The real intent of life is Agape Love!
Only the Agape Love of Almighty God shows the real intent to love your Neighbors!
Get off the hate and discrimination of the world!
Unless you become the person God wants you to be, your efforts are being totally wasted!
People complicate things, tacking on rules and man-made laws that ensure frustration and kill the joy in following Christ
( 2 Corinthians 3:6 ). God wants us to love Him with all our hearts and let our obedience stem from a heartfelt desire to be pleasing in His sight. ** Luke 10:1-28(NIV)
Jesus Sends Out the Seventy-Two
10 After this, the Lord appointed seventy-two[a] others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go.2 He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.3 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4 Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.
5 “When you enter a house, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’6 If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you.7 Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house.
8 “When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you.9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’10 But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say,11 ‘Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.’12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.
13 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.15 And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades.[b]
16 “Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.”
17 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”
18 He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
21 At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do.
22 “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows who the Son is except the Father, and no one knows who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.”
23 Then he turned to his disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.”
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”
27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’[c]; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[d]”
28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”

Luke 10:1Some manuscripts seventy; also in verse 17
In February 2017, I published a blog post about my experiences with sexual harassment and gender discrimination
at Uber, where I had recently left my role as a software engineer. In
it, I described a year of employment that began with a sexual
proposition from my manager and only grew more demeaning and
demoralizing from there. The post quickly went viral, tapping into a
conversation about systemic discrimination throughout Silicon Valley.
What I wrote changed the world, some said: for the
first time, a woman had spoken up about mistreatment, the world listened
to her, and she walked away unscathed. And, in those early days, it
really did seem that I had turned the tables, and I started to wonder if
most of my fears had been unfounded. It seemed too good to be true. And
it was. I was soon jolted out of my daydream, and I awakened into a
nightmare.
It started with strange stories from my family,
friends and acquaintances. Reporters had been contacting them from day
one and asking for information about me, but now they were also being
contacted by people who didn’t seem to be reporters at all, who asked
questions about my personal life, questions about my past.
Initially, it was mostly my relatives and friends from Silicon Valley who were being contacted, but then they—whoever
“they” were—began contacting people I hadn’t spoken to in years, like an
old neighbor I hadn’t seen since I was a teenager. “Someone’s digging
really deep on you, Susan,” my neighbor said, “and it’s scary how far
back they’re going.” Whoever was trying to dig up dirt on me was going
deep into my history, talking to people that I’d forgotten I’d even
known. I didn’t know who was trying to get this information, and I
didn’t know how they were able to find out so much about my past. I
didn’t know what they were looking for, and I didn’t know what they were
going to find. It was terrifying.
TIME Person of the Year 2017: The Silence Breakers
For
giving voice to open secrets, for moving whisper networks onto social
networks, for pushing all of us to stop accepting the unacceptable, the
Silence Breakers are the 2017 Person of the Year.
Eventually, private investigators started reaching
out to me directly. At the time, I rarely answered my phone, but one
day, when I was waiting for a furniture delivery and expecting the
furniture company to call me, I received a call from a number I didn’t
recognize and I answered it. A woman was on the line. She gave me her
name, identified herself as a private investigator, claimed that she was
working on a case against Uber, and asked me to help her. I
declined with a laugh, then did some detective work on my own; a quick
Google search showed that the PI firm that she worked for had been hired
in the past for cases in which people were trying to discredit victims
of sexual misconduct.
I was being attacked on other fronts, too. My phone
would “ding” whenever I received a two‐factor authentication text
belonging to my email or social media accounts, which meant that someone
was trying to access them. I changed my passwords frequently, and
eventually got a second phone for 2FA texts, but it wasn’t enough. My
Facebook account was hacked several times, as were several old email
accounts I hadn’t used in years. Around the same time, my younger
sister’s Facebook account was hacked. The moment she told me that
someone else had gotten into her account, I logged in and looked at the
messages I’d recently sent her. I watched in horror as they went from
“unread” to “read.”
