Relishing the effects of witnessing the Union of Marriage, I'm Overjoyed & Happy beyond expression. The Ceremony took place in Las Vegas, Nevada coincidentally the same City & State where I was the Bride of a similar Ceremony 12 years ago this year.
Weddings really do alter the perception of relationships.
Perception is a mind ability therefore prone to abuse & oversight. It is the idea or accumulated defining of information's that lead to labeling or identifying. It's not gospel(a story) but collective reactions to situations that tend to lead toward a certain emotion or circumstance.
The fact that our rapidly evolving(nothing is changing except diapers) society diminishes the union of marriage with hypotheses and heresy's desecrating its value made this union special. The constant changing of what is good amongst society and the world is enough to complicate or confuse one's interpretations and imaging. Your garbage can become my fortune and vice verse.
If The Word of GOD SAYS THAT We Are All CREATED EQUAL, then there is no competition except that of the mind to pose a theory as reality appeasing the creator.
I'm a Recovering sinner taking each day one step at a time & totally believing and trusting IN THE WORD OF GOD Which Happens To Be Transforming My Mind into an arena of Happiness & Peace that has never been identified or perceived from any point of my personal views.
I witnessed True Love many years ago through my Uncle & Aunt but from the whispers among the other adults regarding their relationship, I perceived them weak & dumb.
Somehow the violence and incarcerating experiences appealed to my youthful intellect and I pursued that conjured vision in search of love and found more violence and nothing resembling Love. I spent over twenty years back and forth with a man, I felt possessed my future & sustained my world. He committed suicide three years ago this June & I'm surviving by THE GRACE OF GOD because the mentality suffering his loss would destroy me if I let it.
After his death things came out about his persona that are worst than shocking and scarier than roller coasters. It's a good thing the mind can be recomputed and reprogrammed.
Insanity however is null and void because I repeatedly accepted the dramas and breakups expecting a different result each time I found myself in the same situation.
Finally after 21 years of nonsense, I let go & Let GOD and The Rewards have been Worth every tear. I experience Joy unspeakable because it races through my bones & empties into My Spirit so Quick by the time I find words to Express that It has Swooped Me Up and Carried Me into THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD and I'm Really at a Lost for Expressing This Except to say Awesome!!!
I Chase the Joy OF THE PRESENCE OF GOD and utilize criticism and tests of My Character toward Meeting GOD SMILING ON JUDGMENT DAY. It Makes Life Easy. I Constant Remind Myself THAT JESUS WAS TRULY INNOCENT & Did Not Deserve What happened to HIM but Endured insults, temptation and death to Allow Me The Opportunity To recognize my sins & Return TO GOD With An Open Heart & Willing Mind.
My current Marriage has its ups and downs which we weather together by the end of every day As GOD Ordained(Ephesians 04:26).
Today's society with its supposed "equal rights" attitude toward the union of marriage has mocked it's substance and altered its strength.
It was a joy for me to hear of the decision for a youthful couple to join together in "Holy Matrimony" due to the collapse of its initial values.
Having been married but refused to parent would say I've not lived up to the purpose of marriage-procreation but I could argue that my existence in other families assist in that area by support on one level or another. I mean I've experienced every dimension of parenthood except conception & delivery but paid the bills even through college & assisted in character building have 3 god-children and a multitude of cousins supported through the years. It was a pleasure participating in the ceremonies as I've never had that experience assisting a Bride.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. This article is about the participants in a wedding ceremony. Wedding ceremony participants, also referred to as the wedding party are the people that participate directly in the wedding ceremony itself.
Depending on the location, religion, and style of the wedding, this group may include only the individual people that are marrying, or it may include one or more brides, grooms (or bridegrooms), maids of honor, bridesmaids, best men, groomsmen, flower girls, page boys and ring bearers.
A woman's bridal party consists of only those on her side of the wedding party. Those on a groom's side are called his groom's party.
A bride is a woman about to be married or newly-wed.
The word may come from the Teutonic word for "cooking". In Western culture, a bride may be attended by one or more bridesmaids or maids of honor.
