But Where is God?!

By Christine Rose Copyright 2009

Having just read my last entry, I realized that unless one reads very carefully, the answer to Where is God is hard to find.

God is in you.
God is around you.
God is the presence you sense when you feel you are not alone.
God is what is missing when you have lived your life to serve only yourself.
God fills your heart with warmth when you recognize the true importance of love.
God is generated in your life by love, faith and obedience to the highest moral standards.
God pushes you to extremes in order to show you the work you have left to do.
God comforts you when you are at your wits end.
Ask God to take your pain, anxiety, sadness...and it WILL disappear.
God is in the love you offer.
God disappears immediately through hateful actions.
God is knowing you are doing the right thing, all the time and recognizing the empty gut feeling when you have taken steps away from God.

God is NOT a person who acts and reacts as man would.  Man is animal.  Man is physical and instinctive.  Man rarely acts in the best interest of others if it does not also suit him best.

To be Godly one must put others before themselves; to stand for truth and justice even when to do so results in personal pain; to respect ALL life as deserving of equal respect to man; to recognize that ALL life is equally important to God;  to love others no matter who they are, what they believe, or how they live their lives; to offer mercy to offenders; to realize that to think is often contrary to acting in a Godly manner.

Hopefully, by the time the blog is complete, all of these ideals will be easily understood and manifested within you.  Ask God to take you there, ask with a kind and gentle, humble heart, and you will not be denied.

The journey is an exciting ride that never ends......
