How do you feel about God?
How do you believe God feels about you?
Have you ever asked yourself these questions?
I have.
For much of my life, I have feared and I have hated God.
What's more, I have always assumed that these feelings were mutual. I never really bought into the idea that God loved me; but then again, maybe that was simply too horrible a thing for me to even try to imagine. After all, God loved Jesus, and just look what happened to him!
I learned early in life to inextricably link pain and suffering with love. As a result the whole God/Jesus thing didn't really appeal to me much. Their love seemed inextricably linked with pain and suffering as well; and as I have later learned, it is, but just not in the way that I had previously believed.
Yeah well, I could ramble on but American Idol begins in about four minutes; and although I'm somewhat loathe to admit it, I am an American Idol fan!
So let me just wrap this whole thing up the same way I began by once again asking:
How do you feel about God?
and,
How do you believe God feels about you?
Don't answer the way you think you should answer. This isn't about how you think you should feel, or what you've been told you should feel. This is about discerning real and meaningful answers to some of mankind's deepest and most abiding questions....
Just think about it.
How do you really feel about God?
Why not begin there?

god, in all forms of glory, is in us & around us at all times, we merely need to open the eyes of our hearts to see...open the ears of our hearts to hear god's voice...open the gate protecting our heart to let god in...
seems so easy when it's written down but the living of being open is hard... knowing this, god's love for us is without limit or constraint.
god knows that we become open in moments, rarely for full lifetimes, and loves us anyway & always
