Deep Thought indeed

To bounce off of what a friend said, "If God gave you all the knowledge about this life and what it holds, what would you do with it?...
You would be the ultimate psychologist. YOU would know how the human mind works, how everyone will react to any situation, YOU alone could essentially tell the future!

Would you want that? "
There are both advantages and disadvantages to knowing all, just as God does. Yes, it's true, u would know the success or failure of both yourself and everyone else around you, you would know your mate for life, you would know the challeges you would have to face too. Think about that. could you handle it if u knew the challenges you were going to face in life? in my friend's blog he said he would have said no way he didnt think he'd be able to. I'm not sure, myself, whether i'd run away from it or try to conquer it. Try to beat the odds just to prove everyone wrong and to prove to myself i could beat the odds. What would I do if God gave me all the knowledge about this life and what it holds?

I know that if i was given the intellegance, I would try to take all of the burdens of my friends hearts and cast them into a sea. I would be there for them before they knew they needed a friend's shoulder. I would let people make mistakes but also make sure that they learned from them. But then again, that would involve more than just knowledge, all of this, it would also involve all the power that ONLY God posesses.
On the other hand, however, I would be very troubled to know all of the things that people would go through, all the twists and turns and flipflops they would have to face, knowing it would be hard for them. It would be overwhelming to know that people would be lost(although we already know because the bible tells us so), But to know that you can't do anything to stop it, it's their choice to choose which path they want to take.
The only thing to do, is to tell everyone about it, and yet, we can do that know, even without all the knowledge! We know, as christians, that the world is coming to an end and there are poeple to be saved. There have troubled and lost hearts that need a father to rely on; and not just an earthly father. With all the knowledge, what else could we do, that can't be done now? Think about it. God has given us the prophecy and so we really do know whats going to happen although it may not include each individual and who they're soul mate is, or their perfect job, or for school students, their grades, how their going to do on their tests and so on.
As to knowing how the mind workds, and how other people think or what their thinking, that would be kinda of scary. Knowing all their lies or manipulations, not being able to put your trust in them mainly because u know everything, period. Isn't friendship about trust, at least partially? You would know how they would react if u said something, thus leading to you not saying anything in the end sometimes. You would know all the love or hate they have. All the tears they have cried, all the joys they have experienced, you wouldnt even have to ask them, you would just know, just like God DOES.
With all that Knowledge about life and what it holds, what would YOU do with it if God gave it to you? God has a lot to deal with, knowing all about the world, and about us. He knows every tear, and records it, as said in the bible, He knows our troubles, He knows our secrets, our pasts, our hearts, our minds, our thoughts, our sins too. But in the end, he also knows that he will be wiping all those tears away, giving hope. AND HE died on the cross taking all our sins and whatnot with him on it. Such power!!! Such a loving Father. And because he Loves you he had done it. I'm glad he HASN'T given me all the knowledge, that he hasn't burdened me with all the sorrows of this world.
Thought for the night. G'night!
