God Does Not Find Fault With Humanity
Most of us have been taught a “do good, get good theology.” If you behave really well, God will bless you and your life will be happy. We have a sickness of certainty. A broken need to make sure we are following correctly. To forward the cause of ideologies and doctrines that keep us on top, number one and right when others are so wrong. This is why it's so damn important for you to read and be curious about what's going on in your own spiritual search. Open yourself up to wisdom. Don’t shut yourself off from the evolution of your faith. Yes! Read beyond the Bible. Think, pray, contemplate, question, seek mentorship, but for the love of God keep love the defining axe to grind on your journey. God is not looking for behavior militancy. He is not waiting on you to NOT have sex before marriage to bless you and not withholding love because you decided to smoke dope at a Billie Eilish concert. In fact, quite the opposite. The Divine does not find fault with you. You are loved by God. No, I am not suggesting spiritual olly, olly oxen free behavior. As you learn to love you will no doubt mature, and that maturity will yield behavioral wisdom. Meaning, you won't act like a jackass so much. The big thing to hear is you must slow down long enough to hear your own heart and how it desires love and wants to love. Think about it. You look for love. You hope for love. You can't wait to give love. You pray for love. You long for love to never stop! Love drives you and that drive is the behavior we pin on the Divine, not the crazy ass doctrine of turn or burn. The only possible fault God could find in His creation is the willingness to overlook his love. You are not faulty. You are being called to “love.”
