What I Must Do, Not what I Must Know – Kierkegaard

Kierkegaard, Journals - August 1, 1835, mythoughts, thoughtsofgod, thoughts of God

It is a question of understanding my destiny, of seeing what the Deity really wants me to do; the thing is to find a truth which is truth for me, to find the idea for which I am willing to live and die.

For to Me, to Live Is Christ and to Die Is Gain

Earlier tonight, I was in a group discussing the last half of the first chapter Paul's Epistle to the Philippians. The discussion settled on verses 1:21-26 21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22 But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labor for me; and I do not know which to choose. 23 But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better; 24 yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that your proud confidence in me may abound in Christ Jesus through my coming to you again. mythoguhts, thoughtsofgod, thoughts of God

For me there is no question. “To die is gain” and “to live is Christ”. I am confident that the minute I die, will be followed by movement into the presence of God. If that is not gain, I don’t know what is.

God’s Spirit Spoke to the Prophets and Gave Them Visions

Sh'ma Yissrael - Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one! אֶחָֽד יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ יְהוָ֥ה יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל שְׁמַ֖ע You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. מְאֹדֶֽךָ׃וּבְכָל־ נַפְשְׁךָ֖ וּבְכָל־ לְבָבְךָ֥ בְּכָל־ אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ יְהוָ֣ה אֵ֖ת וְאָ֣הַבְתָּ֔

As He spoke to me the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet; and I heard Him speaking to me.” Ezekiel 2

Christian Mysticism – Life in Christ

The simple desire for living in the presence of God indicates that the journey has began. Abiding in Christ often begins with appreciating what God has already done. This appreciation is worship.

Prayer is communication between the soul and what that soul considers divine. For me divinity is found in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, Christianity’s Trinity. To whom the soul prays matters.
