Get the Picture?
Ξ April 9th, 2008 | → 3 Comments | ∇ Life |
Here’s the second article that I’ve pulled from my files. Once again it had no author attached to it. But, it is a very good article. Enjoy!
If we believe that God expects us to measure up to His expectations, then we will expect others to measure up to our expectations. After all, fair is fair. We only do to others what we think God does to us.
But are we seeing things clearly? Or has our perception of God been tainted by years of poisoned teaching? Do we really have a good understanding of the character of God? Or have we, out of weary exasperation, forced the puzzle pieces together in a way that reveals, but severely distorts the picture? Our actions/behaviors are inherently linked to our picture of God.
Sometimes, an honest look at the way we treat other people will give us a more realistic glimpse of our view of God. Do you like what you see? Want to improve your life? Then, improve your picture of God.
Stumble it!

I like that. I’m agnostic on almost every doctrine across religions, but our core theology is so, so powerful on how we live this life. That’s where my interest lies. Thanks for the article… whomever you are!

hi Don. greetings brother. thanks for all your comments on my blog. the above entry is very relevant to me as i am increasingly aware of how twisted my view of G-d is. i see you are currently re-reading CWG Book 2. you suggested i start reading the first one a while back and i MUST do that. i’m currently re-reading the celestine prophecies – it’s “old” in one sense but has some good observations & principles, i seem to remember. thanks for all your input and encouragement over the last couple of years. you are certainly part of my tribe – whatever that is. go well and blessings to you and your family. adios till later, russ @ liquidlight.

Redlefty- I have some more of these that are very thought provoking. Look for them soon. Thanks for reading and your insights.
Russ- I have read 7 of 9 of Walsch’s books. I believe that they are an important contribution to the tribe. You, likewise are an encouragement to me. Glad to be a member of the tribe! Blessings to you.
