The God Experience

How can God be anything but love?  The core of all that is kind and good, the one and only Source of

pure love without blemish, the Author of all life, true beauty, and total unadulterated joy---He is all these things.  Evil exists only to show humanity how much everything and everyone is lacking, much as one dot, one period on a sheet of pure white paper mutilates the whole of it.  

Human beings, on the other hand, can only see and appreciate the awesome immensity and fullness of God because we have been gifted with being created in His image.  No more, less we deceive ourselves into imagining we are God or even godlike.  No less, so that we can see and feel and experience His magnificent love, strength, and care.  We humans are given the royal gift of choice (Shall we, or shall we not choose to love Him back?) so that we can absorb, connect with, and return His love. 

On this Thanksgiving, thanking God for all He is---the grandest and greatest of all experiences,
