The Stars a Testimony of Gods Love

Have you ever looked into the sky on a dark cloudless night and beheld the grand view of the Milky Way Galaxy? Envisioning the wonders of the unknown and imagining what is out there? What aw that captures our minds at the vastness and glory that hangs seemingly so close to our eyes but flees from our out stretched hands grasping to touch and longing to know. This scene is causation of many feelings thougths and philosophies, I will speak of two generalized introspective feelings in the soul, first: that we have no significance and that the stars are of greater value and infinitesimally greater then what ever we could or may become, second: that such a scene is a grand spectrum, there is a Divine Creator. I will write on these two thoughts giving my views on the two.

First thought that the stars have such value that our simple human mind is far below these scenes infinitesimally value and intrinsic character. This thought and these feelings are what many of us, as humans, experience in life feelings or insignificance and of little too know value. Many problems in life arise from these particular feelings, attention is one of the essentials of self actualization, meaning in life, zen, Nirvana, what ever you may call it. This is the reason for which children misbehave, why people drink, smoke, buy red sports cars, burn out, show off, ect... We all want to be known, make a difference and BE IMPORTANT. This is manifest in the previous statements...

Second thought, that the stars raise our vision of what we can become, they inspire uplift and motivate us to become all that we can become under given circumstances. This is a positive out look while gazing into the canvas of God. The stars are Gods testimony to us of his love, he has created the universe for us, so that we may live with him once again. It gives us the knowledge that we are of importance, worth and that HE HEARS US. This propels us beyond the gap of uncertainty and gives us the attention key in our progression to the fulfilling of our purpose, reaching self actualization, zen, Nirvana, ect...

We are of ETERNAL SIGNIFICANCE. The entire human family matter to our Creator, in fact we matter so much to him that he has provided a way to return and live with him, to choose to have eternal progress. "Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God"(D&C18:10) when we pair this knowledge with that of Moses 1:39 "For behold, this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man" we understand and recognize that WE CAN MAKE IT! That the pain and all the horrific and damaging experiences in life can be worked through and that no matter what we've done, or where we've been, he loves us and that we can change, lay down those problems that we do have.

So if you read my last post I wrote, or blogged, take your choice of wordage, I advocated for application of knowledge, I challenge everyone who has read this to look introspectively into yourself and find one thing that has caused you to doubt Gods love(we all have them) and then question, why? Why did I doubt? Find the reason and fix it, through study... Will you do it?
