Do you ever feel like your being 'graded' by God??
Do you ever feel like your being watched and graded by 'God'??
You know like A,B,C,D or F?
Like your always being observed and graded based on how you react to certain things...
For instance...
1. When you loose your keys...do you blame others around you? Do you blame God? Do you loose your temper, only to end up finding them in your own pocket?
2. Or maybe when your going broke...finacially...how do you handle it?
How does going broke effect ones stated relationship with 'God'?
Is the impulse to lash out at him? I mean after all most of us have been conditioned to look towards God as a provider...
The term 'Father' is a 'role'...and that role comes with a certain expectation...
Just like we expect our humanly fthers to look out for us...
So when one finds themselves in dire needs, is it natural to turn to the one you've been conditioned to believe is suppose to help you? And when they don't, how do you, we, respond?
(I'm sure everyone has their personal bouts with God, but then the following day or week, somehow, someway, things work out)
Again...is that a test and grade type of session?
In this world, mishaps seem to be the norm for most, more so than good fortune...
Like buying a new cell phone with the last of your money and then dropping it into the sink...and the butterfly effect of that can be tremendious and far reaching...
Or dropping your keys down a storm drain...
Your suppose to pick someone up in 10 minutes, but now you can't, and you have no way of calling them...
Again...are we being graded on how we react to these situations??
In most cases...they pan out...and then we're left to reflect on our behavior through the 'trial'....
But then they seem to occur again...only in a different sequence...as if being re-tested to see if indeed we've learned anything from the last time it occured.
And what exactly are we suppose to learn?
How to stay calm in the storm, any storm?
And to not allow our emotions to get out of wack or tempures to flair?
Is that the ultimate lesson...
And does God use an imperfect world, to shape people or souls after his own heart??
Guess one day we'll find out...

As long as the LORD Bless each of us, and Forgives each of us and "forgets" our Sins when we repent, then I will love HIM forever...
I wish you well...

What I wonder though...is how come supposedly, the only time we can see or interact with God is after we're dead??
What's up with that??
Why can't God interact with the living?, I mean why must one be dead, and past on, in order to see or physically interact with God?
When your alone, in a room, all by yourself, alone, without food, or anything to sustain your life...even if God is there, he will just watch, and allow you to die, to starve to death...and that's love??
Sometimes I just don't get it, and sometimes I wonder if God does exist outside of our own minds...Posted 03-12-2011 at 09:58 AM by Time and Space
