Dear God
8/29/2007 4:19:39 AM
Just A Note
Dear God,
I never wrote a letter to you. I always just talked to you and I have no idea why I’m writing this. Maybe, since you know everything already, it's to clarify my own thoughts. I know the world is full of “Theologians” who would think they have all the deep scriptural answers to my questions but to be frank with you I’ve about heard it all and I’m fed up with people who can’t even fix their own lives, trying to fix mine and the world around us with a bunch of religious goblety goop, legalistic demands and pious platitudes.
God this world is in an awful mess. I know you know it but isn’t there something you can do to override humanity’s stupidity and inhumanity to man and beast? I read ancient history and it isn’t a lot more barbaric than recent history, except swords have become bombs and men are still fighting wars and crusades for all the same wrong reasons. And we call ourselves civilized!
We abuse the earth, her creatures and each other. I think you must have sent the flood for less evil than you witness on this planet today.
Lord to be honest with you I know almost nobody, who is happy in their lives and in their primary relationships. Many people wouldn't know love or how to love if their very lives depended on it. Husbands and wives despise or just tolerate each other, children despise and ignore parents, parents abandon children. Political leaders aren’t fit to lead a pack of dogs and now we’re being asked to elect another one who will lie their way into office and break every promise once they are elected. Religious leaders worship the dollar laying heavy burdens and demands on the backs of others while they themselves live secret lives of privilege and debauchery.
God I’m just tired today, just bone weary with most everything around me and in me. If it wasn’t for the fact that I believe in you, I think I’d just like to drop off the earth today. If it wasn’t for the mercies you give me and the natural beauty that still enfolds and inspires me; the moonlight, sunshine, rain, flowers in the garden, geese on the lake a few cherished friends, I’d feel life was not worth much. Man is supposed to be the crown of your creation.....he's become the bane.
Well guess that’s about all the communication between us you and I can stand for today. I trust you, I know you are good, I know you are love and I know you know what you’re doing and that just has to be enough to give me joy and get me through.
With Love And Reverence,
Belle
