I greet The Indwelling Purposeful Life.
Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is – Your God Is Too Small. This is the title of a book by J.B. Phillips. I’ve had a copy of this book for over 60 years, and never read it. I keep it above my computer, so I can see the title. The title said it all; the contents would only be a commentary. I was seeking through other channels for an understanding of the attributes of God; I choose to call, our Father. Due to the sick relationship I had with my dad growing up I had to forgive our Father and my dad. I’ve been able to accept some of my habits of thoughts and feelings that were of no value or harmful as defects. When I understood the word sin’s root meaning was missing the mark. I had done and still do too many “mark misses.” I realize we can never have too big a conception of our Father. Equally important is a “shelf” on which the unsolved perplexities may be left with confidence. Our Father is Love, and I’ve wrongly directed the power of love. It has either been turned in upon itself or given to the wrong things. The “awakening” called for practicing A.A.’s spiritual principles is a reversal of the wrong self-centered attitude, and so is passing its fruit on. I’m committed to read this little book, and to share its wisdom, one day. Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
