No One has seen God

 So What Does God Look Like?

The hearts of the ancients have been told that no one has seen God. We've even been told God is plural and is referred to as more than one. This explains the Trinity as in John 17.

 Jesus said even He does not know when the end time will come. Despite this many have pushed themselves forward predicting the exact arrival of the end.

Every one of these others were all wrong so far, and thus, being wrong, revealed themselves as false prophets.

What we do know, despite never seeing God, is that we actually know what He looks like. 

He looks like us.

The Making of Decisions

I am Me and Everyone else is Them

I can still hear the words as if they were said yesterday. Just the words, where I heard them along the road from my first grade school. Don't you realize I am calling your mother a dog?

"So what?" I said within a blink. Whatever you say has no control over me or my mother. I took it somewhat curious he should think so. 

Later I figured he must be thinking his disrespect carried some weight beyond himself. What can I do with someone's respect? What can I do if he goes off and speaks to someone when I am not around? I cannot constantly control whatever everyone says even if I wanted. 

Then I would become responsible for them 24/7? Not me! I am my own self, not anyone else. I wonder if we are born individually or collectively, or perhaps we make that decision as children and subsequently forget it? 

Anyway, I am stuck with my decision. And I love my existence and the source of that existence no matter what.

The readable Bible

Underlining the Bible

Many people, I judge, carry Bibles, dog-eared, underlined, circled and commented about in the margins, for whatever reason I will not judge, to possibly make it appear they are devoted re-readers of the Word. 

I could never do it.   I used sticking, colored transparent bookmarks of various colors. Green tipped for strong verses for remembrance, gold to highlight the very most vital verses of all. I also used colored round dots to catch my eye for my favorite verses, etc. 

Once a pastor asked to see my Bible, that I had with me. He studied it, I thought, obviously looking to see how dog-eared it was.

If you read it all, often marking it up, it is not long before everything is underlined and nothing is highlighted, or even recalled, in my view. 

In any event, I respect my Bible, most especially my reading Bibles, and said nothing. Neither did he.

true love


 Chap sez to me, good chap, sez God loves me, and he (himself) loves me, but there is nothing I can do about it. 

When I will rest easy is when he can't do anything about it!