I started to hear rumors about myself and my
motivations in writing the post—rumors that were often accompanied by
phrases like “someone close to Uber,” “someone close to the board” or
even “someone at Uber.” The first rumor I’d heard had come from a
reporter who called me in late February to see if I could confirm
something: that Lyft had paid me to write a defamatory blog post about
its primary competitor. It was obviously false, and I told the reporter
so. Within a few days, I heard versions of the same rumor from other
reporters, from people in the tech industry and from employees at Uber,
all centered on Lyft’s paying me to write the blog post.
As soon as this rumor died down, another one quickly
took its place: that powerful venture capitalists in Silicon Valley had
been responsible for writing the blog post and making it go viral; in
some versions of this rumor, those “powerful people” were investors in
Lyft, Google or my husband’s company. A reporter from Business Insider wrote
in an email (which I never responded to) that she was covering a
“conspiracy theory that someone related to your husband’s company
encouraged you to write the post and then helped it go viral after you
wrote it.”
As terrifying and infuriating as the investigations
and rumors were, nothing was as scary as being followed, which started
happening shortly after I published the post that February. I noticed a
peculiar car parked outside my house. When I walked from my house to the
BART station on my way to the office, I’d often see the same car drive
past me. (Or is it really the same one? I would wonder.) Whenever
I left the office, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was being
followed. I told myself that I was imagining it.
Then, one afternoon in early March, I left work
earlier than usual. As I walked down the back steps and turned the
corner toward the street, I noticed a man jump—as if in surprise—and
start walking after me. I changed directions as I walked, going down
side streets, and whenever I glanced back, I saw him following a short
distance behind. I eventually ducked into a Whole Foods, and watched as
he walked past, sighing in relief. But when I went back out into the
street, the man was leaning on a tree, looking down at the sidewalk. I
had to walk past him, and he followed closely behind until he moved
ahead of me, stopped, turned around and looked right at me. Panic rose
in my throat, and I felt my heart beating so loudly I could hear it. I
looked around for the police, hoping to find someone, anyone, who could
help. Then I bolted as fast as I could down the street, into the BART
station and onto a train.
That was the first time I knew I was definitely being followed, and it wasn’t the last.
I didn’t know who or what I was up against. I
suspected it was Uber, though at the time I had no concrete evidence to
back that up. Several security researchers offered to look into it, and
came back with the names of various private investigation firms that
Uber had hired in the past. Its most recent PI firm, I was told, was Ergo, an opposition research company run by former CIA operatives. This terrified me even more.
I feared that Uber would send a private investigator
to break into my home, either while I was there or while I was out.
Another former employee, Morgan Richardson,
described an intimidating incident with an investigator who entered her
apartment without her permission (Uber denied that the man came
inside). If they did it to her, what would stop them from doing it to
me? What if, I wondered, someone had already come to my home and I just
didn’t know?
A deep, aching terror fell over me as I prepared for
the worst parts of my life to become public. Meanwhile, I was growing
increasingly isolated—I was working from home, and there were very few
people I could talk to about the things that were happening; more than
once, I confided in a friend, only to have our conversation parroted
back to me by a reporter a few days later.
I felt sick to my stomach every day and had trouble
sleeping. I’d lie awake in the middle of the night, racking my brain for
memories of every mean thing I’d ever said, every mistake I’d ever
made, every wrong thing I’d ever done, every lie I’d ever told, every
person I’d ever hurt. I was haunted by every fight, every angry text
message, every mean word, every breakup. I went over and over in my head
everything I’d said that could be misinterpreted, that could put me in a
bad light and undermine the authority of my claims.
At times, the anxiety, fear and horror of it got so
bad that I would curl up into a ball on the floor and cry until I felt
numb. Sometimes I would stand in the shower, turn on the water, cover my
mouth with my hands and scream until my voice was hoarse. Part of what
felt so scary was the randomness of it all: I never knew what to expect.
