Dear all! Hope you are enjoying the guest posts from friends as much as I enjoy posting them. Here's one from a good friend of ours Beschi Joel. Please email me at nrigirl@hotmail.com if you would like to submit a post as well.

About the Author: Beschi is one of the best we have encountered. He has a genuine love for his friends and family. Always looking to help others, not caring much for his own benefit. We truly enjoy each opportunity we get to chat with him on varying subjects. Here he is talking about how his first priority has become His Saviour over the years...

Our children are the center of our Universe now. We need to expand our circle and bring in the poor and downtrodden in our thoughts and prayers. Then into plan and actions.

I am slowly learning that my center should be God. Self, Parents and Children come after wards. We need to learn to connect to our own inner self and to the kids, spouse, parents and friends through God. God has to be the first link that connects us to any one else including our self. By self , I mean our own impulses, desires, motives, intentions. When God comes as the first connection, we get His Mercy, Love, Compassion, Wisdom and Guidance.

I stray away from God and Wander and He pulls me like a magnet. Like a planet is kept in an orbit around a star, I am pulled closer to Him. We are all like that. Some take a longer orbit. Some spin very close by. Some unite with the Star.

I believe that even a cruel person has a purpose. He helps others pause , think and change course. God created him and used him for the good of many as a warning. God will reward , compensate and console those who suffer/suffered, in His own time and in His own ways. We also go through many surprises in Life, pleasant and sad. We may not find answers for all.

God could have used us as a cruel person for a purpose. We have to ask God. Why I did I do that ? How could I do that ? I used to KILL birds and squirrels when I was in high school using a catapult. I am deeply hurt by that NOW. How do I compensate ? Who can forgive me ?

God has to heal me. God probably comforted the spirits of those creations and renewed them. ( do they have a soul/spirit ? Ecclesiates 3:18-21, Job,Psalm 104:29-31)

We are no different. When we suffer in the hands of others, we need to pause and think and Glorify God. He has a purpose. When we are happy, then also let us rejoice and Glorify God.

What else is a better option ?
