Our Relationship with God

Our relationship with God is personal. It is not dependent on third party intermediaries, such as theologians. Truth is the theologians know no more of the true nature of God than you do. Your knowledge is innate, and does not need embellishment. If you understand the need to use metaphor to see God, you may imagine God in any form you wish. It is not idolatry. God's true form is unknowable. As such, all you have to do is find the working hypothesis that fits your understanding. Prayer is the way to approach God. It should not be a selfish, please make me important, type of prayer. God is inclusive and loves all life forms. Pray for your friends, relatives, pets, and anyone else in need. For yourself, ask for wisdom, courage, and love for all of God's creation. God will respond. You are God's child and he loves you unconditionally. He will not let you down. No matter how rough life gets, God will always walk with you. Don't let a theologian tell you otherwise. God's love transcends church dogma.
