Harnessing God

If you believe in God and you believe that he calls you in some way, then you must believe this.

What spiritual callings God gives to us cannot be taken away by man. Man may maim, or destroy, but he cannot remove a God given gift.

Sometimes my faith falters and I don't know exactly what God is, but is it really necessary to know? Necessity to know seems to imply a desire to control and I doubt any God omnipotent enough to do all the things attributed to him, can be controlled.

I have pretty much come to the conclusion that God either is, or is not. All the rules man can dream up about him, or her, or perhaps an androgynous power we have no concept of, are only man's attempt to understand in his own terms what is really beyond understanding. And, (and this is the biggest "and" of all) man's attempt to harness God and use that power for his own benefit.

I don't seem to have a problem with God, but then I don't have a problem with a lot of things. I can accept them for whatever they are. I may not like them from time to time, but that is irrelevant.

It is the art of separating man's actions from reality that allows me to rest at night.
