ONE BIG CREATOR

I HAVE A RATHER LARGE VIEW OF GOD. I FEEL IT IS FOOLISH OF US TO TRY TO BOX THE CREATOR IN A DENOMINATION OR RELIGION. I MEAN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE VERY SOURCE OF ALL THE STARS AND PLANETS, OF ALL THE PLANTS AND CREATURES, OF ALL THE MANY PEOPLES AND CULTURES. WHETHER YOU BELIVE IN GENESIS' ACCOUNT OF CREATION OR THAT WE WERE GENETICALLY ENGINEERED BY EXTRATERESSTRIALS THE ULTIMATE POINT IS THAT GOD HAS CREATED ALL THAT WAS AND IS AND IS TO COME. THIS UNIFYING FORCE OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE HAS SPOKEN ALL THAT IS INTO BEING AND HOW SCIENCE OR SUPERSTITION TRIES TO EXPLAIN IT MATTERS NOT.

AN UNDERSTANDING OF THIS CAN BRING PEACE. ONE ISSUE MANY ATHEISTS AND OTHERS BRING UP IS HOW COULD GOD CREATE SO MUCH PAIN AND HURT, BUT THIS QUESTION ONLY COMES FROM AN IMMATURE SPRITUAL STATE. AS I UNDERSTAND THROUGH STUDY, DREAMS, AND INTUITION OUR UNIVERSE WAS CREATED AS A MEANS OF RAPID SPIRITUAL GROWTH AND EVENTUAL REUNION WITH OUR GOD. EXAMPLE WOULD BE THE STORY OF ADAM AND EVE IN THE GARDEN. HAD THEY NEVER LEFT THE GARDEN THEN ALL THEY WOULD HAVE KNOWN WAS BLISS, BUT THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ABLE TO UNDERSTAND OR EXPERIENCE IT AS BLISS. WITHOUT THE STORMY DARK DAYS WE CAN'T COMPREHEND THE BEAUTY AND GRACE OF A SUNNY SPRING AFTERNOON. WITHOUT HARDSHIPS IN LIFE WE CAN'T UNDERSTAND VICTORY OVER SAID HARDSHIPS. ESSENTIALLY ONE CAN'T EXIST WITHOUT THE OTHER.

THE KEY TO SPIRITUAL WEALTH AND MATURITY IS BEING ABLE TO RECONCILE THIS WITHIN. EVERY TRIAL BRINGS AN OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN AND MOVE FORWARD. OUR WHOLE REALITY IS BASED AROUND OPPOSITES: NIGHT AND DAY, HAPPY AND SAD, GOOD AND EVIL, ENTHROPY AND ENTROPY, UP AND DOWN, HEAVEN AND HELL, THE GOD AND THE DEVIL, LIFE AND DEATH, SPRING AND FALL, WINTER AND SUMMER, HOT AND COLD. RELIGION AND SOCIETY BOTH DEMAND THAT YOU PICK ONE AND FIGHT THE OTHER. THEY DRAW A CLEAR LINE IN THE SAND AND CONDEMN THOSE ON THE OTHER SIDE.

BUT AS A TRUE GENIUS HAS BALANCED THE LEFT BRAIN WITH THE RIGHT BRAIN, SO TO MUST WE FIND BALANCE BETWEEN THE OPPOSING FORCES AND UNITE THEM AS ONE. JOHN 1:3 INFORMS US THAT ALL WAS CREATED BY GOD. NOT JUST THE GOOD THINGS, BUT EVEN THOSE WE SEE AS BAD OR EVIL. MOST PEOPLE HAVE AN IDEA OF GOD AND BELIEVE IN A DOGMA SET FORTH BY THEIR PASTORS AND PRIESTS. WHEN ONE PERSON HAS AN EXPERIENCE THAT VERIFIES THE EXISTENCE OF GOD AND THE NEXT PHASE OF LIFE WE ALL SHOULD TAKE HEED. BUT ALL TOO OFTEN WE JUST DISREGARD THESE AS TOOLS OF THE DEVIL BECAUSE THE EXPERIENCE DOESNT CONFIRM OUR SELFISH AND IGNORANT BELIEF. IN EFFECT, WE HAVE GIVEN THE DEVIL MORE GLORY AND POWER, MORE REVERENCE THAN OUR CREATOR. WE WILL HAVE STATED THAT OUR GOD IS UNABLE TO WORK AND SPEAK IN THE LIVES OF HIS CREATION.

BEFORE I GET OFF TRACK LETS BRING IT BACK TO THE ORIGINAL THOUGHT OF GOD BEING TOO LARGE TO FIT IN ONE RELIGION OR BOX. WE NEED TO SEEK BALANCE WITHIN AND NOT BE SO QUICK TO LABEL MODERN DAY MIRACLES AS TRICKS OF THE DEVIL. AFTER ALL, IT WAS THAT MINDSET THAT LED TO THE CRUCIFIXION OF THE CHRIST. LEARN FROM TRYING EXPERIENCES, LET THEM GIVE YOU INSIGHT AND WISDOM....