Her partner, who becomes her spouse after the wedding, is referred to as the bridegroom (or groom) if male. For first marriages in Western countries, a white wedding dress is usually worn, a tradition started by Queen Victoria's wedding. Through the earlier parts of the 20th century, Western etiquette prescribed that a white dress should not be worn for subsequent marriages, since the wearing of white was mistakenly regarded by some as an ancient symbol of virginity, despite the fact that wearing white is a fairly recent development in wedding traditions. Today, Western brides frequently wear white, cream, or ivory dresses for any number of marriages; the color of the dress is not a comment on the bride's sexual history. White wedding dresses are uncommon in Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese traditions, because white is the color of mourning and death in those cultures.
In addition to the gown, the bride often wears a veil and carries a bouquet of flowers, a small heirloom such as a lucky coin, a prayer book, or other token. In Western countries, the bride may wear “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue”; a bridal purse (or money bag) is also common.
My cousin wore a candy apple red gown that looked as though she was about to Accept an Award at the Academy's. She was Adorable with her Vail which was white that trimmed in Satan red and tiara. It was a Wonderful experience and I couldn't help but revisit pasts times and opportunities ignored due to grudges and collected animosities. I've Experienced Forgiveness FROM GOD & am Enjoying The Benefits of Serenity therefore I'm certain it can be obtained in every other relationship If I approach them with humility(denying evil) & Forgiveness(letting go) even if no one has apologized, I take the initiative to Execute Love & Peace its a far greater feeling than the heart racing mind boggling resentments and hurts.
Forgiveness from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forgiveness is typically defined as the process of concluding resentment, indignation or anger as a result of a perceived offense, difference or mistake, and/or ceasing to demand punishment or restitution. The Oxford English Dictionary defines forgiveness as 'to grant free pardon and to give up all claim on account of an offense or debt'. The concept and benefits of forgiveness have been explored in religious thought, the social sciences and medicine. Forgiveness may be considered simply in terms of the person who forgives including forgiving themselves, in terms of the person forgiven and/or in terms of the relationship between the forgiver and the person forgiven. In some contexts, forgiveness may be granted without any expectation of restorative justice, and without any response on the part of the offender (for example, one may forgive a person who is incommunicado or dead). In practical terms, it may be necessary for the offender to offer some form of acknowledgment, apology, and/or restitution, or even just ask for forgiveness, in order for the wronged person to believe himself able to forgive. Dr. Robert Enright from the University of Wisconsin–Madison founded the International Forgiveness Institute and is considered the initiator of forgiveness studies. He developed a 20-Step Process Model of Forgiveness.[3] Recent work has focused on what kind of person is more likely to be forgiving. A longitudinal study showed that people who were generally more neurotic, angry and hostile in life were less likely to forgive another person even after a long time had passed. Specifically, these people were more likely to still avoid their transgressor and want to enact revenge upon them four and a half years after the transgression.
Adjusting to My Renewed Spirit I often revert to my former familiarities & find My Spirit saddened by my refusal To Change & Accept It's Benefits while letting go of bitterness & it's evil components of animosity or hatred.
Simple things can lead to long periods of disdained treatments and repeated apologies when Not Focused ON THE HAND OF GOD GUIDING You towards Deliverance & Healing.I've found that I've often complicated simple matters attempting to get the best reaction or compiled words to caress an ego out of The Will of GOD.
