Does God Keep A Tally Sheet?

God doesn’t keep the tally sheet of our lives, We do. Everything we have ever done or said is written on our heart, in our hand. Our lives though are an open book to Him who has all knowledge and power; fortunately He loves us unconditionally and if we are earnest, we are forgiven as soon as we ask. Now if we could only forgive ourselves so readily think how much trouble and pain we could avoid. So when struggling for any reason, let go and let God for He knows what AILs you, and He is Available, Intelligent and Loving.

Good For What A.I.L.s You

The path of enlightenment asks us “to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God’ with the proviso “as we understand Him.” This phrase is pivotal to the process, so the student must not take the easy way out. I have heard individuals refer to “God” as they understand Him as all manner of nonsensical things or objects; trees, doorknobs, etc. To wit:

Nonsense: n. 1. That which is without good sense; meaningless or ridiculous language. 2. Things of no importance.

To believe that “God” can be anything relegates god to being nothing in reality. “God is either everything or else He is nothing.” What is our choice to be? If you are struggling with the concept of a Power greater than yourself, you can start at a simple level. To truly set ones feet on the path to living on the Spiritual Basis God must be at least this: Available, Intelligent and Loving and nothing less. Available: to live on the Spiritual Basis requires daily visits with God in prayer and meditation. How is this possible if He is far away, distant or unavailable in any way? Intelligent: The Creator, the Architect of all that is, pretty much the epitome of intelligence. Loving: Here I would ask you to set aside any belief you may have of a vengeful Old Testament score keeper God. One of the keys to living on the Spiritual Basis is the truth that “the realm of Heaven is roomy, all inclusive. Never exclusive or forbidding to those who earnestly seek.” That God is never the author of trouble or sickness in our lives, His love boundless and unencumbered by human limitation.

Available, Intelligent and Loving, good for what AILs us.

Resigning From The Debate Team

God is not just truthful or brings truth but is Absolute Truth incarnate. Once we begin living on the Spiritual Basis, God translates from the relative to the Absolute, He is either everything or else He is nothing, there remains no middle ground. All those dinner table and coffee shop debates, though well intended, usually, lose all significance for now we know, we are either all in or all out. Having made the decision to turn our will and lives over to the care and direction of God, fear is supplanted by trust and faith. In the light of Absolute Truth we pause when doubtful “…and ask for the right thought or action. We constantly remind ourselves we are no longer running the show, humbly saying to ourselves many times each day Thy will be done.” To know the truth about any condition heals it for: “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free” (John 8:32).
