Greetings to my two readers!!! May the force be with you.
I have been thinking lately about my relationship with God. I am a christian so I call to mind the triune God. Father(Jehovah or Yaweh), Son (Jesus of Nazereth), and Holy Spirit. (the great comforter) wow what a great ponderance to which a lifetime could be spent on just those three things.
Why I am a christian? IS it because I do not like to smoke , drink or have illicit sex (anymore) so I have to find a crowd to have company? well not really. The biggest reason I have observed in others that are not christian is a stubborn refusal to give up the comforts of their otherwize miserable lives. MAybe thats judgemental , I am not sure.
The central idea for me though that rings true for me and why I choose to be a christian is the idea or theme that alone without God (the above three things) I do not achieve anything worthwhile. Another words, there is a mighty God that is reaching for me, wanting me, calling me, fighting for me, dying for me. Not some lofty God who needs people to come to perfection before he embraces them . Quite the opposite.
I am definitley not a new ager, whose central theme or goal is to achieve Godliness or ultimate human power. The "Co-creator" complex that shrouds many new age philosophies and circles. Some people just cannot stand to play second fiddle. Gee sounds like someone familiar. Not only am I second fiddle, but I am but an ember shooting from the blaze of God. Created by God, for no other purpose except for God. Now thats sounds like fun to me. Not a boring dull life.
I do not have to give up my vices. God takes them from me. God helps me in every way possible to help me achieve what I could not do on my own.
From a mental health perspective, this concept is so so important. Suffering froom a mood disorder myself, I have in the past had my mood elevated so much that I was greater than human. Entrenched in a delusion that I was an angel, my wheels were spinning and I was failing miserabley on the frontier of earth, to which the game of grab and reach for material wealth is played out. What did I care, I was above all that anyway. Reality has a way of pointing you in the direction of your local psychiatrists office.
Personally I have come to adore my doctor and all the mental health professionals, alanon sponsors, clergy, evangelicals, and all the others that have carried a message to me.
It's really not funny , But it is a tiny bit. hehehehehhehehhehehhehehhehehehhehehhehheheh
and muhahahahahahhahahhahahhahhahhahahhah.
That's my experience.
