Why God’s Ways are Mysterious to Us
10/28/08 Insights from Study We can be forgiven over and over. We have been assured everlasting life with God, despite the sins we commit. If we never from this day forward lift a finger for someone else we are still worthy to inherit the kingdom of God as children of God. How are these things possible? They’re possible because of the nature and perspective of God and the fact that neither resembles the order of things the way we as human beings see it.
In our world A = B; if you add or take away from either A or B, you must alter the other side accordingly. This isn’t so with the Almighty. In God’s eyes there is only one letter, call it “A” if you like. “A” is timeless, immeasurable, infinite, complete, unchanging. “A” just is – God just is, and His plan is in place.
The reason why we strive and worry and place life events like pearls on a string is that our human perception is not the same as God’s. God sees all as a whole picture; we see it as a puzzle we are striving to someday complete. To God, existence is an infinite state without beginning; to us life consumes us in regret, uneasiness, and fear as the faulty concepts of past, present, and future confuses us.
God wants us to enjoy existence and has graced us with this state – it’s our faulty, tunnel-visioned way of seeing things that keeps us from existing in seeking spirituality until death separates us from our bodies and eventually forces perfect joy on our spirits.
This is all part of the plan of reunification of our awareness with God’s consciousness. It already exists and is yours to enjoy in the measure that you allow yourself to witness it – call it heaven on Earth if that helps you envision. Ask God for better perception so you can aspire to what you would experience if the veil between you and God did not impair your vision.
