When I was trying to save souls, as they made me think that was my mission, my heart was pure. I realize that many Christians believe they are working for God. It's sad to watch.
Once you're away from it though, you realize how much easier life with God was meant to be. Below is a letter I composed years ago from what I believed God was saying to me. It tooks ten years to figure it out and compose it. Once I started living according to this, life became so much easier and happier.
A SPECIAL MESSAGE FOR YOU
Let me introduce myself. I have many names, God, Lord, the creator, Jehovah, and the list goes on. Many think they know me well and speak for me frequently. Unfortunately, they rely on false teachings throughout generations of mankind and have been conditioned to shut themselves off to the truth. The more devoted you are in your religion, the stronger you might rebel to this truth. Churches teach you to limit your acceptance to their specific interpretation of the scriptures or your assurance for eternal life will be jeopardized. Sadly, this contradicts your ability to utilize one of my many gifts to you ? common sense. I created this entire world with all its beauty and splendor, from the brightest stars in the sky to the tiniest creatures not even visible to the human eye, and everything in between. My wonders don?t just happen. Can anyone explain why people expect me to prove my legitimacy by performing the supernatural or magic? Don?t they understand that the "natural" is my phenomena that commands your utmost respect. Everything I make and how I make it has a purpose in the world. Why would I ever change that course to prove to anyone that I really exist? If you really need proof, try creating a single living cell yourself. Why do you apologize for being one of my most precious creations? I always hear "Forgive us, Lord, for we are born of sin." This is insulting. I made you not of sin, but of pure love. Everything about you has a positive purpose. When you struggle and learn, you develop and grow. This is part of my plan and again it is perfect. Sensuality is another gift to you. It provides happiness and enjoyment, not to mention continuation and fulfillment of life. As with everything, its limitations need to be understood and learned. Your inner self, where I reside, provides you with that direction if you listen. Remember that modesty promotes rigidness. I'm not ashamed of this gift and you shouldn?t be either. Your anger is also misunderstood. It serves an important function. It is not to be suppressed, as that could result in long-term psychological harm. Instead, you must know to use it for your protection and that of your loved ones. How to effectively utilize anger is one of the most difficult lessons in life, and sometimes takes almost an entire lifetime to achieve. My gift of humor is often returned, unopened. For some reason, many think to serve me is to be solemn and serious. Don ?t you realize that I created humor, that laughter and gaiety extend the quality of life? What could make a father happier than seeing his children laughing and happy? Why do you look down upon others who worship me differently than you? Those who praise my name continually, while putting themselves on a pedestal high among others, are hypocrites. Remember how many times Jesus pointed that out during his lifetime? While you interpret so many biblical stories literally, why do you ignore the continual teaching that I want you to come to me in all your humility? In other words, to worship me is to rid yourself of ego, and then love, accept and respect all my people, even if they are Jewish, Catholic, Christian, Muslim, Buddha, African-American, Mexican, Indian, gay, heavy, skinny, disabled or mentally challenged. I made all of them, live with them, and love them.
I don't want people showing up at my house in their best attire just to make an appearance, sing a song, and then brag about how superior they are to others. Judgment is reserved for me. You need to stick with humility, acceptance and tolerance, and I?ll be smiling on you. The bible was written by men to help people understand me and was inspired by me. However, thousands of years of flawed men with different spiritual agendas caused that bible to be interpreted many different ways. I continue to create people in different regions of the world that require different spiritual guidance. I don?t have a chosen people and never did. That's what you call prejudice. You know prejudice is wrong. So what makes you think I could create all people, but only love a few? I also don?t need to be marketed, unless you truly want to share this truth. Unless you know what you're selling, it scares people away more than brings them to me. This world I'm offering has few boundaries. Start living your life on the open highway, being the best person you can be. Follow what is right as you feel it deep in your heart, where you'll always find me, and you will do right by me. This is my truth and who I am. But deep down inside, you've already known this, huh? Love, God
