A Message from God

Ok, folks, this is God at the keyboard, and I have a few things to tell you.

More and more religions and ignorant people continue to make outrageous statements about me and what I want, so it is again time for me to set the record straight. I am using a set of hands happily placed in my service for this message, and I’m using the Internet as My medium because this is where you are.

Now heed My words.

• I gave you free will. Use it. Ask questions. Explore. Trust your instincts. Question authority. See for yourself.~
• When you are willing and you open yourself to Me, you become my hands, think my thoughts, feel my feelings. You know when you do this, and you know when you refuse to do this. You are not compelled to open yourself to Me. You can choose to be disconnected and experience your life from that place.~
• Do not search in some moldy old book for me. You will not find me there. I am here, now, closer than your mother, closer than your lover, closer than your heartbeat, You will never capture me in words.~
• Open your heart, stop trying to explain me or picture me, and you will know that I am there. I am the Presence that is there when you cease trying to find me and simply see, simply feel, simply be.~
• As one of you has observed, if your minds were simple enough for you to understand them, they would have to be so simple that you could understand nothing. Yet you still persist in trying to use your minds to understand Me.~
• I am the heart and soul and consciousness that enfolds and embodies the universe. Why do you try to explain Me, One you can never truly know or comprehend, to others?~
• You claim to know Me, yet all the while you don’t know your own child, your own spouse, your own mind, your own heart. In my body, you are but a tiny mote, a minuscule part of a single cell in Me. I contain you, I contain reality itself, but you can never contain, never be aware of more than the tiniest spark of me within you.~
• You sometimes call that spark of Me life, you sometimes call it awareness, you sometimes call it many things, but the most important aspect of Me is love. How can you say you know anything of Me if love does not rule your heart? If you must choose between love and belief when opening to me, choose love.

• Following the rules doesn’t always make you good. Breaking the rules doesn’t always make you bad. It depends on the rules. Live in love, and you can do no evil.~
• Don’t believe everything you read about me. I do not demand that you spend your life trying to please me. I do not and never have condoned the slaughter of innocents, despite what some of the Old Testament stories say.~
• I am not jealous, I am not possessive, I am not needy. I am to you a good parent. Good parents give their offspring the tools they need, then set them free to find their own way, their own destiny.~
• I am not God the torturer. Forget the lake of fire. You individually and collectively provide yourselves with hell. You need no help from me.~
• Your sacred writings say God is Love. This is true. Hate in any form separates you from Me.~
• If you must have some rule to follow, remember this: Act from love and compassion and you’ll be a better person than you will be if you simply follow rules and do what you’re told.

• To those of you who say “I asked God to do this thing & He didn’t do it, so there’s no God,” I say, “Do you know what kind of arrogant little jerk you come across as? What am I, room service? If you ask me to jump, do you want me to say ‘How high?’ Get over yourself.”~
• Just because I don’t do as you ask simply because you ask, that doesn’t mean I don’t manifest in your life. Who do you think inspired “You can’t always get what you want, but sometimes you’re gonna find you get what you need?” Think on that. Listen for my messages. I still speak to you. To hear, first you must listen.~
• There are those who promise you rewards and threaten you with awful punishments in my name in order to try bend you to their will. Do not be deceived. They know me not. They make mockery of Me and My love for My children.

This part is for the religious among you who seem to think I owe you favors because you worship me:

• Worshiping Me doesn’t make you any better than anyone else. I don’t award special status to anyone just because they believe I exist. Do you think I need you to believe in Me, to be subservient to Me, for any reason? It is not I who need you.~
• Worshiping me is not a business deal. There is no guaranteed payoff for being subservient to me and doing what you think I want, and there is no guaranteed punishment for ignoring me. Free will means freedom to choose. You have that freedom.~
• If you follow church rules and do as you’re told out of hope of future reward from me, don’t expect Me to be impressed. Being good doesn’t spring from actions motivated by hope of some payoff.~
• If you avoid doing wrong or evil things out of fear of future punishment, don’t expect Me to be impressed. Being good doesn’t spring from fear of being punished for some behavior you secretly want to do.

• Therefore, if you worship me out of desire for advantage or reward for doing so, or out of fear of divine retribution for not doing so, then don’t expect me to think well of you. I save my real approval for those who act from love, kindness, and compassion with no thought of personal gain or advantage. Loving is its own reward, and requires no action from me.~
• I will not fight your battles for you. I will not kill your enemies for you, for your enemies, too, are my children.~
• I have given you everything you need to live in this place. If you learn to live in harmony, you can make your world a paradise. If you continue to live as you are living, you can continue to create hell on Earth. You have free will. The choice is yours, individually and collectively.~
• No matter how much you flatter me, entreat me, plead with me, I will not take sides in your small-minded, hate-driven conflicts. If you wish there to be more love and less hate, more good and less evil in your lives, then love more, do more good, and hate less. Your fate is now in your hands, not mine.~
• I love you and wish you well. Make good choices.