Now That I'm Exercising Waiting On THE LORD & Trusting In HIS PURPOSE'S, Joy and Happiness Highlight every moment I spend in the company of anyone Witnessing My Behavior & possibly Choosing to duplicate the Character I've Projected Hopefully IN THE LIKENESS & FULLNESS OF GOD. Without GOD I Honestly Would be Like a Ship without a Sail, and that's just lost & tossed. I'm Seeking GOD'S APPROVAL & EXPECTING HIS RETURN To RECEIVE My Results. I'm no longer living to get trinkets that fade or words that dissipate to build My Esteem, For I Am that GOD HAS CALLED Me to be and that's enough. I've shed the arrogance(ignorance in disguise of good) and destroyed the lies(self perceived critisms and acknowledgements). Understanding that my own flesh is at constant war against My Spirit FROM GOD. The flesh is the dust of the ground that GOD CHOSE TO FORM Us In HIS LIKENESS TO HOUSE THE SPIRIT HE BREATHED INTO Our Nostrils & Rendering Us Life. I Inventory My behavior and adjust It According to the Spirit of GOD & IT'S ATTRIBUTES: Joy, Peace, Long-suffering, Gentleness, Meekness, Goodness, Temperance & Love. Adorned with The Gifts of THE HOLY SPIRIT; Administration, Diversities of Operations(multi-tasking) Word Of Wisdom(Only Comes From GOD), Healing(Repairing, Restoring), Working of Miracles(Doing The Impossible), Prophecy(Speaking GOD'S PLANS) Discerning of Spirits(Tested) Various kinds of Tongues(Can Communicate With Any1) Interpretations of Tongues(Understanding Any1). With These In Motion though sin is present it's power is Defeated by My relentless Empowering OF THE SPIRIT & WILL OF GOD. An Example of the mind playing tricks on importance is shown in Martha's complaint to JESUS about Mary's Hunger To Be In HIS PRESENCE & Obtaining Wisdom food for the Soul rather than stressing about presentation of food for the flesh. "Lord don't you care that my sister has left me 2 do the work by myself? Tell her 2 help me! Luke 10:40 Martha took her complaint about her sister(Mary) directly 2 Jesus. Is sum1 in ur life causing u trouble a daughter, mother, coworker sister in Faith even a rival(enemy)? Rather than expressing ur grievance 2 Any1 who will listen, Take Your Complaint Directly 2 GOD. Tell HIM EVERYTHING that's bothering You. Ask HIM 2 GIVE You Understanding about how 2 Respond(not react) 2 this Person, even if It Means that You, not them R the 1 Who Needs 2 Change from Women of The Bible by Ann Spangler & Jean E. Syswerda
Prayer:FATHER YOU KNOW how difficult it is 4 Me 2 Relate 2..,Please Help Me 2 Know ? YOU(GOD) THINK of our difficulties. I Ask YOU 4 The GRACE 2 Let Go Of My Own Sense of hurt & grievance. If YOU WANT Me 2 Do Anything at All 2 Try 2 Improve the situation, Make Me Sensitive & Obedient 2 YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS, Amen...then Exhale & Live!

wonder why youth are not priority?
It's "Easter Sunday" I prefer to refer to it as Resurrection Day if I must call it anything other than Sunday, April 04, 2010. It's 11:37a.m. slightly before noon. The time back on this Day we Celebrate "bunnies, eggs, jelly-beans, & marsh mellow rabbits" went totally dark.
JESUS handed over to Pontius Pilate: Luke 23:01-55..,
I Appreciate Luke's version because he had no ulterior motive but to Confirm THAT CHRIST HAD INDEED RISEN & RESCUED Mankind from ETERNAL DEATH(the 2nd death is FINAL).
He was Not a Disciple of CHRIST(directly) but Converted After Resurrection Day.
Then Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people, said to them, "You have brought this Man to me, as one who misleads the people.
And indeed, having examined Him in your presence, I have found No fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him; no, Neither did Herod, for I sent you back to him; and indeed Nothing Deserving of death has been Done by Him.
I Will therefore chastise(why said he was innocent?) & release Him."
And they all cried out at once, saying, "Away with this Man, and release to us Barabbas" who had been thrown into prison for a certain rebellion made in the city, and for murder.
Pilate, therefore, wishing to Release JESUS, again called out to them.
But they shouted, saying, "Crucify Him, crucify him!"
Then he(Pilate) said to them the 3rd time, "Why, what evil has He Done?"
I have found No reason for death in Him. I Will therefore chastise Him and let Him Go."
But they were insistent, demanding with loud voices that He be crucified. And the voices of these men prevailed.
So Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they requested. And he released to them the one they requested, who for rebellion & murder had been thrown into prison; but he delivered JESUS to their will.
Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, "If you are the Christ, save Yourself and us."
But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, "Do you Not even fear GOD, seeing you are under the same condemnation? And we indeed Justly, for we Receive the due reward of our deeds, But This Man Has Done Nothing wrong."
Then he said to JESUS, "LORD, REMEMBER me when YOU COME INTO YOUR KINGDOM."
And JESUS SAID TO Him, "ASSUREDLY, I SAY TO You TODAY YOU WILL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE."
Now it was about the 6th hour, and There WAS DARKNESS OVER ALL THE EARTH UNTIL the 9th hour. Then the sun was darkened(Obscured), and THE VEIL OF THE TEMPLE WAS TORN IN TWO. AND WHEN JESUS HAD CRIED OUT WITH A LOUD VOICE, HE SAID, 'FATHER, INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMIT MY SPIRIT.' "
Having said this, HE BREATHED HIS LAST.
