A New God!
Do you ever feel lost in the desert? Deserted, desolate and lonely. As I have moved from understanding God as a rule maker with a iron fist, to knowing him as a loving God who accepts everyone right where they are at… I feel alone. Our society and our country are so fixated on a God that serves up retribution. A God who thinks like we do and acts like we do. A God who expects that we should do things a certain way or pay the price. A God, who just like us, if you don’t do it his way, he will abandon you like we would. All my life I was raised in a religion that taught our life is sin based. I was told God would burn me in hell if I didn’t say I’m sorry for everything I have done. As God has lead me thru intense study I have come to know him, thru Christ, as just the opposite. As a loving God quick to forgive and constantly in pursuit of his children. A God who says come to me… don’t care what you have done… who you are… what your lifestyle is… you are my child and I love you. Our religions want you to believe just the opposite. As this new way of thinking about God becomes more a part of my life I find very few who view God, as I do. I watch daily as fellow Christians rank sin in an effort to make themselves feel better. Sin is sin and our God radiates unbelievable grace. No matter your lifestyle. I Love You! Perry
