The reason why many will not choose God's Love, the higher path, is because they will not submit themselves and therefore become submissive to a higher power.
I see this a lot Dan, whenever I get the chance to speak to someone about spiritual things it doesn't seem to matter where the conversation begins, it always ends up back at the person and the choice about their destiny is there with them in their present.
The messages teach the truth about our relationship with God, what it is, what we must do to realise this and how to make contact with God, also they teach us that no middlemen are needed, nothing that must be done first before we seek God, no emotional cleansing or suffering, we go to God as we are, sinners, because that's what we are whether we admit this or not, we are sinful until we are not and never can be again. This is the humbleness that must be reached, if we go to God telling Him how we want it, it won't work, so as you say we must submit ourselves unto God if we wish to be redeemed from sin and error.
Something to think over, competition, what is it? one side against another? winners and losers?
They say it is a good thing, but is it really? Because if someone is wanting their team or country to win, that means they want the opposition to lose, so where is the love in that? God doesn't take sides and neither should we.
There are many paths that lead to the realization of that little something we must do to gain salvation, but there is only one way to do it, and the messages explain in plain language how this is accomplished.
Love, Peace and Truth to all, Ian
