Short Story: God is always a Loving God.

Bishop George Gertoid was giving his weekly sermon at his church. This week his talk was about God, entitled: "God is always a loving God." Here is what he said: "Fury, anger, rage, vengeance, violence, vindictiveness, enraged." "These are not the type of words that anyone would ever use to describe a kind, and infinitely loving person." "How then could anyone say that God is a wrathful God"? "God is all things to all people." "In a way, he reflects to these people what they expect to see. When the guilty expect consequences for their own actions, and something natural then falls to them, they often attribute this to coming about as a result of God's wrath." "God's loving patience allows freedom to evolve through itself." "God allows the instruments of that same freedom to make mistakes of judgement until wisdom is compiled sufficiently to allow them to be able to make better decisions, based on seeing into Love's truths through God, the perfect example." "God is not a vengeful, or wrathful God, at all. He waits patiently for you to return to him, forever. The end is never the end, because there is no time in which God will not accept you back into his kingdom. Once created, nothing is ever again destroyed." "Why is God so seemingly distant from us then?" "To feel God's love, you must give love." "This establishes a connection between God and yourself, and this is why it is important to have faith in the object of that love." "You will never feel God's love, if you don't feel this connection to him in some way. Connect to God by loving yourself, and when you do this, you will open up the God part of yourself, and connect to him in this way." "A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent." "This is a quote from that great English mystical poet, William Blake, (1757 -1857) sums up in a way, why people believe that God might be wrathful." "This sentiment is not true in the sense that truth must be always truth, but when you twist the truth with evil intent, it might colour the truth wrongly for another person, by linking truth to fear, rather than to love." "Truth must emerge directly from love, and not be hidden by fear. Truth must not be made to reappear from this limited form of distorted love in such a way that it is being coloured wrongly for that person, or for anyone else nearby, with any other non-loving emotions being attached." "God always gives out his truth in a loving way." "It is only ever us, the receivers of that truth, that can twist it, or distort it, and then blame God for the resulting conclusions that we might draw from what happens to us. God is not wrathful, we always create what we think is his wrath within ourselves, when we stop loving God sufficiently." "When God is loved from and with your whole person, his wrath is never seen, because really this wrath is just your own karma, coming back to you. "What you sow, you will reap," is a natural law that applies to all souls that are being unloving through their own freedom of choice to be like that." "God is a god of loving compassion." "Any wrathfulness comes from within our own selves. Look for love in everything that happens to you, and you will always find it." "Love is behind all things. God is behind all things. He never acts from anything but perfect love. God is not wrathful. God is only love."
