Searching For God

I feel like I have spent most of my adult life sinning and than searching for God to find salvation. What about you are you secure in your faith or are you searching for God also? Are you a sinner looking for salvation, or a person of faith who is beyond reproach? Most of us I think are both.

Maybe even doubters and sinners are entitled to be people of faith. Could it be that it’s a matter of intent? Could it be that wanting to find God counts?

I have been searching for God in all kinds of places. I have looked for Him in organized religions, in the traditions of my parents, and in the teachings of many wise gurus. With years of practice in searching for God under my belt, I have decided that the search for God is a deeply personal thing. It is a quest whose journeys end will be dictated by using your imagination and awakening the deepest feelings of your innermost soul.

I have come to the conclusion that we can share the search, we can share our thoughts, but must each find their faith in God in our own way.

It’s a matter of perception. It’s a matter of how much you can use your mind and heart to determine your version of God. Many will tell you that there is only their way to God. Many will tell you that you have to follow a set format. But I believe you have to follow your instincts in your search for God. You must determine for yourself what God means to you.

We can share the journey, but it is you alone that can find the faith in God that you perceive that you are searching for – the God of your dreams.

In different perceptions of God, we can even share believing.

If you want to search together, come take my hand, but the God you are searching for is of your minds making.
