THE MESSAGE
Transcribed on 7th March 2025 @ 4:00pm
The Chrysalis: From which the life emerges. The seamless seed from which a new plant spouts.
Have you given thought to how much can come from one tiny element. Mighty oaks from seeds that will grow into giant trees and shed thousands of acorns containing all the instructions needed to reproduce a perfect copy of its mother.
What about you? Where did this life you have now originate? Two tiny extracts come together to form the basis for your life. But life? Where does that come from? Do you think the spark is contained in that original biological mix?
Your scientists don’t know, even with all the technology and advancements in the medical fields, the spark that or res life remains a mystery on earth.
Yet everyone and everything doesn’t give it a second thought. It would be unjust to say that nobody cares. It’s just an aspect of existence that is often overlooked.
Philosophers have always suggested that the spark that gives something life is controlled by God. That force to which everything is susceptible.
When someone suggests there is no God, ask them therefore how is life possible? How can plants reproduce? How can animals, insects and humans reproduce the life spark without there being no force, no God to administer it?
Your televisions and screens can capture the humble seed come to life with first a tiny root, a tender shoot, followed by a leaf and more stem, more leaves, growing towards the light.
Is that where the clue lies? The light? The light of God perhaps? If there is light, surely there is God with it?
From that spark of life, intelligence follows. Animals with automatic instincts. Humans with the option of choices. Life, ever evolving, ever growing, ever present, as is God. There cannot be one without the other. God is everything. Every thing means everywhere. Everywhere means around us and within us. To dismiss this is futile.
You and I exist because of God. We started out as a handful of elements. His spark gave the life to us. We live in God’s ‘world.
And yet, some will read my words that you are kindly writing for me and suggest I’m a religious fanatic, blindfolded and narrow-visioned. I think not, I reply. It is the others that are blind. To live and to not know why. To speak without thought. To deny, to dispute, to argue. To take all of God’s work for granted. That is not me and that should not become your way either.
You, and every one else have before you the wonder of time, the beauty of God’s home and the endless ability to love all and love oneself with it.
Isn’t life precious when you appreciate its value? Its value comes from its uniqueness. You are, as I am, unique creations from the God of all that is.
Enjoy your day my dear friend, and enjoy life, for without it, there is nothing. In God’s world nothing does not exist. You are something, if not nothing. Something always has value. Value your life and give praise to your creator.
Goodbye