So when the centurion(slave whom they demanded to carry the cross after JESUS FELL with it) saw What Had Happened, He Glorified GOD, Saying,
"Certainly THIS WAS A RIGHTEOUS MAN!"
I had to go a little further back to show the trial that led up to this supposed sentencing. Two individual & capable kings deemed JESUS Innocent but the religious zealots fought for His crucifixion because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS Outweighed theirs & HIS LOVE Outgrew theirs last but Certainly not least HIS FAITH WAS STRONGER than theirs.
See JESUS' crucifixion & Joseph's sold to Egyptians Reversed the curses meant for them by zealots & Ushered REDEMPTION For Many Nations UNDER GOD Indivisible With Liberty & JUSTICE For All.(wasn't that part of the pledge of allegiance? funny lol)
Seriously accusations, false-testimonies & ridicule are all tools to the enemy of GOD & HIS SPIRIT WHICH DWELLS WITHIN The Hearts Of Those That Trust & Obey THE WORD OF GOD COMPLETELY.
What evil meant for harm GOD TURNED INTO SOMETHING GOOD FOR EVERYONE(Romans 08:28), JESUS WAS RAISED TO LIFE(Acts 02:22-39) & EXALTED ABOVE ALL OTHERS(Matthew 23:12 & Acts 05:31-32), & We Received Eligibility TO BE JOINT HEIRS WITH CHRIST IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD(Romans 08:17).
With this Realization why then are not GOD'S PEOPLE WALKING IN THE FULLNESS JESUS PROMISED AS HE ASCENDED UP TO HEAVEN(Acts 03:13)?
Or the Apostle Paul's Faith & Courage after seeing his future in prison(Acts 20:17-35).
I'm Attempting To Motivate Each Of Us To Do That GOD HAS GIVEN Us Faith, Knowledge, Tools & Strength To Accomplish toward Building New Life on Earth as We Await HIS RETURN. Of Course we can only do so much for with man not all things are possible but with GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO THEM Who Believe.
The Children of our society have long been clouded with business not necessarily beneficial to all though temporarily rewarding to others. The Family began to fall apart in America when the government decided to offer a few pennies to women having babies outside of wedlock(marriage) and needing financial assistance to make ends meet.
They offered food stamps and supplemental foods(cheese(gov. issued), milk(powdered), & hot-cereal(farina) as long as there was no Man of the house or father in the house.
Why couldn't they offer assistance to the family as a whole to learn to budget and survive together rather than driving a wedge that eventually lead to a so-called independence by forcing mothers into the work force to keep up with the Jone's or the Smith's.
That supposed help issued a false sense of security to desperate families lacking guidance & nurturing. Presenting today's society where Everyone must work even the children to meet the bare necessities let alone amenities & frequent flier miles.
The Consistent need for governments to monopolize on supply and demand to increase riches vicariously leads all to a lonely road of guilt, regret and shame.
They make deals with companies for profit aware of certain dangers, they invade countries and cause senseless killings worldwide to gain popularity or praise for showmanship.
Then they lead the world into a crisis of financial instability and blame all that were deceived by their lies and hoping for equality, justice & prosperity for all.
It angers me when I watch programs via The History channel or A & E and the government has experimented with something or other and created a disease they can't control or an epidemic(heroine, L.S.D., smoking tobacco, spray paint, crack, methamphetamine etc.) supposedly developed to control enemies. Well that certainly backfired and communities are overwhelmed with products of that development or lack of I should say.
The sixties bought war & heroine the seventies economics & marijuana the eighties disco, freebase(pure cocaine) and crack(synthetic-cocaine).
The crack epidemic has destroyed even further the families and communities far worse than welfare which now funds the crack operations and sells because most communities where welfare is issued don't even have grocery stores for the funds allocated toward food & necessities.
Many years ago there was a vote to have the "lotto" played in California to allocate extra funds towards higher Education. Um. They are considering omitting the 12th grade & have deleted many creative activities or physical educations programs due to bad budgeting. What are the youth suppose to do after school? With even parks being closed due to inflation?
The Churches either don't know don't show or don't care about what's going on in the hood. When will we realize our future is being born now and now was our future then?
I recently posted on facebook a network station that connects & distributes Internet comments.

I noticed not one individual offered help or solutions but all will make derogatory statements & insults toward each other & decimate characters of one another but not offer solutions.
That is a sad thought to think but when it's realized by actions it's even sadder.

