

Only in the days of Noah and Lot ( Sodom and Gomorrah ) you heard of such moral wickedness. Times that Jesus foretold that they would come again in the last days...

Read: Luke 17:26-29!

Put your trust in Jesus because we live in perilous times and you do not know who will throw first a nuclear bomb. Let us thank God that the days are cut short. Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. Matthew 24:22

Therefore - eternal hell in the lake of fire is displeasing to you. Life on earth for me with the hope that karma gives me, does not delight me - with each passing day the earth becomes increasingly godless and lamentable - not a place I want to come back. And please do not come up with being reborn on another planet. Look at you - you're a finite human being! You can not do things out of human nature; e.g flying!

Living a life believing you're god and one with the Universe - you'll wake up to realize that you are a finite human being - created - and therefore accountable to God.

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23

Middle way there is not! Instead of looking for what suits you better seek the truth!

It surprises me the thinking of many in their rejection in which God's right to judge the world seems to be unfair to them; like who his God to judge the world? This being one main reason why the God of the Bible is rejected. He is a Judge! 

But if we look at the law of karma - and many are those who are indulging in this belief; karma not only judge your good and bad actions according to which it depends your new reincarnation - but also reminds them again and again in each reincarnation, based on the deeds you earn to be reborn into a new earthly body. This is quite judging - boastful pride - favoring!

While the Word of God declares:

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. Romans 3:23-26

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more. Hebrews 8:12

I, I am the one who wipes away all your sins. I do this to please myself. I will not remember your sins. Isaiah 43:25

The Holy God of Israel promises to no longer remember our sins! And only one life we are destined to live on this earth.

And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment. Hebrews 9:27

Our salvation is not based on our works but is the gift of God. For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God— not by works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

And a new heaven and earth is waiting for the former things have passed away and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying or pain!

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.  And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:1-4

And if you want to be reunited with loved ones after their departure from this world - how is that possible after the law of karma? Considering that depends on our actions in what you will be reborn!

Such reincarnations makes our reunion with our loved ones be without remembrance of our love and no retrieval. And who am I ultimately, if I'm always begin life anew?? What is the meaning of life - to struggle to succeed in life, and often we don't even get to enjoy the fruit of our labor...

A life you are given to live - seek the truth!

Truth by definition is narrow - 2 plus 2 only equals 4! Only Jesus gave people this hope: Because I live, you also will live. John 14:19

And my dear precious friend this is my dream: to  ~ live ~ in future glory - life in all its fullness -  and be filled with all the fullness of God.

Jesus said:

I have come so that they may have life, life in all its fullness. John 10:10

God’s people, will be given strength to grasp the breadth, length, height and depth of the Messiah’s love, yes, to know it, even though it is beyond all knowing, so that you will be filled with all the fullness of God Ephesians 3:18-19

I dream that one day I will stand before my Creator, the Holy One of Israel and dwell with Him.

And there shall be no night there; and they need no lamp, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God gives them light: and they shall reign forever and ever. Revelation 22:5

I dream of a new heaven and earth!

The holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. Revelation 21:11

I rejoice knowing that He will call me blessed and I will feel worthy. 

Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand, ‘Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. Matthew 25:34

And that Jesus Himself will give me the Crown of Life 

Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life. Revelation 2:10

I, Daniela standing proud beside Him and grated to sit with Jesus on His throne. 

To him that overcomes, will I grant to sit with Me on My throne, even as I also overcame and am set down with My Father on His throne. Revelation 3:21

My fame will be forever; that I, Daniela is one of those very few who found the golden rule.

Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. Matthew 7:13-14

I will be the victorious princess - daughter of King of Kings - made new in a glorious powerful incorruptible eternal body. Although I do not know how my new body will be like, I know that it would be like Jesus Christ glorious body.

Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. 1 John 3:2-3  

Some find gold, diamonds and various jewelry but I'll be made beautiful and sparkling; my shine will be like that of a precious jewel in the kingdom of God. 

Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, and the Lord listened and heard them; so a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the Lord and who meditate on His name.  “They shall be Mine,” says the Lord of hosts, “on the day that I make them My jewels.  And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him.”Malachi 3:16-17 

Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.  He who has ears to hear, let him hear! Matthew 13:43  

The Lord their God will save them on that day as the flock of his people.  They will sparkle in his land like jewels in a crown.  How attractive and beautiful they will be! Zechariah 9:16-17

My fortune will be in things that I do not even yet know because I can not even perceive the greatness and wonders that God has prepared for those who love Him. 

All this is waiting for me just because I believed - repent and follow His Light.

I believe in Jesus and that God send Him and raised Him from the death. I believe that He is the Holy Son of God, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9

Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! John 1:29

Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God,  and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.” Mark 1:14-15 

Therefore I believe that:

The sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us. Romans 8:18

Someday no more would I see a puzzling reflections in a mirror! The day will come when God himself will explain me the secrets and mysteries of the world and why it had to be this way...

For now we see obscurely in a mirror,

but then it will be face to face.

Now I know partly; then I will know fully,

just as God has fully known me.1 Corinthians 13:12

But I perceive already that God in essence is love - and love is not by force - but true love always bears up, always trusts, always hopes, always endures..and that which is perfect is come!

Read 1 Corinthians 13!

And discipline must be endured that we may share His Holiness.

It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Hebrews 12:7-11

In response to God's love is to seek Him. 

                                                  ~ To know Him is to love Him ~

Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:8

May you believe and rejoice in the Lord Jesus Christ! A wonderful and eternal life awaits for you who believe and receive the gift made for you ​​on the Cross.
