Why Not God
First things first; Do you believe in God and if you don’t why not? Believing in nothing remember, is still believing in something. I first met God face to face shortly following the day my son died. Don’t misunderstand me, I knew Him and Her prior to that horrific day but this was a face to face meeting to be sure. This book is about the days that followed that historic moment in my life and what God has taught me since then. Our lives are not mere coincidence or for some bumper car life-like experience either. God has a purpose for our experience believe it or not and trust me when I tell you this one; it’s not just about suffering through one failed attempt at life after another. God has a plan and we just happen to struggle against that plan because of our own stubbornistic, prideful, slumbering, self induced states of mind. I know this is much to take in but famous last words often begin with I didn’t or I wasn’t, blah, blah, blah. It never fails for us to climb on the, but where was God when this happened or why didn’t God stop that, ban wagon? Why didn’t we? Why haven’t we put an end to war and famine? Why do we allow the endless religious differences to make anti-Christ’s out of the lot of us? If you don’t know God it’s your own fault so knock it off. And if there is any blame to be placed go to the mirror and look into it I dare say you’ll love what’s staring back at you and if you do then well that’s just God isn’t it? Relationships are about time and time is about work and work is about joy and joy is about relationship. God is indeed this ever evolving, growing interpersonal being in our lives. He asks us to be better in a way that is easy and challenging because of effort. Lazy is not God and if this is your approach to other relationships then your expectations are greater than your efforts. This is hypocrisy at its greatest but that is a subject for another day. Take five minutes today to say hey God its me what’s up start generating interest in the bigger picture, life beyond life.
this is really good. Alot of times I think that when He is calling you to do something greater it's not because were lazy so much as that it isn't our top priority as it should be. yes, I really need to get my life together but I have this job interview and that huge pre cal test blada blada blada. what humanity as a whole needs to do is to get its priorities straight.
