Every Individual needs to be very honest and live with the teaching from God and Allah, and Obey not just read God's words

Dear Mohammad: Thank you for your truth and honesty. The conversastions that have went on between us are a testimony for truth, honesty, and following God's principles. I have always been very honest with everyone, and sometimes I guess I am too honest and truthful for some people, who like to blind the world to reality.

Unless people wake up and realize violence, corruption, murder, dishonesty and disobedience toward God are so very wrong, we will continue to have a world in chaos. I have not seen leaders leading either. They are all corrupt and too concerned with power, prestige, and name recognition. Maybe if enough people pray in repentance and start living for God instead of themselves , God will hear us.

I have never seen such hatred and discord among people as I have in this Decade. We may not always like what others do, but it doesn't give us the right to take a life, I think the almighty breathed life into us to live for him and his Kingdom not ourselves. If people would realize their blessings come from God and not their own vanities, I believe their lives would change. Obedience and discipline to God could really turn many lives around, but they have to be willing to admit they were sinners. I always remember reading Pride, arrogance, and a haughty spirit proceed a downfall.

You're right we have got to present good examples for the next generations, because the future is bleak, to those that do not practice good will, and repentance. I surely agree with you about the lawlessness that is going on and it seems to be increasing daily. I asked God along time ago for the wisdom to do the right things, and to help people see the path that results in peace, harmony and prosperity. He has surely given it to me and my family, but its not as easy to convince the non-believers. We surely have to at least plant the seed, and God will make it grow.

Best Wishes for you and your family, Deborah
