NOTES FROM A JOURNAL Regarding God



The man or woman who is truly aware of God’s presence in their life does not need a text of religious doctrine to tell them how to live.  Nor do they need a book of rules and regulations to tell them what is right or wrong, or who is ‘good’ and who is ‘bad’.  They will speak and act in a manner that lifts others up, shinning a light on them, and not judging,demeaning and demonizing them.

Those men and women “of God”, who stand on the pulpits for their own creation and condemn all who do not believe as they do,,  and blame the unfaithful for all of the world’s problems are usually small, ineffectual people who use religious trappings to combat their own insecurity and fulfill their need for control and power.  

The gift of faith is a humbling experience.
