Your Own Answers

I like what someone said about the God issue.  This person was not all that certain or settled about "God."  But they did not want to be controlled.  This person wanted some help in finding their own answers about God.  Control would be where someone else tried to give you their answers or some organized religion's answers to God, as in dogma and catechism or scripture interpretation.  Someone else said that everyone who gives you their answer as the only answer, has a small God.  God is bigger than any one person's belief.  I think that in the search we can see how other opinions might fit us, but belief in someone else's God is somewhat second-hand.  Plus, once you develop some sense of your God, if you are into meditation, listening in some silence, then your relationship with your God will change, grow and shift over time.  I do not have a stale nor "yesterday" God.  It is always Presence even when I feel no presence.  Feelings can obscure this path.  Acceptance and patience are better guides.
