Live for God and realize your true self
Merry Christmas and a blessed new year! !
According to the principles of Abraham Maslow, the master of psychology in the 20th century, there are five levels of human needs: physiological needs, safety and security, love and belonging, self-esteem, and finally self-actualization. Theoretically, if the first four levels of needs are not met, people will feel lacking, and they must have all four to reach the last level. Maslow believes that once people achieve self-realization, they can often and deeply experience love, understanding, happiness, satisfaction, complete self, etc.
Obviously, from the mid-20th century to the present, the education and media sectors have been deeply affected by this, and people have been constantly encouraged to pursue their own ideals, focus on their own feelings, satisfy their own needs, develop their own potential, and hope to eventually become a fully developed person. people. The problem is that although this era provides many opportunities for many people to satisfy the first four levels and pursue self-realization, they have not received the experiences they deserve. There are even many counterexamples that can be found in history. The top writers, scientists, artists, and politicians ended up committing suicide, depression, or destroying others. On the contrary, there are many people who, although not satisfied with the first four levels, have fully reached the state of self-realization, bringing eternal influence and experiencing a life of abundant joy.
God tells us through the Bible that He has a plan for us before we are created. He gives each of us different gifts and talents so that we can complete our mission in the world. In the past few years, I have had the opportunity to visit various places and meet countless Christians. My deepest feeling is that many people do not fully explore and use the gifts and talents given to them by God, and I also see that many gifts and talents are only used to satisfy their personal pursuits.
The Kingdom Resource Center believes that every resource of everyone, whether it is time, money, talents, gifts, intelligence, or wisdom, all belong to Him; in other words, you and I are the resources of the Kingdom of God. We believe that true self-realization is impossible unless we use the talents God originally gifted us to fulfill His plan for our lives. The mission of the Kingdom Resource Center is to use all methods, through various camps, lectures, texts, communications, and ministries, to discover, cultivate, and use personal gifts and talents to expand the kingdom of God.
At the beginning of August this year, we just concluded the writing camp and art camp, leaving us with the experience of various lectures, warm memories, the throbbing of life, the inheritance of visions, and the enlightenment of inspiration and skills. This issue, especially in the "KRC and You" section, records many exciting clips with pictures and texts. Next year (2006) we will also add drama camp and financial management investment camp [see pages 78~79]. We sincerely hope you will join us.
In addition, a special thank you to the many readers who responded [see page 79]. Your encouragement and suggestions are very inspiring to us. We have also received many prayer requests. Your prayer requests have all been mentioned before the Lord for intercession. I believe that God the Father will answer your requests.
Finally, in this festive season of Christmas and New Year, I would like to present this carefully compiled magazine as a gift to you. I hope that you and I can satisfy His purpose, realize our true selves, and live a wonderful and wonderful life. happy.
