In the last few years I have become particularly
interested in spirituality
and theology, (rather than religion 'per se', an impressive expression,
rather fancy and foreign.)
But what does it mean? I began to realize
that the spiritual aspect was
missing from my life for so long. Unbalanced, like a lop-sided wheel,
my engine of life spluttering and misfiring along.
I'm certainly not another "Bible basher".
I like to think of myself as a
free spirited Christian who is tolerant of other views and denominations.
There are many doorways to God, our great
Creator and life-force, I believe.
I think intolerance and adhering to "narrow
religious dogmas" is one of the
reasons why rigid 'religious (note alliteration) types' are perceived
as being
'weirdoes' by those on the outside, and why the world is in such a mess!
I am a new Christian, but with the sort of
life I've led, Someone up there must
have been watching over me all the time. My relationship with a Higher
Power,
The Spirit of the universe through Jesus Christ, gives me peace of
mind and
joy, though I've still got my "L-plates" on in my walk with our heavenly
Father,
Infinite Intelligence, Life, Nature or Destiny
(or whatever you wish to call Him /Her/ It).
My relationship with him is vitally important
to me, (together with my dearly
beloved sons) and I seem to get closer to and get to know God better
day by day. He is the source of my comfort (and I need plenty) strength
and
inspiration. I believe I'm doing what I'm destined to do by following
my 'calling' and the deepest desires of my heart.
I want to follow His plan for my life and
serve humanity. ( Well, without Him
what a 'stuff up' I made, going down my blind alleys and coming to numerous
dead-ends - 'cul de sacs' ). Showing off my French again!
Enough disclosure of intimate stuff - as
I'm a very private part - 'er sorry, person!
This is a very quiet, stable period of my life, after much turbulence
in the past
decade. Probably extremely boring for someone like me. However, I really
needed this time out after our unstable and stressful past decade -
changing countries as often as my 'underrods'.
Most importantly, I sincerely believe its
time for growing (as I'm quite short!).
But perhaps most of all, its my apprenticeship serving God, as I have
a
very strong feeling that I would like to spend the rest of my life
getting to
know Him better and honoring Him, as well as helping people in
distress and "serving humanity in whatever way I can. In short,
being the best person I can possibly be.
In my future works I have a strong compulsion
(or is it inspiration?) to write on
a more spiritual level; about what HE has done for me personally and what
He
can do in all of our lives...if only we will open the door and let Him
(the spirit/energy of the Universe) in.
Yes, I firmly believe we all need that firm
relationship with The Creator.
I strongly believe that relationship is not only for the weak, the
poor and the
"lame ducks" of society; but also for the successful achievers who can
do
much more with FAITH.
We don't know when we will
need His help...and when our whole world comes
crashing down, like Humpty Dumpty, he is our 'insurance policy',
our parachute.
How much more we can do with
God's help? We only have to ask Him to come
into our lives. I truly believe God wants us to be good kind people (as
most
people are), to love ourselves as well as our neighbor; yet also to be
successful
(financially, but especially spiritually)...and to use our wealth to benefit
others
Though 'yours truly' can't
speak from a position of strength - at least not yet!
"Without hope and a vision
the people perish"
Enough "heavy" theology and
"preaching like a religious nutter trying to
save and convert you"...
