Oh God, what am I to believe? All humanity in its great diversity disagrees so much about who or what you are.
Everywhere I look there is a different opinion about you and about how I should be. Religions, passed down through the past few thousand years, tell me little. Compared to the eternal vastness of Creation, they seem but
words written by people struggling to attain order and impress humanity with a knowing that cannot be spoken. Each one is so sure they are your spokesperson, attempting to name the Nameless. Each seeking to outdo the
other, each preaching love while yet the world wages war in Your nameless Name. How then may I know? Oh God, tell me, not so I can tell others, as I know the world only listens to itself and I need
not add to it. Tell me, God, so that I may fulfill the destiny of your creation. I have looked at countless books and trod the floors of countless churches and yet it is not possible for me to in good conscience say to
a single being that I have found the Way. Oh God, can the answer be so simple as to be before us and not seen? Is it perhaps that there is no Way to be found? Are our feeble attempts to define your intentions what
hold us back? Could it be that the very attempt to define is what limits our ability to know? Is it that Creation can not be defined because it is never finished? Oh God, are
you finished? Or are You ever new in your eternal vision. Always seeking to know yourself even as we are? Oh God, in my heart I wish that you are never finished, for if you are finished, then you are limited, and I am
finished. In my heart, I feel that that which I call God is unlimited, eternal and the source of unconditional Love beyond measure. Please tell me this is so. Oh God, could it be that perhaps there simply are no answers? Could it be that we exist simply to add to your creation? To travel the unknown path so as not
to limit our potential by limiting beliefs and therefore insure no limit to your grand creation? Oh God, if this is the answer, then I am truly humbled by your grand wisdom, for you have created an endless creation which eternally creates, supported by your endless
unconditional love. Within that unconditional love, there is freedom, and from that freedom springs Joy. Oh God, I see now.
It is freedom, upheld by unconditional love that describes You, even while You remain nameless. The freedom to eternally strive towards fulfillment of spirit, to reach that special place where love is all there is. I
can see now God, surely you are free from our simple human beliefs in limitation and punishment. Oh God, thank you for the freedom to seek to be like you. Thank you for the freedom to choose to know
I am free. Thank you for the freedom to know I am free from what others believe. Thank you for the freedom to know I am me, unique and eternal in your Creation. Thank you for the freedom to know why I am driven so to
care about others. Oh God, thank you for the freedom to proclaim with humble Joy I am part of your Creation and in knowing me I can know You.
With love.....to all who would listen to freedom. Jimmy |
