Wondering

 'Who is ‘God’

Have you ever wondered just who ‘God’ is? I sure have and wanted to find out everything I could about Him. After many years of being about as sinful as ever and doing everything wrong, I believe I have an answer. I don’t know about you but I have been close to death on a few occasions, pulled through it all and still did it my way. I never wanted to hear anything about ‘God’ or have anything to do with Him. I now realize after many, many years that I had ‘God’ all along in my life.

Take and look out your window sometime or look up toward the heavens. Do not look with just your eyes nor your heart but also your mind. Go to a hospital and visit the Maternity floor, you will see God there also. Look upon the trees, the land and the seas. What do you see? ‘God’ He is everywhere; He is life, forgiveness, beauty and everything else there is. In essence, ‘God’ is pure life, He is your lifeline, He is your care giver, your doctor, your spouse and your children.

 Now there may be some who will say that ‘God’ does not exist, boy have they made a big mistake. They may even say that we all came from Apes and that life began with the big bang which scientist have said, that too, is wrong. Just stop and think about it and ask yourself this question. ‘Why are there still Apes upon this beautiful planet?’ As far as the quote, unquote ‘Big Bang’ goes that just happened to be ‘God’ clapping his hands together as He created you and me.

 I will also say something else and that is ‘God’ is complete total and unconditional Love. How many of us can say that with honesty, I know I sure can’t. ‘God’ is also our Father, Mother, Brother and Sister for He is life within life. ‘God is also our next door neighbor, the lost child down the street, those that are hungry, homeless, lonely and even those that have been forsaken by you and I.

 To give you a sense of how I realized all of this I must share with you a couple of my own life experiences.

  I happened to have been about eight years old when was instructed by my mother to chop some wood. While chopping, I got the ax stuck in a piece of the wood. Circumstances at the time meant that I had no other choice but to finish chopping up the wood. Angrily, I grabbed a hammer and went to work on the ax, trying to free it from the piece of wood. The next thing I knew, a piece of metal from either the ax or the hammer flew right into my left eye. Now that alone might have ended my life but it did not. I did however have to have the eye removed.

 Another time when I was about fifteen or sixteen, I am not quite sure which it was, but I lay for five days with a ruptured appendix. I lost around thirty pounds in those five days. When I was finally taken to the doctors, they ended up rushing me into surgery. After surgery, there I was with tubes everywhere and in so much pain I can not even describe it. Out of the hospital with a big hole in my side for drainage, I could only walk very slowly. As a matter of fact, a turtle could have beaten me across the street. To tell you the truth, I should have been dead because the infection had gone through my whole body. ‘God’ had to be there even at that time and kept me safe.

 I could tell you much more but the point I am trying to make is this, no matter who you are or what you have done ‘God’ is right there beside you. So if you or someone you know asks the question, ‘Who is ‘God’, tell them He is everything there is and without Him there is nothing what so ever.

 God is the maker of all things, including the heavens or as we say ‘The Universe’ Believe me one day every soul will know exactly who God is.
