India still

India has been quite a trip and experience.
I have never witness such poverty in person.
The people seem to arm themselves with the attitude of Gandhi.
However, God is still missing in their lives.

2 Peter 1
"3His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness..."
After all these year of knowing and living the scriptures, that statement is the absolute truth.
The challenge to that statement is living it out completely. It is not we, as humans on this earth, that is lacking anything when we fall or fall short, but it is based on a decision that which it allows us to put forth the effort to see it through.
Jesus himself went through the same struggle, yet he did not succumb to the temptations of the evil one.

"5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 8For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins."

Because:
10Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, 11and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

To God be the Glory.