One morbid thought gave me comfort, however, and it’s what I told
myself every time I noticed someone following me, or whenever I was
warned about possible threats against my life: if anything happened to
me, if I was harmed or killed, everyone would know exactly who was
responsible.
TIME Person of the Year 2017: The Silence Breakers
Billy & Hells for TIME
Three years have passed since I published that blog post and shared the story of what I experienced at Uber. The company hired former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder
to investigate its culture, which ultimately led to CEO Travis
Kalanick’s departure—and just months later, my story became part of a watershed movement against sexual misconduct.
I could never have predicted the positive impact my story had in
Silicon Valley and throughout the world, nor could I have predicted the
backlash and terror that my loved ones and I faced because of it. And
I’ve asked myself countless times whether I would do it all over again
if I truly knew just how bad the bad part of speaking out would be.
Some days, when I think about all of this, I wish I
hadn’t come forward. At times I fear that if I could have seen how this
decision would affect my life, I would not have gone through with it.
But that would have been the wrong choice. Writing that post was the
right thing to do, regardless of the consequences.
Speaking up comes at great personal cost. Being a
whistleblower is not easy. It is not glamorous or fun. It will terrify
you and scare you and forever change your life in ways that will be
beyond your control. But, despite all of this, shining a light in the
darkness is the right thing to do. In some cases, like my own, it is the
only way to leave the world better than you found it.
Matthew
5:29, 'And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast [it]
from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should
perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell.'
MATTHEW 5:23-30
Is Jesus advocating dismembering of our bodies? NO!
Quite the contrary. He is drawing on the universal drive within every person of self-preservation to make a point. If you value your body highly enough that you would never
sacrifice one of its parts, then you should esteem your spiritual well
being much higher.
Ever since the fall of Adam and Eve, man's priorities have been misplaced. Great effort is put into preserving our physical life while our spiritual condition is often overlooked. It
constantly gets put on the 'back burner' while we tend to more urgent matters of this life.
Yet our physical bodies are just temporary.
If we live 70 years or more, that is just a fraction of a second in the light of eternity. Our spiritual man lives forever. The state in which it exists is determined by choices made in this life.
Therefore,
choose to make your spiritual condition your top priority. Spend more time on your spiritual well being than you do your physical well being.
You and everyone around you will be eternally grateful that you did.
Do you believe what you see or more importantly what you know to be true?
How do people get so bad and evil?
The world leads everyone to believe that there are not any repercussions for personal selfish gains! This is because most things are part of the law system wich varies and cast doubt upon any such actions! This allows humans to conceive a false belief that if you want it just go for it! Which is a lie or Deception of the Highest order!
Then as the world has seen fit to classify and operate lies or misconceptions:An old jest runs to the effect that there are three degrees of comparison among liars. There are liars, there are outrageous liars, and there are scientific experts. This has lately been adapted to throw dirt upon statistics. There are three degrees of comparison, it is said, is lying. There are lies, there are outrageous lies, and there are statistics.

If you can not or do not attempt to think earnestly in the real world of our ongoing life - then you are losing out on the enrichment of your existence! Which is where so many of the current generation resides today - Lost! Far worse most of the lost generation are not even aware of their predicament!
What you should learn, is what is needed to build a better life. Then how to help others gain knowledge which can ensure their success!
Knowledge will forever lead and out preform ignorance! God gave each of us intelligence to seek the truth in life! Otherwise, you are playing a losing game in the Eternity - which follows by the wasting of your God-given intelligence and life!

John 3:10, 'Jesus answered and said unto him, Art you a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?'
