god has no hands - part 2

I don’t believe God has hands, or ears, or a mouth, I don’t believe God is a He or that God has any human-like characteristics. God is not supernatural or omnipotent.

God has power yes, in fact God is power. The power of Love, the power that gives Life and the power that allows us to Be who we are.

And so if I believe God has no hands and has no ears, then what am I to do? How do I ask for help? How do I seek intercession?

Well if I believe God is Love, Life and Being then I must find ways to tap into that Love, get the most out of Life and Be the best person I can. If I can achieve this, then perhaps I can experience the miracles of everyday life, both small and large. Perhaps then I can experience God in my life.

When I love all of those I come into contact with, when I love unconditionally and wastefully, I can see God in my life. The joy that I feel, the love that is returned is evidence of God, evidence of a higher power working in my life. Not only do I feel love in return but I may experience love in various forms. I may experience love in a kind gesture, or a gift or the care of another. However I experience this love it is often the answer to a prayer. It is God working in my life.

When Christ tells us “I have come that you may have life, and have it abundantly!”, I believe He is telling me to live my life fully and to the best of my ability. When I do this I am rewarded over and over again. My life is full, happy and I am free. I may feel better physically, emotionally and mentally. There is joy, I acquire experiences, knowledge and friends. My prayers are answered.

And when I be all that I can be, I realize my full potential. I use my talents and grow as a person. Whether in work or play. Spiritually or mentally. Being the best me allows me to be a part of my community. I can contribute positively to society at large. When I am trying to be the best me that I can be, the blessings come. Promotions and raises at work, good grades at school, perhaps a beautiful garden at home or maybe the sounds of music from my guitar, a canvas covered with paint to make a spectacular picture. Whatever I choose to do, whatever my talent, if I use it and nurture it and practice it and be the best I can, the rewards are many. My prayers are answered.

And so if I live fully, love wastefully and be the best me I can, am I not living a life like Christ? Am I not in contact with God? Am I not experiencing God? Am I not praying? Am I not worshipping God? I believe so.
