God’s Job

We have given God the wrong job description according to our wants.  We want God to fix stuff including ourselves at times.  World peace, climate change, poverty, suffering and so on, seem to go on and on.  “Where is God?” We ask.  Maybe God is doing God’s job, but not what we want.  What might be God’s job?  Giving us unconditional love and acceptance is God’s job, for each one of us.  “Is that all?” You complain.  Is that not a lot? Who else gives you such love?  Rare.  Being loved unconditionally no matter how we behave, might be tougher than world peace.  Just because you don’t feel loved in such a manner, does not mean that God is not loving you.  The mystics say that such love is so deep it is beyond feeling it.  That does not seem like much of a plus if we have to always feel things.  Faith for me is not so much that God exists, which is reasonable, but that God loves me unconditionally, which seems beyond reason, given how I act at times.
