There's No Perfection In Man

Although Man was created so wonderfully and as perfect as He is, there's no perfection in Man when it comes to obedience, swiftly he responds in rebellion; his ego can't be broken easily, and submission to the living God is a painful loss and an end to his pride.... If man or woman thinks that they are above a Supreme Being who has always existed, they will find themselves wearing a vain crown; for all the gold and monetary gain they have achieved over their life-time, not knowing that everything accumulated will not worth a single dime: its merely human greed, and God will not tolerate it as in ancient times... Examine the short life of Christ, from childhood to adulthood, He was born of humble origins and yet proclaimed a message beyond human conception, so He spoke in parables and everyone understood them; when all the wealthy ones don't share their fortune with the ones less lucky than they are, they are forsaken by Him! See the difference when kind people give of themselves: how a desperate and grim look turns bright, and an empty hand is completely full of hope... There's no perfection in Man as Adam was, the Designer delighted in his creation and expected him to ever obey His commands; and we still resist His will with contention: fearing nothing, until tragedy strikes us! And He, so distant from us, won't her our cry from a planet truly beautiful, but full of animosity: our belligerent spirit clashes with the Almighty...
