The Seeds Have Been Sown

Have you been living your life so that you are ready to face the eternal levels of Dante's Divine Comedy? Deep inside of us there is a place where we can go to truly look at ourselves if we choose to. It is a place where we push all of the values, thoughts, and behaviors that we do not want to acknowledge about ourselves. This storage place can be brutally honest, and so it is very seldom visited by most people because the things seen are very startling. The few times that we do go there, very rarely do we automatically accept what we encounter. Most of us consider our ways appropriate to what we are doing or the age that we live in. Concentration is on our daily tasks and earthly wants, and so we do what we feel we need to in order to obtain the outcomes that we desire. This thinking appears to be rational at the time and believed followed for necessity. When we think of eternity, we think of it as a very distant occurrence, and most of the time we do not include our "forever" in the decisions that we make. He has given us a free will to use to serve Him or ourselves. He has given each of us a seed to grow, and we must feed that seed or let it go.
