I asked myself this question not long ago: Where is God? Not ideas about God. Not biblical explanations about God. Where is God? Where can we find him, feel him, see him?The answer I discovered is this: To experience God with our physical senses, we need to seek him in a place that is not physical; not a building or a book, but rather in an abstract, yet divine place. That place is love. God is in love, because he is love. Seek genuine, loving friendships and you'll find God there. Offer others a genuine, loving friendship and you'll reveal God to others.
God is not discovered in the theories and theologies we talk about. The technicalities, perhaps. The head-knowledge, maybe. But the hands on experience of God is discovered in the practical, real-life relationships we build. When we build them with love, every time we meet one another, we stand in the presence of God.
God is Love
God is not a program. God is not a building. God is not a financial offering. God is not a pastor. God is not a pastor's vision. God is not a ministry. God is not a service. God is love. If you want to put God first, then let love be the guiding light in all you do.
Putting 'God first' in your life means putting love first. Put the way you love your family, your friends, your neighbors first in your life. Let love, in its active form, be first in your life. Do that and you'll always be putting God first, for God is love.
God is love and love is God. The two are the same Spirit at work in the world. You cannot separate them, for they are perfectly the same entity. Every time someone loves another person, that is God. Every time someone is moved to help another person, that is God. Every time someone chooses to lay their life down for another person, that is God. God is love. God is the Spirit that is moving people to do these beautiful heart-actions that we know as love.
Coming to the place where you fully accept that God is love results in breaking the mold religion has made for God to fit into. It liberates you, by pulling down the boundaries previously set up for God to play in. The alternative is to make Jesus fit into a mold that we control and define, but who wants that?
Well, not me, anyway.
