We Need Eternity to Tell God

We try in vain to please God. In our simple minds, everything we do may seem a transgression against God. But we cannot always see ourselves wandering from the lighted path that Jesus paved for us. Remember the words of Jesus, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled” Matthew 5:6.

As human beings we are flawed. The see God placed in your mother’s womb and is spiritual perfection come alive; but our society taints us with all of its greed, all of its struggles for power and influence. We forget our source. We are created in love; we are born in love. We are born children of God, and nothing can change this. If we want to please God, we practice on simple thing; we must love. Remember what Jesus teaches: love God, love your neighbor as yourself. Love.

This is our connection with and to God. Perfection is demonstrating our ability to love each other, and God desires nothing but this perfection. Let this eternal truth be in your heart and govern your life. Forgive others for what they may do; see God in their smiling or scowling faces. He’s there; it is up to us to see Him.

We will need forever to try to tell God how awed we are with His Love and His Grace. Is it no wonder that many people who call themselves Christian are leaving churches to commune with God without a clergy that cares more for liturgy that relations with God. Are they, are we, because I am one of them, are we going in the right direction. What we recognize is that the church and our Christian society is more concerned with all else besides God.

We gather together on Sundays to recite by rote the same old passages we were made to memorize as youths, hear a sermon from an over-enthusiast preacher who many times does not act as he preaches, and share a wafer and a sip of wine or grape juice. Then we go home or out for lunch with fellow congregants and forget everything we just professed.

If the church is our Ark, it just sank. The Ark, traditionally our stronghold, our ancient connection to God, has ceased to be a safe refuge for many of us, forcing us to turn inward and recognize that God dwells within us, as Jesus promised. We are relearning the eternal Principles that is God; through our prayers, we understand how the Holy Spirit guides and protects us. God speaks to us directly, without the false prophets of the church.

To tell God how much in awe we are of His Love, we adopt the three values of Jesus, we forgive, we always choose good over evil, and we recognize the flow of Love coming from God, open our hearts to share this with others. When we seem to be at our weakest, we are strong with the Love of God flowing through us. This is how we tell God we Love.
