Random Thoughts - Part II

God. So who is God...or what is God? Is God literal or imagined; abstract or concrete; human-like or alien? Does God exist as a person I can talk to or does God exist as a state of being. Can I meet God? Can I be God? Does God have a personality and emotions? If God is a literal being, how does God relate to me - does God love me, hate me, forgive me, punish me, pay attention to me, or ignore me. Does it really even matter? Lots of questions and for many, no obvious answer. I am a Christian, so I see and hear all the time what other Christians are doing and saying. Some live very detached from God, as if God maybe exists but isn't really involved in what is going on in this world. others I see live as if God is a pretext to advance personal agenda, whether it be in family, school, politics, or workplace. As a Christian speaking, it seems that us Christians have totally missed the point of who God intended to be in this world. The Bible says He came to earth to set the captives free, loose the chains of the bound, and spread light on dark places. He left earth after spending a lifetime preaching and LIVING complete SELFLESS LOVE and yet our lives, my life demonstrates something very different. I leave no conclusion, only questions that I hope will rise within your heart to seek and find the God who came in selfless love to demonstrate to the universe His plan for overcoming the powers of darkness and spreading light to EVERYONE regardless of race, religion, or creed.
