God...I can't breath...
A curious thing for me, is the fact that we as humans have "A CHOICE!"
Logically, it is easy for me to then say, choice is by design. Choice is built-in to rules of the game, "The Game of Life!"
If choice is an absolute then how can some people stand on God's name or "the word of Jesus" until those in their life feel they can no longer breath.
The only thing you can say or do must be what they "PERCEIVE" to God/Jesus like. If you do not agree with their interpretation then "YOU" are wrong.
The bible, to my way of thinking is a book. One more time "THE BIBLE IS A BOOK!"
What the bible is "NOT" God or Jesus. So, why is it so many people speak of or refer to the bible as if "IT" is God or Jesus.
If God or Jesus are such loving entities then how is it that ones perspective of them is often used like a pillow to silence the voice of another or even many.
Where is the love in such action?
EVERYONE OF US IS GIVEN CHOICE!
DO NOT LET SOMEONE ELSE TAKE THAT AWAY!
For me, loving God, Jesus, or whom ever has nothing to do with how someone else loves them. It only matters "how I love" them!
In my lifetime I will learn what I am meant to learn given the choices I make!
It is not about right or wrong!
It is not about shoulds or not!
It is not about religion or rituals!
It is about LOVE!
When choice is forcefully removed from an experience or another, for me, it is the equivalent of sucking the life out of someone. It is a very dark moment that feels very heavy and impossible. It is a moment of FEAR!
When will we learn that God is not meant to be used as a tool of force?
God is a process of love!
Love is not controlling!
Love is not painful!
Love does not minimize!
Love is kind, accepting, compassionate, and caring.
Love opens the door of possibility because it does not see right or wrong.
LOVE IS ACCEPTING!
Love understands all things in time. Meaning, your path is not the same as mine and that is okay.
LOVE LISTENS!
Imagine what a good healthy dose of love would bring to your relationships.
Imagine how good it would feel to love again.
LOVE IS AN EXPERIENCE!
When was the last time you actually took the time to experience another person?
When was the last time you experienced you?
LOVE STARTS WITH YOU!
Be kind to you, ALWAYS!
Be Bold, Be Extraordinary, Be YOU!
With love,
