View Him

I’ve heard of people who asked God for something very important but He didn’t oblige them. Matter of fact, I’m one of them. But I’m different from some of those people in that I remain un-offended; I did not get angry at God and spout injustice. I am not one of those idiots who make God their houseboy. God is not obligated to me or anyone else.
I also know that God is not an angry or vengeful God. He is not irrational or power hungry. He doesn’t need to prove anything and He owes no explanations. The sour fruit of fatherhood has made us view God through coloured lenses. We know tyrants who donated spermatozoa and nothing else yet call themselves fathers, forgetting that life is much more than biology. The world would be truly better without such men who encourage erroneous beliefs and cause pain and grief. Twisting and turning truth for their own use, they’ve taught us things that are hard to unlearn. It’s hard to believe that God is who He claims to be because we know men who have made ballistic claims. But God’s claims are outrageous, and rightly so. He gave us proofs. We don’t need a revalidation of His claims because it doesn’t change; He never changes.
Instead of following His patterns we carved our own ways. And not us but him, the one who leads us to error. And instead of talking back at him, we carry on conversations when we should shut him up! It is cumbersome to stay consistent when there are eye watering distractions so we lose focus. And we keep finding it hard to believe that God is who He is especially when things are in a disturbing upheaval. Like it or not, believe it or not, this is truth; God is just and there is no wickedness in Him. If it were not so we all would be in a worse off state. There’s no criteria stating who suffers or who doesn’t, who gets born white or red or black, who falls sick and who dies. We are all broken people and we need God to put us back together again. Our pieces lie flung far and wide from where we were scattered and we need God if we are to be whole again.
Forget the ills you’ve suffered, leave behind your autonomy. Reach for His lifeline, experience God for yourself. Give Him another chance. The divine is as close as your heartbeat. You can find out for yourself.
