and unreasonable are certainly not the attributes of a HIGHER POWER that i can surrender my will and my life into the care of. yeah a bit clunky there, but it does sum up my feelings. the nice part, at least for me, is that on my spiritual path, GOD is just GOD and i do ascribe any human attributes or emotions to that concept. as i moved away from me tendency to “humanize” GOD, i got a freedom that thrills me to no end, today. IF i still carried around that anthropomorphic definitions i would be sorely tempted to be seeking an explanation for everything going wrong this morning as i got started with my day. as it is, i just accept that it was what it was and leave it at that.
i may have shared about this in the past but what i heard this morning goes back to a former sponsee and his difficulty in explaining the attributes and characteristics of GOD as he saw GOD. today, if asked, i would be put into a similar place, if i was asked to describe GOD as i saw GOD. all of those years of seeing GOD as my peers did, has left me with more than a few “battle scars.” i do not blame them, nor do i blame the program, even though readings such as this one, led me to believe that there was a singular path to spirituality, regardless of the ABSOLUTE FREEDOM spoken of in our literature. today i am content with living with a vague and nebulous understanding and i can walk in FAITH that if i am present, i will be given what i need. so it is off to the real world and into another day.
