Dear
God:
Remember
You told me that You loved me unconditionally and that You would never
turn
Your back on me; that You'd be there no matter what?
I remember You telling me those things.
So how come there are people out there that are telling me You
will turn Your back on me? Why
would You do this if You loved me?
They say if I do certain things, You'll punish me and send me to
Hell. Why would someone
want another to experience Hell if they loved that person?
How is that unconditional love?
What
is unconditional love; what does that mean?
The dictionary says it means without conditions or reservations.
Some religions say that is what it means and that You love us
unconditionally. Yet, they
turn around and say if we choose "wrongly" You'll send us to
Hell or Purgatory or some place other than Heaven.
This doesn't make any sense based on the definition of what
unconditional love is. Because
for You to love us unconditionally, which You do, that means we can do
anything we want to — and You won't do a damn thing about it.
You won't send us to Hell; You'll just love us.
You won't send us to Purgatory; You'll just love us.
You won't make us repent; You'll just love us.
You won't send us to our rooms — oops, sorry, got You confused
with my parents. You love
us unconditionally, without expectations.
Of
course, I do know there are consequences for my actions; they’re just
not what a lot of people think.
What
would the world be like if everyone loved the way You do?
For just one day a week? Forget that, how about just six hours,
one day a week?
Society
is so smart and remembers really cool things about You, but then they
screw it up by adding their own limiting ideas to it, claiming that they
are Your "whishes." What
are they afraid of?
I
think some people are afraid if they let go, they will lose the power
they have. Only the power
they have is power over others. And power over others isn't nearly as
powerful as the power of God inside themselves.
Why
can't they remember?
Thank
You God for loving me just the way I am,
Julia
