Paula..."And the Truth shall set you free" Thank you Paula for your beautiful sharing.. any sharing of the truth of how one feels is beautiful regardless of how anyone reacts to the message that was shared. So thank you for your courage, your candor...and your heart! I for one was angry at God for years...I would blame him for everything...that did not turn out the way this little me wanted it! But at one point I said, hell with it...and I started loving Him/Her regardless...regardless of how I felt about Him. With that, in that, everthing started to shift. Now...if you can't do that, or don't want to...that is okay too. Maybe pick something else other than whatever current image you have of God...and love that! Eg: I love picking wild black berries in the fall...the crunch of icy frost under my feet...the look of verdant fronds seeming to protect the berry patches...the sudden appearance of a blue and red woodpecker...the cool freshness in the air...the innocent laughter of a child. My goodness...there are tons of beautiful scenes and senses...each to savor and love. And each of these...is truly the face of God looking straight at us! To be loved...to be honored. And that wonderful feeling inside your heart...is really the love of God that dwells within. And my intent here is not to talk you out of your anger...your anger is okay too...but to give you a glimpse of the bigger picture. A spiritual teacher I once had, Emaho, said about anger: "Try not to direct it at either yourself or other people...for it is destructive...but rather aim it at the sky...the sky can take it." So....I suspect God can take it too! And thank you for your heart-felt honesty, Paula.
Loving and blessing always, Jim and Jimi.
