The Two Foundations In Life

There are two kind of hearts in this world

One is soft like clay
it lends itself to be molded by the hand of God

One is hard like rock
it lends itself to be molded by the hand of the world

There are two kinds of faith in this world

Some put their faith in mental and physical strengths
That come from with in themselves

Some put their faith in the wisdom and power
That comes from God above

There are two kinds of foundations that lives are built upon

Some are built upon a foundation of faith love , hope

Some are built upon a foundation of selfishness, pride and greed

There will come many great storms throughout life
they will test the foundations we have built upon

Some will stand strong and unmovable
like a sea wall holding back the ocean

some will be weak and be swept away
Like a sand castle is washed away by the tide of the sea

    some move between the two ways as they struggle to find peace . The hope is the two selves will learn to share a inner peace that will touch all who come in contact with that peace.
    I honestly believe there is a flame ignited at birth in every single human being and when touched by love it shines a little brighter.

    I actually believe that all hearts are pure and gentle. It is just that we can be conditioned to hear more with our ears sometimes than our hearts. However our hearts are eternally there for us whenever we wish to listen. I also believe as humans that body, mind and heart when embraced togeather make for the most complete human. Deep hearts should imo be accompanied by deep thinking.

    Trevor,

    I would like for you to pray for me as I consider to start a series that will challenge people to consider the false hood of evolution theory . In this series i am planing to point out the animal that live to day, that were thought to have been part of a lower link in the evolution chain of another animal. I will also point out the false missing lings in the evolution of man.
    Pray for wisdom as I share this information on the internet.
