Oh.....My GOD

Brainwashed. Crazy. I've been called both on several occasions, but God knows me to be neither. I used to be like you, yes YOU.

The person who smirks at the thought of some almighty creator.

The "good person" who validates their disbelief by claiming that if there truly were a God, he wouldn't cast those to hell or welcome them to heaven based on their lack of knowledge.

Or perhaps you've been granted the gift of intelligence and your philosophical approach chains you to your never ending questions, holding you hostage from truth.

And let's not forget about the infamous opt-out, that if there really was a God, then he wouldn't punish you for giving you a brain to question the world through your lens.

So you may be too smart, too ignorant, too resistant, too bombastic to believe in something greater than you. I know I was. But I'm curious to know exactly where you've been, where you're headed, and how you think you're going to get there. That's not up to me though. That's up to the God that I now understand exists in every breath, movement, gesture, thought, relationship and occurrence in my life.

I believe that God speaks to each individual differently. God to me, is not God to you. And who am I to tell you what or who God is? I can only live my life as a reflection of what I see him as. And the more I do so, the more God is revealed to me in mirror images I perceive as friends, family, and coincidences. So if you haven't found God yet, or better yet if you haven't extended your hand in hopes that he'll grasp it tightly and lift you up to surround you with his grace and love, then I'll be praying for you. Once you experience that breath-taking moment, an eternity with God awaits you.
