God, I am on your side.

God, I am on your side.

My quest for the truth continues.

There is one characteristic we all humans have - and that is partisanship. It is illogical, it is not founded on facts, it is in our hearts.

Do not ask me why I like BMW's and can't stand Mecedes Benzes - Why I shout for the Spanish football team and not for the French - and why I take the side of my kids against the whole world. I do not know !! But still I do.

Why do the tears roll down my face when I am touched by Love or by the finger or Spirit of God? I do not know - and it is not my intellect which responds, but something inside me over which I have no control. Trying to suppress the feeling as much as I can, I cannot do it completely.

I know on which side I am, but how I got to that I do not know, but I know with all my heart that I am on that side.

But is this side I am on, the side I take with my heart, or the one I am selling?

To quote from The Big Kahuna :

It doesn't matter whether you're selling Jesus or Buddha or civil rights or 'How to Make Money in Real Estate With No Money Down.' That doesn't make you a human being; it makes you a marketing rep. If you want to talk to somebody honestly, as a human being, ask him about his kids. Find out what his dreams are - just to find out, for no other reason. Because as soon as you lay your hands on a conversation to steer it, it's not a conversation anymore; it's a pitch. And you're not a human being; you're a marketing rep.

I'm saying you've already done plenty of things to regret, you just don't know what they are. It's when you discover them, when you see the folly in something you've done, and you wish that you had it do over, but you know you can't, because it's too late. So you pick that thing up, and carry it with you to remind you that life goes on, the world will spin without you, you really don't matter in the end. Then you will gain character, because honesty will reach out from inside and tattoo itself across your face.

Do one thing everyday that scares you. Sing. Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts; Don’t put up with other people who are reckless with yours. Floss. Don’t waste your time on jealously, sometimes you ahead, sometimes your behind. The race is long, an in the end its only with yourself. Remember compliments you receive; forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this tell me how. Keep your old love letters-Throw away your old bank statements.


The question I wish to ask is : Am I on the side of God with my whole heart?
