In order for your brain to accept its reality, must it also imagine a fantasy? Every morning when you wake up, you make a choice: you can either say, “This is the day the Lord has made,” or curse god for still allowing you to breathe. You see, I don’t go through life waiting for a cure or hoping to hit the jackpot so I can be on ‘Easy Street’. I no longer listen to the liars who tell you that if you pay up and talk yourself into it, you can earn a miracle in your life. The truth is that miracles only occur at birth.
So, what do you do with the gifts you’ve been given? You can either embrace a spirit of gratitude by living as a blessing and accepting that you are a miracle, or you can compare yourself to others whom you perceive to not ‘be lacking’ as much as you, and live as you’re cursed—the devil’s tool of rage.
Every morning I wake up with photophobia in my eye, pain in my knee, neuropathy in my feet, and a thorn in my side. But then I remember—I have parents, siblings, and children I have a burden for. And even though my brain will soon calcify and my strength will eventually wane, I wonder: how are they doing today? Is there any way I can make a difference, brighten their day, help, or encourage them?
Every day is a winding road; sin always gets in the way. Some days you’re glad, other days you’re mad. But you are a miracle—you were built to be a ‘transformer” and hardwired to be an ‘overcomer’. Even if in the eyes of the others—you are barely able to survive, in my eyes you are magnifying your calling. That is my hope, and that is why I am still here. You could say we are higher than the angels because we were created to love.
I’m conscious of the fact that this earth will soon blow away. I accept that if you are dead to sin, only Jesus can revive you. But I don’t believe my brain can handle that type of rejection, so I will keep on trying—trying to make it better for you, somehow, someway.

There once was a soul who each dawn would rise,
Choosing gratitude, despite life’s compromise;
With a thorn in his side,
His heart would abide
Saying miracles are born into life—so we must be wise.

Commentary:
When I wake up every morning, I’m faced with a choice. I can either accept the day for what it is, or I can complain about not getting everything I want. In the past, I’ve been guilty of relying on the “just world fallacy” – the idea that the world is a fair and just place, and that bad things only happen to bad people. But the more I learned about philosophy, the more I realized that’s just not true.
I’ve learned about the concept of “learned helplessness,” which occurs when people feel like they have no control over their lives. But I’ve come to realize that I’ve been in control all along – I just needed to stop waiting for someone else to make everything okay. I’ve also learned about the power of “positive self-talk” and how it can affect my mood and behavior.
The truth is, miracles only happen once – at birth. After that, it’s up to us to make the most of what we have. So, what do I do with the gifts I’ve been given? I focus on being grateful for what I have, rather than constantly be wishing for more. I’ve started practicing mindfulness and meditation to help me stay present and focused on what’s truly important.
By letting go of the idea that the world owes me a miracle, I’ve been able to take control of my own happiness. I’ve learned to appreciate the small things in life, like a warm sunrise or spending time with friends and family. And when things don’t go my way, I try to reframe my thinking and look for the lesson or opportunity in the setback.
It’s not always easy, and some days are still tougher than others. But I’m getting better at recognizing the thoughts and behaviors that hold me back, and replacing them with more positive and empowering ones. And that’s a miracle in itself.
“Each of us feels some aspect of the world’s suffering acutely. And we must pay attention. We must act. This little corner of the world is ours to transform. This little corner of the world is ours to save.” ― Stephen Cope

What is the purpose of man?
What’s the reason for being born on this earth? Christians believe that they were in Heaven before they were born and that they will return upon death. Did we come from the spiritual to the physical just to return to the spiritual? All believers know that for the spirit to live, the flesh must die! Wouldn’t it have been much easier to have stayed in Heaven with our Creator and Savior than to live in jeopardy of losing our souls in this wicked world?
Do you believe that we came to this earth to be tested? Do overcoming daily temptations and doing good deeds prove that we are faithful and worthy to return? “What does it profit, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?” (James 2:14). Is all that is needed to profess that we accept the Atonement of Jesus Christ to live in Heaven forever? “For God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves; it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:8-10).
Do you have somebody to love? Are you trying to be lovable? I know this can be difficult, especially for young adults who still haven’t found someone, or for mature adults who never became parents. But there is still time! “For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another” (1 John 3:11).
I believe we were born on this earth to receive a human body. Inside the body is a human heart that has the capacity to love. “The Only Begotten Son, Who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him” (1 John 4:9). I believe that the true test of our earthly existence is whether we will choose to love. I also believe that the reason Jesus came to earth to become our Savior is to show us how to love, for when we love somebody, we give of our physical selves.
Spiritual beings are incapable of expressing affection for someone because they are unable to give of themselves. That is the point of why we had to be born of earthly parents—to receive a human heart—and now all we must do is find somebody to love. “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them” (Ezekiel 36:26-27).
“For just as rain and snow fall from heaven and do not return without watering the earth, making it bud and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat, so My Word that proceeds from My Mouth will not return to Me void, but it will accomplish what I please, and it will prosper where I send it.” (Isaiah 55:10-11)
Does God Exist?
When I read the Bible, it testifies that only Jesus can save a fallen man like me. Even though I do not fully understand the Gospel, my belief is based on my faith that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God.
So the only variable in my testimony is the degree to which I acknowledge that I have sinned and need atonement. However, this is flawed logic because humans are incapable of quantifying how good or depraved they are.
Either the Bible is true, or it is not. I need to be saved, or I do not. It is not possible to be saved a little or too much, because any amount of sin on my part necessitates intervention by A Savior. At the end of the day, the only question I need to answer is whether I am a sinner or if I am still living in denial.
AI Poem Analysis:
In understanding my reality, I recognize that life is a journey of both acceptance and action. Every morning, I face choices: to embrace gratitude and to see myself as a miracle, or to succumb to despair and compare myself to others. Even though I believe that miracles are only confined to the moment of birth—blessings can occur throughout life, often through personal growth, or unexpected grace from followers of Christ.
While our bodies may age and decline, our spirits can remain resilient. Physical limitations may test us, but they do not define us. I choose to focus on the gifts I have been given—my capacity to love, to hope, and to serve. In doing so, I honor the divine within me and others, recognizing that we are called to be blessings in the world.
Every day is a winding road, with sin and suffering along the way. Some days, we celebrate; others, we struggle. But I believe that, with faith and effort, we can overcome obstacles, heal wounds, and transform pain into purpose. Faith is expressed during moments of surrender, forgiveness, or renewed purpose—they are not just past events but ongoing opportunities for charity.
Despite the transient nature of life and the inevitability of aging, I hold onto hope. I believe that through divine grace and personal perseverance, we can make a difference—brightening others’ lives, encouraging hope, and embodying love. We are created to love and to reflect the divine image, higher than angels because of our capacity to choose love over fear.
I am aware that this earth is temporary, and that only through connection with the divine can we find true clarity. I accept that rejection, pain, and loss are part of life, but I refuse to be defeated by them. Instead, I will continue to try—to grow, to help, and to love—trusting that grace is always present, guiding us toward hope and transformation.
