About God and the big bang

It may be true to say that, before the 'big bang' there was nothing, 
because nothing, in the sense of no-thing, 
is exactly what God is. 

God is the 'is' in existence.

Sundry God-thoughts

Speak to me, God, in the nooks and crannies of my life.

We are all made by God and for God. We are called by God to be who and what we are, person, son, daughter, sister, brother, wife, husband, mother, father, friend, colleague, team-mate; the list is endless. We are in relationship with each other. This is our calling, our vocation.

Sometimes we may feel adrift on the ocean of existence 
but always we are afloat on the life-raft of God's love. 
God knows, and therefore understands, every nuance of our nature.

There are times when I feel 
a frisson of fear,
but there's no place so dark
that God is not near.

A possibility

To all the problems that I see
the answer is humility.

This may not be true but I do like the rhyme,
Could it be true perhaps?
If I could work harder at it, it might solve some of mine!


Sundry chats to God

My being is within your being.
I am held as in a cradle.

I am only a speck of dust,
but I am your speck of dust
and therefore infinitely precious to you.

You are the God of love,
You are love.
Love is the fabric of the universe.

About creation, life and love

All creation is interdependent, related, connected.
"No man is an island"

We are as pebbles, 
tumbled and jostled in the river of life;
our rough and jagged edges gradually smoothed away.

God, you are the fabric of my being.
You are the language of love.

More sundry thoughts on God and us

God is the personification of love and truth.

Our bodies are the sacred shells of our souls.

We are all cogs in the great wheel of life. 
However small or faulty, we are, each one of us, 
intrinsically vital, unique and irreplaceable.

Cauterise and circumcise my heart.

You, God, are the all-pervading presence
of love, joy and peace.

Sundry thoughts on God and life

That we are all still imperfect,
and yet so beloved by God,
is proof of the all-encompassing compassion of God's grace.
Let us be dignified and humble in that knowledge.

Our bodies should be the servants of our souls 
and not the masters.

To raise the lowly and humble the proud 
are equal acts of love 
in God's sight.

God wants to be our comforter.

God is the ultimate dimension
which surrounds and enfolds all of space and time.
