How I see God

I said I am always searching to know God better.  Well, this is how I see Him.  He neither punishes us for bad behavior nor rewards us for good.  He doesn't manipulate us, but if we listen to our concience we know what is right from wrong.  He lets us make our own mistakes, which we are so good at doing and the results are natural consequences of what we choose to do.  He is there to comfort, hear our prayers and let us know that He is there to strengthen and help us.  He is the creator, He came here in person to show us who He is and His spirit remains with us today.  He is the same today and always.

I believe that the people of the old testament had a belief of a God who punished them and rewarded them because that was how they understood their world.  But He is the same God then as today.

I have a friend who has terminal cancer.  We are all praying for her, but that doesn't mean she will recover her health.  But, it does mean that God will never leave her alone and He will give her comfort and be with her forever.

I think forgot to say that  I also have blueberries in my yogurt everyday to keep my memory sharp.
