Poem
If I had to paint a picture of me loving God what would I see? would I see a portrait of a person who walks in truth and honesty? In order to paint a picture of me loving God I would have to access all the experiences that to me life did impart did I have a good relationship with my mom and my dad? was it loving and supportive or distant and sad? did I get along with my siblings? did we look out for each other? did we play and love each other like true sisters and brothers? were my needs being meet? did I ever learn to trust and believe? am I balanced enough to cope according to the lessons in life I've received? Multi-generational, familial or systemic social receptions all of this has played a part in my life perceptions we all have distortions in every aspect of our living we now must deal with the reality at this time we've been given was my life exactly as I remember? or are there things that I've repressed? are there issues that are buried inside me that now make me depressed? deep-seated anxiety, personal pain and high expectations feelings of inadequacy, destructive criticism and bouts of frustration we all have issues that we now need to bring out and discuss in order to have authentic relationships we need to have real trust we all have some brokenness that needs to be healed so that our full love for the Lord God can one day be revealed God is not distant like a CEO in the corporate tower God is not pressuring us with His omnipotent power God does not keep score He just watches over our souls God is fair and just and doesn't set for us high goals God is all embracing He nurtures, instructs and forgives He's kind, patient and loving in this life to us He did give So if I had to paint a picture of what it looks like for me to love God it would be a colorful canvas of emotions, perceptions and reflections from my heart
