There is only one spirit...we are all a spark from it.  There is an inspiration that says lighting a candle from another, diminishes the original not at all.

The things that enter your life are based on the natural laws in operation.  God does not have an ability to change and/or affect your free will choices (that would be constant and utter miracles all the time).  

If our lives are a mess...clean it up.  If our lives are functioning...don't fix what isn't broken.  If we learn new things, incorporate them in our thinking and living for spiritual understanding and growth.

I try and be openminded to most situations. You are free to your beliefs I feel just as I am as long as we don't harm others with them. I know God is Within me and if you could see what I have been through in my life and how I survived with lil support or guidance. You might think twice about God.  1 can't know the reasons for everything. It is not for us to know. We have free will. That's why so many people in this world choose to go down the wrong path and do wrong. I am more Spiritual than religious and feel my purpose in life is to help others. I am working on volunteering and read in my horoscope today that volunteering can help me in life and lead me further along. I am just like my sign and every job I ever wanted and career were things Virgo are known for. I wanted to work with books, art, and now the mental health system. I am moving like Grandma Moses but life goes on lol. Perhaps if u had more Faith and Positivity you might feel different about questioning if there's a God. He need not explain himself to any of us.

And do not judge others in their lives...they, too, have had their challenges that make them who they are at present.  Working on ourselves is a full time job.  We diminish our potential when we do not focus on this job.

I often refer to God as  The Higher Power because spirituality has many different names for what I feel is God and The Creator of Life.
