What if Yahweh, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, was a good God?
What if Yahweh, the Creator of Sex and Love, had our best interest at hand?
What is Yahweh, the Creator of You and I, knew what was best for us?
I am thinking it may be about time that I stop associating the pain, hurt, anger, and mistreatment's I have had with other people back on my Creator.
My Creator is the Father who will do whatever it takes to help me reach my best potential, be it successes to rejoice in, failures to learn from, or discpline to redefine my road.
My Creator is the Mother who teaches me I am beautiful, worthy of love, and strong enough to keep going.
My Creator is my Provider who has a plan for success and is just waiting for me to ask what it is.
My Creator is my Lover who wrote the manual for sex and how to have a great marriage.
My Creator is my Friend who will listen to my problems and answer my questions with Wisdom.
Here is my issue. I have seen over and over again how I have placed on my Creator my own perspective of who he is. I have seen others do it as well. Again and again I have placed the failings, misguided attempts, dysfunctions, manipulations, guilt trips, and excuses of other people on to a Perfect and Holy God who knew one day we would spit in his face and blame our painful inadequacy on Him, when he had nothing to with it.
He does not sit up in heaven watching us stumble around in the dark trying to find the light switch, laughing at our short comings. He does not watch as innocent children die and call it his judgement. He did not put the earth on a timer, wind it up, and walk away.
On the contrary. I have found that as I have chosen to not be offended by his ways, he is as close as a whisper, mourning for the loss of the innocent, his heart broken knowing we have no idea what his judgment looks like.
Yahweh does not need me to blog on his behalf for any reason. I will change no one's mind about who he is and what he does. I blog about him for me.
I found out that Yahweh is not who everyone says he is. He is who HE says he is.
For example. My house was recently struck by lightening. Some thought it was God telling us to straighten up, change something, or a punishment. But in the reality of Yahweh, it was his provision. I have lived in the house for close to 20 years and some things were needing to be replaced that we currently didn't have the money for. So, Yahweh the Provider, struck our house with lightening. Soon the things we needed replaced we covered by insurance.
Many, including myself, have portrayed God, Yahweh, as a sayer of nay.
I am here to tell you I was wrong and I need you to forgive me for ever communicating that to you.
There will be things in our lives that are painful and we may never understand. But I can tell you this, Yahweh is here to help you be amazing. successful. smart. beautiful. healthy. hopeful. funny. important. inspiring. truthful. delightful. lovely. life changing.
I have found that if I can hold off being offended by him long enough to actually listen to him, he is really the answer. He has never asked me to change, only to give up the things I never really was. For so long I had indentified with the lies I had come to find who I was in them. But who will know me better then the one who made me.
So if you are angry about some things that church people say, I get it. I was too. But church people are not Yahweh and we need to find out who Yahweh is. There will be some things he will say that we will not like, but maybe we will listen better if we understood that He is truly wanting successful brilliant, life fulfilling destinies for us. Sometimes we will have to say no to ways of life that we thought were ok, because everyone around says it is ok. But maybe, just maybe, our sources have been wrong.
If your computer is not working correctly, you will call the company who made it.
If there is a defect in your furniture you will contact those to designed it.
If the quality of your food is questionable you refer to the one who grew it.
If an concept is weak you ask the one who thought it up.
Obviously what we are doing to make life work here on earth is not working.
I think we got over our offenses and asked for some help.
And who would know better then someone who Created the Ways of Life?
