That's the message? There was no story needed for this or all the posting about his past. There is more to this story, else why go to these lengths for a simple message?
NN has stated other things in previous posts, it's how he arrived at his thoughts that interest me.

Exacly!!!!!! He put me in the perfect place at the perfect time because I was the perfect soul to write the story. You see, when he came to me and asked, who are you? I aswered. I am nobody. And in being nobody I was the everything for this situation. That is how he moves. In perfection. He doesn't move in mysterious ways unless you think it is mysterious. If you know him, he is perfect. And when he needs you. He will come. Not to the perfect person, for I am not. I was only in the perfect place, at the perfect time, to do my deed. So the deed had to be perfect, because he is.

Who told you this LIE?
How can you be imperfect being part of a perfect whole?
YOU are perfect!
How can you not see this?
How can you then see anyone else as perfect and love them so?

You do not need to go anywhere to search for the creator. He doesn't reside at one place at one time. You need only to look within yourself for him. This is why meditation is so important. He is EVERYWHERE.

To me.

I am one of THE MOST imperfect people there are, and he still loves me...
Any prayer of totally need, or desperation, or help, or calming, and he answers every time, the most loyal love there is,
But when I pray or ask for help removing my imperfections, (smoking for example) the answer seems to be either NO, or it dosen't matter.... or I love you anyways.....
I once heard it put like this: go find a baby that you love, or a pet that you love - some real innocent "imperfect" being. Now let's say that the baby barfs all over you or the dog rolls around in dead fish or the cat does that thing where it fluffs up its tail and puts its ears back and gets crazy eyes and runs around the house being crazy and in that time it kinda attacks and ruins your favorite shoes. You get the picture right?
So when this thing that you love does something that isn't ideal, are you like "you imperfect horrible creature, you will die and go to hell forever and ever!!!" No. Well, God sees us like that baby or pet.
There's a difference between imperfection and malice. People who don't know God get a little extra leeway too (see the Noahide laws). But once we proclaim ourselves as followers of Christ there are a few extra rules to follow, like: don't be mean to children in the name of God (the millstone business), if you have an offensive enemy who does not know God you should pray for them so that they can have the same inner peace as you have and then their crappy behavior might change, do not set yourself up as the judge of other people only God is the judge, etc.
I know what you mean though, it's really hard to see ourselves as innocent beings -- its much easier to see it with babies or pets. And its actually good for us to be hard on ourselves, as long as we don't become like abusive parents to ourselves. But for some reason, that baby/pet thing really helps me deal with my own shortcomings.edit on 25-8-2012 by YoungSoul because: improper semicolon use that become wrong but then went unnoticededit on 25-8-2012 by YoungSoul because: forgot to put the conclusion to the baby analogy, so added "God sees us like that baby or pet" in.
