Man's GodA Story by Loretta EdwardsMan’s God If you were to arrive in heaven today, would you be surprised to find God in bed with a tray of medicine on the night stand beside the bed and a pail close to the bed to catch the contents of an upset stomach? Or maybe you would find God in a dark room fretting and crying over a problem that He can’t solve? Or quaking in fear because He had created a monster He can’t control? How about if you have arrived on a bad day? God is in a rage, stomping about, shouting orders to the angels to destroy this city with a tornado and to flood that one as an ‘act of God’ so that they will know God’s wrath against sin and sinners? I can almost hear you saying, “I won’t dignify that with a comment! It is too foolish to consider!” Then why do we??? We may not think in exactly that fantasy imaginary imagery, but we might as well. Make no mistake about it, we have no clue about what God thinks or how He acts. Worse yet, most of us are not motivated to wonder about such things. We have a living to make, a life to live. We don’t have time for idle speculation. Then let’s stick to the facts! Fact One; God is Spirit. The image of God is Spiritual We think that we are human beings, living in a material world, where bad things happen; until finally we die. Not true at all. We are spiritual beings living in a convenient, useful, recognizable body, infused by God Life. With this mental image of God how can we be sick, angry, alone, afraid, or unhappy; unless the original, God, first showed us how to express these feelings by being sick, angry, alone, afraid and unhappy? We have already agreed how foolish it is to think God could be anything less then God. Can we do what God cannot do? Fact Two: God saw all that He had made and it was good. All of the trials and tribulations on earth are man-made. The race consciousness believes in an evil power and teaches us to fear it. As long as you believe in a power opposed to God you will suffer from that belief. You aren’t being punished by God, it is your belief, encouraged by race consciousness. If it isn’t good it isn’t from God; it doesn’t exist and you can’t suffer from something that doesn’t exist. Fact Three: God is our Father God is our Creator. Therefore God is also our Father-Mother, not a body male and female; but One Spirit loving us unconditionally forever. We are related to God as divine idea in Divine Mind. Nothing but good can happen to the real man that God created. Fact Four: God is the God of the living We think that we live for just so long and then we die. Why? So that we can be with God in heaven? If we could ignore years of man-made belief and realize God is All-in-All filling all time and all space, we would know we are now, right where we are, as close to our Father as we will be in heaven. Why wait? Enjoy His company today. Sickness and evil are an unnecessary experience. Our life depends on what we believe about God. We can ignore learning completely, or think humanly, it won’t upset God. He has all the time in the world. He will wait patiently until you wake up to the perfect spiritual universe of God’s Reality. We are held forever in the Mind of God. 615 words Loretta Ellen Edwards© 2017 Loretta Edwards |