I Matured when I discovered Love & Happiness
Embracing Life as a GIFT FROM GOD THE CREATOR FOR The Experience & Understanding OF GOD'S WILL & LOVE, I find that I've Matured Recognizing the difference between Importance & non importance. The Best Things in Life Are GOD'S.
It's not the designer labels or architectural structures developed out of GOD'S CREATION therefore Not Invented or Created but Utilized by us not the other way around.
I myself followed the traditions of Mankind and developed all sort of psychological misinterpretations regarding Life & Learning.
Time & Experience has offered me a smorges bord of emotions and assumptions that tainted the finality of many relationships throughout history.
I've come to know that Knowledge of Good & evil were inherited from Adam & Eve's failure to Obey GOD. There is no formula just time and observation of reality as it unfolds and manifests. I have knowledge of things I've never seen, touched or smelled. I've experienced things that were not a part of my agenda but somehow I was permitted to obtain information pertinent to future or past realizations of life. These spontaneous revelations offered me a canvas to recreate, research and development former findings with comparisons.
I began reIntroducing myself to me. I somehow lost the foundation of my characterization and became this angry malicious judge and punisher of myself and society. I fell from GRACE and delved head first into idiocracy and redundant behaviors that abused knowledge and time.
Time is the expansion(unfolding) of canvas between GOD & Mankind. It's a blank sheet that collects the inner thoughts and duplicates them into existence or reality(manifest). We Are pro-Creators and story-tellers. "In The Beginning" heads the Story of Creation in the book of Genesis it also Confirms John's tale in 1 John 01:01-10 of JESUS CHRIST MANIFEST. Observe the mention in John echoes and explains Genesis 01:01-03:24, it was times that offered Clarity of Isaiah 07:14/08:08(Prophecy of CHRIST) manifested in Matthew 01:18-02:04. WONDERFULLY & FEARFULLY MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD and Man(through Mary) but WITH TOTAL OBEDIENCE & HUMBLE WILL TO OBSERVE GOD'S PRESENCE & PURPOSE. JESUS DID not have to Obey, just like Adam & Eve HE WAS GIVEN CHOICE & HE CHOSE TO OBEY GOD TOTALLY EVEN TO SACRIFICING HIS LIFE TO RECOVER THE RELATIONSHIP Adam/Eve destroyed between GOD & Mankind.
Had HE opted to disobey this world would have been like the scene from Madison's Square Garden in New York from the movie " Little Nicky". There would not be any good anywhere. In fact GOD WOULD HAVE DESTROYED this World just like the two times before. Well the Bible does say "The earth was without form(Genesis 01:01/Jeremiah 04:23)" this was pre Adam 7 Eve perhaps right after GOD KICKED Satan out of HEAVEN & He Reached back and stole 1/3 of THE ANGELS as P.O.W.'s of a BATTLE BETWEEN GOD & Satan(don't usually like capitalizing his name but that is predjudice I Must Obey GOD FULLY & Do Unto Others as I would Have Others Do Unto Me. He Is the Original spirit-GOD'S AUTHORITY INFINITE(his ability limited by our Choice). He despises Us due to GOD'S LOVE FOR Us IN SPITE OF his lies and efforts to deprive Us of JOY & HAPPINESS. That would have to be evil to despise GOD'S AUTHORITY and hate Joy & Happiness. Don't mess with My Happiness... Oh, yeah like Cat Williams stated regarding self-esteem, "it's Esteem of Yourself." well Happiness is "Esteem of Yourself". It's a derivative of Your Decisions & Implementions of activities(busy-body) and or non activity(lazy). It would appear that there's just busy or lazy right?

If We Align Ourselves With GOD'S PURPOSE & TRUST HIS UNDERSTANDING Happiness is Attained with The Confidence That HE IS WORKING ON My Behalf(Romans 08:28-39).

The Happiness Quiz Your score = 76
What does your score mean?
Your score indicates that you are quite happy with your life. Even if it didn’t turn out exactly how you pictured it would, there are likely very few things you’d change – or regret doing! Research has shown that people who set challenging (but achievable) personal goals for themselves, who are intrinsically motivated (e.g. driven by a sense of achievement rather than money or status), and who generally believe that the course of their life is in their hands tend to be much happier than those who don’t. Of course, a positive outlook on life definitely helps as well!
