If I Were God

I had to stop and think for a minute.

If I was god, if the shoe was on the other foot…so to speak…would I really agree with my point of view? Or would I just laugh at such half baked ideas? These inane arguments I put forth that struggle to make things the way I want them to be…would I really believe them, could I really believe them, should I really believe them?

I suppose…that some place in my heart, deep down in the bowels of my soul; I really know I am just trying to prove to myself…convince myself…that this is what God wants when it isn’t.

After all…God only wants what is really best for me.

I find myself embroiled in these squabbles everyday. I spend a tremendous amount of time and energy on legalistic maneuvering. But, I have learned from experience it is best not to win these arguments.

It is better…after all the kicking and screaming…to pick myself up off the floor, go to my room and cool off. Then do what my Father wants me to do.

Thank you Father God for being the father I need.
Amen.
