FIRST THINGS FIRST!

 

First Things First!

When I was a student, all my math teachers taught me that zero is not a number.

But who can ignore and deny the difference that a zero makes when added multiple times next to any number!

Wow!

You are one of those individuals who feel like they are nothing in this life, no less important than a minus zero?

Every time you wake up in the morning, what do you see inside that mirror?

Is that the zero you feel you are even as your eyes blink coordinated with your heartbeat with each breath you take?

Who do you see, moving and gesturing inside your mirror?

There is no power or force strong enough in the world to help change your attitude towards yourself!

If you cannot believe what your mirror shows you: as you appear in real life like we all see you; consider yourself another walking dead individual!

Do you want to hear the story of God?

Sure, then listen up!

People do not understand just how difficult it was for God to be God, and actual feel like One True God!

You see, since God could not see His own reflection, He had to fumble around by creating things like dinosaurs and all the extinct ugly animals.

His world as God did not change until God said to Himself: Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.

Now.

Remember that the likeness of God came out of the portion of Godliness God breathed into Adam which revived and gave life to this man?

Man, O man!

I hate to do this and hope you can detect all my tears inside every word I break down for you!

God cannot be God without you recognizing your image inside your own mirror.

You are the image of God personified!

First things first are about God recognizing His own image in you! Please, do not let God down by denying yourself.

Whoa! So, do you think you do not believe in God? But God believes in you despite yourself. God cannot unlike you, deny Himself because He sees Himself in you!

First things first. Did you know that you are one of the eight billion zeros which come after God in this world?

You can fly around the world searching, and you will never find a mathematician who can read out a number with eight billion zeros behind it!

In case you did not know this. This is not a motivational talk. This is your story about life, about you!

You are the zero I woke up thinking about this morning. I am talking to you!

Why do you think taking your own life will end all your problems?

First things first. You are down here below because God wanted you to be here.

So, do you think having more money will change your life and help you recognize yourself in that mirror?

First things first. Come on, here, take my hand and let us celebrate life together!

Can you hear the birds singing outside? What about all the voices you can hear, of people doing the life that you want to end?

Eureka!

I remembered my name again in 2025!

All my memory is still intact: I cannot thank God enough for the gift of life!
