Tinker
When did you first realize that your mind and flesh also touched your spirit and you had a lot more to you than even you thought was there. I muster been very young when I started feeling very good about the possibility of my life. That I was not limited to live a life time of servitude, jailed, and sentenced within the limitations of my body, that in fact dies. That somehow luckily I felt the vast openness of our universe stretched before my spirit that if I could learn to improve my attitude in our life as we were living it, that I too could feel the true spirit of Gods divine attitude.
When
I was in church as a very young child I look around to soak in the meaning of
what the Statues, Paintings, and Alter meant to people much older than myself.
And of course over time I was told about all of that. That the building called Church
are a place for us to show God our sincere respect for what God did for us, his
creation. To simply love God as best we can.
Over
the years walking over to Church became less and less of something that I did, until
finely I hardly ever went at all. Not so much because I changed my feeling
about the spirit of God but that I never really needed to keep going to church
to feel my love for Jesus Christ. The Son, God the father, and Holy Spirit. Because I felt that emotion very clearly all by
myself now wherever I was day or night.
I felt that God was with me, I caught on.
I
had nothing against the thousands of other people who still like walking over
to Church to gather together in the tradition to honor God, and show the Holy
Spirit their sincere respect and love. I thought that was just great that the
people felt like that and kept doing it. But I just did not need to go there
anymore because I also now understand the spirit of God without going to
church. I felt like God was with me now everywhere I went.
So
I went around laughing gladly within my own emotion feeling like that I was a very
lucky person also.
Somehow
I understood that Gods word became flesh in Jesus Christ, and that in fact the
Holy trinity was in reality very real, just as real as you and I. So off I went
into living my life with every step that I took, even when I took God love for
granted. I did understand God magnificent divine attitude and I was like a rich
kid who inherited the earth.
When
we know that we are truly loved there is not much more to say, I just let it go
at that.
God loves me because God made his spirit into flesh, in his
son Jesus Christ, who preached wherever he went. Telling us that in spite of
our sins that God is merciful. And still want us to love God with our own free
will. That our sins were getting us nowhere fast, ruining our moment with God,
that God created us for our sake with his divine attitude. That a lot of people
did not really believe that God even existed, much less loved God, because we
did not understand what a real spirit is, or what a spirit looks like, or we
lacked the imagination to understand God at all.
That
there is a vast universe of reality that is not flesh and blood but a spirit
that we simply have never traveled to yet. And that we can only get there with
our spirit after our body's goes back to the dust from where it came.
Because
we did not believe in what we could not see, or understand. That all the people
with a free will were wasting their moment in God creation sinfully harming
yourself, and others. Wasting what magic life we had to live on foolish sinful
desires, and crazy behavior.
But
for the people who was touch by God grace became instead the people who could
sing out in unison feeling the divine attitude of God together, for each other
sake, relaxing in God internal love, healthy, alive, free.
That
last word attracted me the most to Jesus Christ and his father God. “Free.” Free
to be who we are living out our lives in our own story and able through God
grace to overcome our body's limitations. To advance further then even we
thought we could, because of God divine attitude.
The
Cathedral of God church is everywhere if we can only be willing to go there
with him, with our own free will. With Jesus Christ divine attitude, and my own
free will? I simply chose to love God back somewhere along the line when I was
younger, what seem like now a long time ago.
So
as I looked at the Pope publicly canonized two other Popes as Saints on
television, I guess that it must seem very easy for other people to think that
all those catholic people are truly simply crazy. But I don't feel that way at
all. Because I too have been touch by God Holy Spirit and have always
understood those people feelings, who cry sad tears of joy as they too feel God amazing grace.
God
still love everyone even sinners and non-believers that don't feel that way
too.
The rest is all up to us?
Pope Francis
makes history with dual canonization of Pope John XXIII, Pope John Paul II
VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis declared his two
predecessors John XXIII and John Paul II saints on Sunday before hundreds of
thousands of people in St. Peter's Square, an unprecedented ceremony made even
more historic by the presence of retired Pope Benedict XVI.
