Like God

I know you are saying to yourself "us like God?" I say a hearty yes to this! We are to be the God in flesh to those around us. We are to be like Jesus! (Remember, Phillippians 2?) We need to realize the freedom found in the love of God! That the old rules, the old constraints of legislation, are gone and we are free! God fills us up more and more, not because we keep rules, but because we begin to see that God is everywhere we go! We begin to see that God is a living, breathing, moving spirit, that is present with us at all times! What a freeing thought! What a freeing reality! God has entered your life!

Whenever, though, they turn to face God as Moses did, God removes the veil and there they are—face-to-face! They suddenly recognize that God is a living, personal presence, not a piece of chiseled stone. And when God is personally present, a living Spirit, that old, constricting legislation is recognized as obsolete. We're free of it! All of us! Nothing between us and God, our faces shining with the brightness of his face. And so we are transfigured much like the Messiah, our lives gradually becoming brighter and more beautiful as God enters our lives and we become like him.

2 Corinthians 3:16-18

God is not that big statue made of stone sitting somewhere up in the heavens. God is not the "cosmic bellboy" and if you give him enough tips, do enough right things, follow enough of the rules, you get what you want. God is a personal presence! God is living! People who live like God who have been and realized the presence of God - people who actually practice this presence - they are full of joy that just radiates off of them. They are transfigured and their presence is a wonderful one to have in the room with you. They bring peace and joy. They bring hope. They bring the awareness of God with them so that we all know God is there.

So today, and the rest of your days, become like God. Live a life that is free! Live a life that is full of joy, patience, kindness, compassion, love, and purpose. Become more aware of all the places that God is showing up and fill yourself up with God. Stop looking for where God is not, and start seeing where God is - this will fill you up with a personal presence and give you a peace that passes all understanding.
