Blessing College Essays Samples For Students

Life can be considered in two opposite ways: as a gift offered to you, or as a curse imposed on you. The two meaning entangle, like a growing stalk of beans, according to the maturity of your soul, the capacity of your mind, your life experience and the social and family environment that surrounded you while you were growing, like a seed in the womb of life, itself. So, nothing about life is linear. Nothing can be straightforward or clear. Like the two sides of a coin, life plays your fate according to the rhythm of a very subtle dance: gift or curse, curse or ...

Is Love a blessing or a curse?

Why do people die and kill for love? Why can a single feeling be woven by opposites, like happiness and misery, altruism and jealousy, peace and mental chaos? And how can such opposing forces be part of the same feeling, sometimes at the same time? Maybe, just maybe, because when it arrives, it is never announced and does not let you get ready for defense. Love is an invader. It attacks softly, comes disguised, almost unnoticed, and it is usually too late before you realize it invaded, like a virus, all your mental, spiritual and physical being. That is why it ...

If we consider theology as the study of God, or the study of the divine, or the study of the nature of God, then the definition that Mueller puts forth for theology and his justification for taking part in its study make a lot of sense. He breaks down the word into its two Greek roots: theos for “god” and logos for “word” or “understanding” (Mueller 2011, p. 28), and that leaves one with a wide range of possible interpretations. Given that Mueller has an “S.J.” after his name, of course, we must conclude that he will take on ...

Wilt Thou not revive us again?

The concept of revival for the nation of Israel is often uniting once more with their God. Israel is notorious for forgetting the ways of God and following strange gods or falling into sinful ways.

The revival that this verse refers to is on these lines. The nation pleads with God to remember the old covenants to their forefathers in Abraham and Jacob.

In considering the quote from Original Blessing by Matthew Fox, “whether creativity is not tiptoeing through the tulips, or talking of the powers to make a Trident submarine or the nuclear missiles that go on it, creativity is so divine that it is awesome,” and creativity is asking of me to tell mankind that love, and not war, can bring smiles back on the millions of people who die of starvation and sickness.
