MY GOD
I find the way the term God is being tossed around these days…
to be a disgrace, and embarrassment…a shame…
as horrible acts are being committed…perpetrated in God’s name.
Since I find many religions to be restricted by their ideology.
every now an then I like to take a moment…
and reevaluate what my spiritual God means to me….
My God lives within my heart…he helps to calm my soul
He offers me guidance on my journey…but allows me to take control.
She has given me the ability to decide what is right…and what is wrong.
She knows I’ll make mistakes and she knows the journey’s long.
He believes in love…he quietly lights my way.
He doesn’t care if a person is straight, transgender, bi, or lesbian or gay.
She doesn’t care if I am young or old…or overweight or thin.
She does not discriminate by the color of one’s skin.
He sees men and women as equals…strangers…as sisters and brothers
He urges me never to put one person in this world above another.
She believes in acceptance, hope and generosity…
She teaches these are the principles on which to live
that it’s not how much we take from life…but how much we give.
But nothing in this world will bring a broader smile to his face…
than knowing through kindness and love I’ve done my best
to make this world a better place.
She is filled with sorrow…her soul is filled with shame
when she sees people abusing others and hating in her name.
I’m sure my Gods has other lessons to teach regarding my faith and my belief…
but I promised them when I sat down…that I would make this brief.
I think the last thing they would wish for…is that wars in their name cease…
and through love and kindness instead of holy wars…we strive for holy peace.
If I can act with kindness and love…and do my best to treat everyone the same
then I’ve been told by my Gods…I can do so in their name.
