Ah, I see what you mean. Thanks for your response. I've always had a kind of intuitive imaginative idea of what God is like, but I was always afraid that He was something else.
I see God as the person who will be waiting for me when I die. I feel like our soul before we are born is like a neatly stacked pile of paper. Then the very second we are born those papers and thrown up into the air. As children we have to pick up what we have and run with it. Life is a speeding roller coaster and so we must go with the flow. I feel like we are supposed to take those sheets and find their proper order. Some have stains all over them, some are missing chunks, and some are simply lost and so we must start from scratch. I feel like it is our job to refine and perfect our soul like this through Good, Virtue, and love for others. We must ultimately bind those papers permanently into a book. When we die, we hand God our book and we ask "What do you think? Was it what you expected? Did you like it? Did it disappoint you? Are you proud?"
No matter what his response, I would thank him for this opportunity to live on this crazy and mysterious planet.
Thank you again. I gained a lot of clarity from this.
