One of my best, original thoughts regarding God…

Ever notice how two people have a difficult time discussing God? I figured out why.

Let's pretend I meet a grown woman that has two grown siblings. They're all in their 30's. All raised in the same house, eating the same meals, went to the same school, raised by the same father, and all turned out completely differently as adults.

I ask her, "Did you have a good father?"

"He's the BEST ever!", she enthusiastically replies.

The next thing I do is gather all 3 siblings, but put them in separate, soundproof rooms.

I ask each of them to describe how their father treated them.

First one says, "He never once punished me. I guess it was because I was an honor student, kept a job after school and helped out at home."

Second one, "He was like my best friend. I've always been shy and introverted, and Dad went out of his way to compliment me and build my self-confidence."

Third one, "He was always getting in my grill! I was constantly grounded, he would confiscate my iPhone and was soooooo strict! Fortunately, I started maturing during my senior year of high school and Dad did a 180 flip. I hadn't realized how kind he actually was until I earned his praise and respect."

All love their father unconditionally. He, being a good father, raised and treated them differently. All three share different experiences regarding their relationship with their father.

My "Aha!" moment came when I realized we don't seem to have ENOUGH faith in God's ability to give each of us what we most need. Our relationships with God are SUPPOSED to be different!

Would God EVER turn away one of his children, regardless of what country/religion your were raised in?

I can't even imagine that. I believe that anyone who truly seeks God will not have much difficulty finding Him.
