Sometime
ago, there was an intense campaign to declare that God was dead; the message
was There's probably no God. Now stop
worrying and enjoy your life.
However, I
would like to propose the opposite to this message: God does exist, so stop worrying and enjoy your life. Well, almost
the opposite…
It happens
that many people feel themselves persecuted by God or religions that use His
name to do whatever they have to do. The image of a judging God is very strong
in the collective mind of millions, maybe billions of people.
However,
that image coexists with the idea of a Creator – a very loving and merciful
Creator, whose love was able to shape the universe.
And maybe –
just maybe – it is more a question of which idea tunes with you.
For me, God
is personal. I’ve left Him when I was 14 as I realized He would not change my
life. A few years later, I’ve met Him again and I have been receiving so much
from Him since then, my life is totally new.
If you are
interested, my suggestion is for you to ask yourself: What do I really want God for and how do I visualize my relationship
with Him? In this way, you may start to feel God is more than words or
ideas; He is real, as real as you and me.