That should Serve as Proof of My Contentment Training because I'm still a Work In Progression of My Faith & Trust In ALMIGHTY GOD. Bound to error but not a slave of sin to wallow in the muck and mire of filth and degradation. Ugh... That was once an appealing concept. Praise GOD FOR SALVATION & HIS COVERING of my stupidity & self-deprivation.
I was Excited to see the Benefits of My Labors FOR THE KINGDOM OF CHRIST, It's Not Easy killing your flesh to Permit GOD'S SPIRIT To CONTROL your out of control tendencies. It Is However, Worth The Rewards of Happiness, Joy & PEACE. Oooh This Joy, & Peace Defintely Surpasses anything I could conjure as theory & my imagination Needed JESUS' LOVE.

Choosing is a process of Gathering information(collected experiences of knowledge) then executing various findings to increase the level of knowledge toward the REWARDING OF WISDOM FROM GOD WHO ISSUES GIFTS ACCORDING TO Our Faith.
Live love & Laugh but Choose To Be Happy In Everything & Everything Will Be happy too.
It's not the designer labels or architectural structures developed out of GOD'S CREATION therefore Not Invented or Created but Utilized by us not the other way around.
I myself followed the traditions of Mankind and developed all sort of psychological misinterpretations regarding Life & Learning.
Time & Experience has offered me a smorges bord of emotions and assumptions that tainted the finality of many relationships throughout history.
I've come to know that Knowledge of Good & evil were inherited from Adam & Eve's failure to Obey GOD. There is no formula just time and observation of reality as it unfolds and manifests. I have knowledge of things I've never seen, touched or smelled. I've experienced things that were not a part of my agenda but somehow I was permitted to obtain information pertinent to future or past realizations of life. These spontaneous revelations offered me a canvas to recreate, research and development former findings with comparisons.
I began reIntroducing myself to me. I somehow lost the foundation of my characterization and became this angry malicious judge and punisher of myself and society. I fell from GRACE and delved head first into idiocracy and redundant behaviors that abused knowledge and time.
Time is the expansion(unfolding) of canvas between GOD & Mankind. It's a blank sheet that collects the inner thoughts and duplicates them into existence or reality(manifest). We Are pro-Creators and story-tellers. "In The Beginning" heads the Story of Creation in the book of Genesis it also Confirms John's tale in 1 John 01:01-10 of JESUS CHRIST MANIFEST. Observe the mention in John echoes and explains Genesis 01:01-03:24, it was times that offered Clarity of Isaiah 07:14/08:08(Prophecy of CHRIST) manifested in Matthew 01:18-02:04. WONDERFULLY & FEARFULLY MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD and Man(through Mary) but WITH TOTAL OBEDIENCE & HUMBLE WILL TO OBSERVE GOD'S PRESENCE & PURPOSE. JESUS DID not have to Obey, just like Adam & Eve HE WAS GIVEN CHOICE & HE CHOSE TO OBEY GOD TOTALLY EVEN TO SACRIFICING HIS LIFE TO RECOVER THE RELATIONSHIP Adam/Eve destroyed between GOD & Mankind.
Had HE opted to disobey this world would have been like the scene from Madison's Square Garden in New York from the movie " Little Nicky". There would not be any good anywhere. In fact GOD WOULD HAVE DESTROYED this World just like the two times before. Well the Bible does say "The earth was without form(Genesis 01:01/Jeremiah 04:23)" this was pre Adam 7 Eve perhaps right after GOD KICKED Satan out of HEAVEN & He Reached back and stole 1/3 of THE ANGELS as P.O.W.'s of a BATTLE BETWEEN GOD & Satan(don't usually like capitalizing his name but that is predjudice I Must Obey GOD FULLY & Do Unto Others as I would Have Others Do Unto Me. He Is the Original spirit-GOD'S AUTHORITY INFINITE(his ability limited by our Choice). He despises Us due to GOD'S LOVE FOR Us IN SPITE OF his lies and efforts to deprive Us of JOY & HAPPINESS. That would have to be evil to despise GOD'S AUTHORITY and hate Joy & Happiness. Don't mess with My Happiness... Oh, yeah like Cat Williams stated regarding self-esteem, "it's Esteem of Yourself." well Happiness is "Esteem of Yourself". It's a derivative of Your Decisions & Implementions of activities(busy-body) and or non activity(lazy). It would appear that there's just busy or lazy right?
