Imagine if God gave up all control and involvement in the creation. WE would be left to fend for ourselves without any involvement of any kind. Some would say that this is the deist position that God created the world and then left it to its own devices. How divisive and derisive that would be. We would suffer abandonment so would have an inability to attach to anyone as we would feel "unworthy". At the same time if God took over control and dictated or directed all things then we would be only "puppets on a string". God chose the middle and healthy and holy position to be involved but not absent nor controlling.
After seeking after as a "seeker" God, GOd provided a covering for their nakedness so that they could feel cared for and prepared for their new journey into.
I thank God for the covering of presence in all situations regardless of anything for God is love! I am loved. I am to be loving.
The wonder of love is wonderful.
About Me
- Don Paine
- I am a pastor and a clinical psychotherapist. My life's passion is defining healthiness from a human perspective and paralleling it to the holiness of God, divine perspective. Shifting perspectives creates a paradigm that is alongside of rather than over and against. The parakalein of God and the paradoxes of humanity are redefined. Humanity is all about winning and yet we are losing ground everywhere. Divinity is all about letting go of the desire to win and the fear of loss. The Divine embraces the world with loving care regardless of anything.
