Is There a God?

I could get into a big religious debate about who God is. To each religion he stands for something different. But each religion does share some basic definitions of what he is.
But I don’t want to discuss religion, I want to talk about God.

I am using the term he. But many people believes that God is a female. I think he is male but not like the human males here on Earth. He is of course all knowing, which means he understands women, he knows how we feel. Human males are not that knowledgeable.

God also has many names from Savior, Christ, Buddha and Jehovah. But what ever you wish to call him, he is still the idol of all idols.

Most of us were born being told what God expected. For many, this may be the reason why they don’t believe now. It was crammed into their throats too much as children and he really came up when they were doing something their parents felt like they shouldn’t be doing. This could make God appear as a judgmental figure for some as adults.

Personally, I don’t believe God is judgmental. Of course, he wants us to do what is right. But I also believe that he understands that everyone has to endure different things. For that reason, I believe when it comes time for God to judge us, he will keep this in mind. He also understands we are human and we make mistakes. If we realize what we have done is wrong and we are sorry, I believe he will keep this in mind.

When people think of God, they also think of all the miracles he has made happen. But I still don’t want to talk about where the stories came from now. For we all know that the bible was written by man and it has been duplicated hundreds upon thousands of times. Some of his words were probably lost and some were probably altered, not by any dark means, but just by human mistake.

Forget the stories, think about your own life. Hasn’t there been miracles in your life? The sun rises every day, flowers bloom, the moon appears every night if only behind the clouds with its magnificent glow, rainbows appear, butterflies flutters, and a child can suddenly break out into a smile or a laugh. To me these are the main signs that God exists.

To me, when I think of God, when I talk to him, a wonderful warmth spreads over my heart. It is similar to the feeling I have for my partner in life. This feeling of warmth is the feeling of love. To me that is what God is LOVE.

No, he doesn’t answer all of my prayers. But he does answer some. And I know he is the reason some wonderful things have happened to me that I didn’t even think of asking.

I have I lost faith. Yes, I have to admit. The day my father died I wondered if God existed. I was in pain, as was my mother. Why would a loving God let us feel pain? Then I thought about many other sad tragic things that had occurred not to me personally, but to the world. My faith got smaller as these thoughts filled my head.

But as time passed. I tried to push aside the hurt I was feeling , at the lost of my dad and started thinking about the pain my dad was having, it was a lot of pain, a lot of the time. A loving God would not want us to feel pain, forever. Slowly, my faith returned as I started noticing the little things of this world that I love, little things that I believe God and his angels created.

No, none of my beliefs are based on science. But science doesn’t know all, at least not yet.

I can’t give you solid evidence that there is a God. I can’t share the feelings that I feel. It is just something a person has to feel on their own.

I won’t argue with you, if you don’t believe. I believe God’s love will fill a person, when it is time.

But I will continue to believe. Because if there was no God, what would the point of it all have been?