JOHN 3:1-21
The Greek word translated 'master' here actually means, 'an instructor, doctor,
teacher'. Nicodemus was a very educated man in religious matters, yet he didn't have the slightest idea what Jesus was talking about. {Which exactly where many of the world leaders and top intellects are today - they hold a supposed knowledge - yet fail to fully understand the knowledge that is before them!} Nicodemus'
relationship with God had all been academic. He knew a lot about God,
but he didn't know God personally. Jesus had a union with God that was unique and Nicodemus was intrigued. God was Jesus' father. This was foreign to Nicodemus. Jesus had not been educated by man and yet
He knew God in a way that the theologians and seminary graduates of His day didn't. He shocked Nicodemus when He told him that the only way to truly know God was through an experience of becoming born again. The
number one thing that sets Christianity apart from religion is this the born again experience. We don't just have a different doctrine than the others. We have been born from above. We have Jesus Himself living in our hearts. Christianity is a relationship, not a religion. We truly fellowship with God as our father. A man with a born again experience is never at a loss when confronted by a man with an argument. ***
Matthew 6:28-33 (NKJV)
28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not[a]arrayed like one of these.30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.33 Butseek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Some neighbors might share sugar, but Mister Rogers shared lessons on kindness. America’s favorite neighbor was known for teaching children and adults alike the importance of helping one another and loving yourself on his television series Mister Rogers‘ Neighborhood.
Oscar winner Tom Hanksportrays the beloved cardigan-wearing Fred Rogers in the biopic A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Ahead of the film’s Nov. 22 release, we are taking a look at some of the late TV personality’s inspiring words. If you want to make your day beautiful, these over 50 quotes from Mister Rogers will do just that.
“All of us, at some time or other, need help. Whether we’re giving or receiving help, each one of us has something valuable to bring to this world. That’s one of the things that connects us as neighbors—in our own way, each one of us is a giver and a receiver.”
“Nobody else can live the life you live.”
“Anyone who does anything to help a child in his life is a hero.”
“We speak with more than our mouths. We listen with more than our ears.”
“You are special. You’re special to me. There’s only one in this wonderful world.”
“In a way, you’ve already won in this world because you’re the only one who can be you.”
“As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has or ever will have something inside that is unique to all time. It’s our job to encourage each other to discover that uniqueness and to provide ways of developing its expression.”
“You can’t really love someone else unless you really love yourself first.”
“When we love a person, we accept him or her exactly as is: the lovely with the unlovely, the strong with the fearful, the true mixed in with the facade, and of course, the only way we can do it is by accepting ourselves that way.”
“I’m proud of you for the times you came in second, or third, or fourth, but what you did was the best you had ever done.”
“We get so wrapped up in numbers in our society. The most important thing is that we are able to be one-to-one, you and I with each other at the moment. If we can be present to the moment with the person that we happen to be with, that’s what’s important.”
“Who we are in the present includes who we were in the past.”
“It’s good to be curious about many things.”
“Often out of periods of losing come the greatest strivings toward a new winning streak.”
“It’s the people we love the most who can make us feel the gladdest…and the maddest! Love and anger are such a puzzle!”
“Whatever we choose to imagine can be as private as we want it to be. Nobody knows what you’re thinking or feeling unless you share it.”
“Who you are inside is what helps you make and do everything in life.”
“Listening is where love begins: listening to ourselves and then to our neighbors.”
“Often, problems are knots with many strands, and looking at those strands can make a problem seem different.”
“When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting and less scary.”
“There are times when explanations, no matter how reasonable, just don’t seem to help.”
“Feeling good about ourselves is essential in our being able to love others.”
“Even though no human being is perfect, we always have the chance to bring what’s unique about us to life in a redeeming way.”
“Discovering the truth about ourselves is a lifetime’s work, but it’s worth the effort.”
“The world needs a sense of worth, and it will achieve it only by its people feeling that they are worthwhile.”
“Imagining something may be the first step in making it happen, but it takes the real time and real efforts of real people to learn things, make things, turn thoughts into deeds or visions into inventions.”
“There are three ways to ultimate success: The first way is to be kind. The second way is to be kind. The third way is to be kind.”
