Question For My Father
YOU said:
"the one who seeks finds."
YOU wove the tapestry of the world in unimaginable beauty so that our minds cannot comprehend a single piece of the power that took to do it.
YOU spoke worlds into being and our places in it.
YOU gave us life.
YOU gave us ability to do or undo what YOU did, and when we messed up this beautiful tapestry beyond a shadow of its former state, YOU took us gently into YOUR being and allowed us to try and make it better.
YOU gave us Courage.
If YOU only feel LOVE, does any of what we do on this earth really exist, for if it does, does it also seep into your being and bring what we know as pain to YOU, or does YOUR LOVE transcend that because it is not real?
Is this world a fluid dream, and all that is happening a part of the dream?
Are we safe in HEAVEN with you, and if so, why would we chose to have a dream so filled with hate, destruction, and unimaginable pain, then resist awakening from it?
YOU gave us Choice
If YOU do not allow horrific things to affect YOUR children, then we, in our selfishness, must be doing it to ourselves. Therefore, we can also undo it.
YOU gave us Clarity.
Oh, sorry, now I know FATHER. Thank you for listening.
