God isn't a big meanie
GOD isn't a big meanie...that's right...yet for my entire life I've been told that if you do this, God will punish you; if you do that you won't go to heaven...Yet, God is loving, God is good. I've always been confused about this message and so are my kids...If God is so good, so ever loving, how can he be such a big meanie? Why would he punish me FOREVER if I do something wrong unless, of course, I seek forgiveness before I die. If that isn't being the biggest meanie, I don't know what is.
I'm now in my forties and I finally understand that God isn't a big meanie...This may not fall in line with a lot of teachings but I no longer believe that I can do something that will make God ban me from Heaven. He is loving and caring; I believe all he cares about is my and your happiness, I don't believe he keeps tabs on our so called sins. I believe our sin, or what we call a sin, is something that we do that doesn't ring true with our own belief system, not something that hurts God. God can't be hurt, God can't be sad. He sees what we do, he feels what we do and he revels in the fact that we are learning....that we are growing...and that every experience we have is something that makes us a better person. A better person in OUR eyes and in the eyes of other, you see in His eyes, we are all already PERFECT. He created us in HIS image and in his resemblance thus in his perfection. We are a reflection of HIS perfect being. A REFLECTION, not a distortion but a reflection. A reflection is a perfect copy of the original and since God is perfect, you and I are perfect - Just the way we are....What we do is perfect to God, just the way we do it.
It feels good to know that I will go and be with God someday, because He does want me there...he has set not condition, no guideline, no if you do this you will if you do that you won't. He want me there...and he wants you to...
Make it a great wonderful day and thank God for everything you see, everything you do, everything that happens to you today. |