“Forgiveness is a strange thing. It can sometimes be easier to forgive our enemies than our friends. It can be hardest of all to forgive people we love. Like all of life’s important coping skills, the ability to forgive and the capacity to let go of resentments most likely take root very early in our lives.”
“How many times have you noticed that it’s the little quiet moments in the midst of life that seem to give the rest extra-special meaning?”
“I don’t think anyone can grow unless he’s loved exactly as he is now, appreciated for what he is rather than what he will be.”
“I hope you’re proud of yourself for the times you’ve said ‘yes,’ when all it meant was extra work for you and was seemingly helpful only to someone else.”
“If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.”
“In times of stress, the best thing we can do for each other is to listen with our ears and our hearts and to be assured that our questions are just as important as our answers.”
“I feel so strongly that deep and simple is far more essential than shallow and complex.”
“We all have different gifts, so we all have different ways of saying to the world who we are.”
“Fame is a four-letter word; and like ‘tape’ or ‘zoom’ or ‘face’ or ‘pain’ or ‘life’ or ‘love,’ what ultimately matters is what we do with it.”
“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'”
“Everyone longs to be loved. And the greatest thing we can do is to let people know that they are loved and capable of loving.”
“Love isn’t a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like struggle. To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now.”
“The media shows the tiniest percentage of what people do. There are millions and millions of people doing wonderful things all over the world, and they’re generally not the ones being touted in the news.”
“The only thing evil can’t stand is forgiveness.”
“Taking care is one way to show your love. Another way is letting people take good care of you when you need it.”
“Mutual caring relationships require kindness and patience, tolerance, optimism, joy in the other’s achievements, confidence in oneself, and the ability to give without undue thought of gain.”
“The thing I remember best about successful people I’ve met all through the years is their obvious delight in what they’re doing and it seems to have very little to do with worldly success. They just love what they’re doing, and they love it in front of others.”
“It’s not the honors and the prizes and the fancy outsides of life which ultimately nourish our souls. It’s the knowing that we can be trusted, that we never have to fear the truth, that the bedrock of our very being is good stuff.”
“It’s not so much what we have in this life that matters. It’s what we do with what we have.”
“Often when you think you’re at the end of something, you’re at the beginning of something else.”
“It’s really easy to fall into the trap of believing that what we do is more important than what we are. Of course, it’s the opposite that’s true: What we are ultimately determines what we do!”
“Try your best to make goodness attractive. That’s one of the toughest assignments you’ll ever be given.”
“Love and trust, in the space between what’s said and what’s heard in our life, can make all the difference in this world.”
“Our society is much more interested in information than wonder, in noise rather than silence…And I feel that we need a lot more wonder and a lot more silence in our lives”
“You can think about things and make believe. All you have to do is think and they’ll grow.”
“You rarely have time for everything you want in this life, so you need to make choices. And hopefully your choices can come from a deep sense of who you are.”
“There’s a part of all of us that longs to know that even what’s weakest about us is still redeemable and can ultimately count for something good.”
“Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people.
“Little by little we human beings are confronted with situations that give us more and more clues that we are not perfect. “
“Love and success, always in that order. It’s that simple AND that difficult.”
“Love is like infinity: You can’t have more or less infinity, and you can’t compare two things to see if they’re ‘equally infinite.’ Infinity just is, and that’s the way I think love is, too.”
“Real strength has to do with helping others.”
“Some days, doing ‘the best we can’ may still fall short of what we would like to be able to do, but life isn’t perfect on any front and doing what we can with what we have is the most we should expect of ourselves or anyone else.”
“There’s a world of difference between insisting on someone’s doing something and establishing an atmosphere in which that person can grow into wanting to do it.”
“The greatest gift you ever give is your honest self.”
“Imagine what our real neighborhoods would be like if each of us offered, as a matter of course, just one kind word to another person.”
“There is no normal life that is free of pain. It’s the very wrestling with our problems that can be the impetus for our growth.”
