When God is not there anymore

purplesofa

Do you remember, or do you do this ........talk to God, ask God for things, thank God for things and get angry at God?

When I remove this mysterious, allusive God out of my mind and not rely on God, I have to go within myself for answers and think about things logically and not put off feelings to him and feel them within myself and deal with it on a whole different set of laws and bounderies and rules within myself. Does this make sense to anyone?

With each step farther away from God I am fearful, and yet I am knowing and understanding myself better, the things I like and the things I don't like.

Do we rely and expect too much from God, is he really there?!?!?!

Stand UP and BE STRONG

Listen up and get ready, I'm not gonna take no more

Theres a revolution a revelation getting on in my soul

Buckle up, get ready, we're not gonna sit back and wait

And Allow ourselves, and each another to lose control of our fate

There'll be no sacrifice, no more fears, I'm gonna make my move,

get out of my way.....Cause we've been waiting way to long

We don't weep, we don't moan We've got a mind of our own

That's right we can't go wrong if we stand up and be strong

Get up everybody, get off your ass

We gotta do something and we gotta do it fast

Cause the people are hungry, starvin and the fuel is low

Don't wait for Jesus, he ain't coming, back no more

We gotta sacrifice have no fear, Shed no blood, shed no tears

We've gotta make our move,

get out of our way.....Cause we've been waiting way to long

We don't weep, we don't moan We've got a mind of our own

That's right we can't go wrong if we stand up and be strong

He provides the "Do-it-yourself kit" and instructions. Leaves it to us to figure out the rest! Me thinks your "growth" is more a realization that the concept of "have-God-do-it" mentality enables an unhealthy dependency on a vain imagination.

I feel ya purps...

this is the reason I love Cannabis so much... It really does make me dig deep into the back of my brain... Go deep within myself... It does not just cover up my problems and make me "happy", say, like, alchohol would/does... when I smoke, yes, I am less motivated to do things, but to me that's good, cause it means i'm not distracted from the problem at hand/within... I am forced to just be stationary, and think about it/work through it...

Please realize, That I'm not suggesting this to you or anyone else... It works for me though..

PEACE, Mike

Just a suggestion....

Only until I refused God in my heart have I been able to confront the true emotions of life and be a strong person. For me, having faith became a weak strategy for not having to think about life Big Questions, the Big Questions that faith in God never answer fulfillingly.

The way I would PREFER God to work is not the way He works. But I hardly know much about human beings, and the complexity of not merely getting them to grow up physically, but emotionally and mentally and spiritually. I would sometimes love to be spoonfed, coddled... It doesn't happen though. Sometimes I think He lets us get so frustrated and mad that we are forced to figure out if we are serious about anything at all.

I think it is healthy to be honest with yourself about your feelings and such. You only get to do that when there isn't a barrier (like fear). I think that God, if He exists, must be big enough to take all the honesty a person can dish out, so why not think things thru as much as possible, or state what we think? It's certainly got to be the starting point, if nothing else.

It is a waste of breath to ask God for anything because God is not holding back anything. HE/SHE knows that you are merely dreaming a dream of separation. However, because we have been given free will, God is powerless to overcome our decision to dream, even when those dreams turn into nightmares. Have you every asked yourself WHO is the presence within you that is aware of your feelings and emotions and is observing how you react to them? Could it be the I AM THAT I AM?

Thanks so much for your comments. I appreciate each and everyone of them......well, except lovelylill!!!!

I sometimes think that some people don't seperate talking to themselves from talking to God (Jehovah) After studying for a long time, I came to the decision, that I was talking to myself. And there are different levels of spirituality within. Sometimes we dive very deep, other times we skim along. We nuture, teach, critisize and love who we are within. Not being fearful to know who we are, confronting who we are has got to be one of the most honest, pure things in life.

I wonder how something natural got to be so unnatural. The bible tells of a time when all things are handed back to God. Jesus will no longer be a mediator. Won't we have to be complete within ourselves, we would know who we are, where we stand, and conquered our deepest fears and secrets.
