What gives me hope and actually comforts me (and almost scientifically gives proof) about God being very capable of drawing us back to Him is the fact that at some point in our lives, all of us humans, regardless of how far off the mark we may be, at some point we acknowledge God. Whether it's a near death experience, a near and dear near death experience, or whatever experience, we call on His name.
I'm not sure how ready I am for
It is going to get a whole lot worse
but I'm glad it is going to get us to call out to Him. That has to be a great start.
No blinder the blind eye that chooses to not see God or His Ways but prefers to make bitter what is sweet and sweet what is bitter.
At some point sweet will be sweet. Sometimes I look at people in my country who follow a religion which is based on what the leader says (cant say which religion that is because this is not about the religion). There're so many followers of the religion. The one thing I picked up from them is that they are one. They all wear this one (really ugly) uniform, they all travel together for their services, they share everything among themselves and they genuinely believe in being of the same source. But based on the doctrines poured down by their leader, they tend to get involved in things which harm other people without their knowing (well some are really in the dark about their doings). These are people who can outdo the Samaritan any day.
The point to all this gibberish is, as much as it may look like humanity is going down the drain, humanity is actually going in the right direction. Maybe not at the level of submission or humility or unity that we would prefer, but we are going in the right direction:
all the way back to Him. The worse it seems to be getting, the more He shows Himself (like through teachings from Ray etc), and the more we realize we have to go back to Him. Even some scientists, who were hell-bent on the absence of a Creator, are acknowledging a Higher Power. Some good is coming out of the evil that is going on.
