SOME WAYS TO BE MORE LIKE GOD

 

SOME UNCOVENTIONAL WAYS TO BECOME MORE LIKE GOD

See potential – not weaknesses, not flaws, not error.

See silver linings – not storm clouds, not the darkness, not the cold, not the tempest.

Focus on what can be – not what could have been, not what went wrong,

not where things went off the rails, not who’s to blame, not why things went awry.

See things working out, they eventually will, they’ll come together,

they’ll transition into something good – be patient.

Root for the underdog, the orphan, the disadvantaged, the underprivileged,

the deprived, the needy, the poor, the sinner, the ‘least of these’.

Encourage without qualification, without recompense, without expectation, without remuneration.

Love because it’s the right thing, it’s always right the right thing to do,

it will always produce the best results, the choicest outcome, the finest outcome.

Forgive whether deserved or not, without limits, without condition, without a prerequisite appeal.

See a flower in a seed, a forest in an acorn, an ocean in a raindrop,

a star in a spot of glitter, a galaxy in a speck of dust – see greatness all around.

Envision safe passage through a sea on dry ground, feeding thousands with a few fish and

loaves of bread, the wind and waves obeying His words, the afflicted and transgressors healed.

Understand that agency (not force) opens the way for the most progress,

the grandest accomplishment, the most opportunity, the greatest triumph.

Want joy and happiness, redemption and life for all of God’s creatures, every person,

every creation, every intelligence, every friend, every foe.

Align all contingencies for the best possible outcome, the best potential result,

the finest consequence, the most glorious, perfect conclusion.

See the possible in the impossible – not the probable, not the maybe, not the lucky –

see the possible becoming the probable and eventually the reality.

Believe in others – when others don’t believe in themselves, when you’re not even sure of yourself,

when you don’t even believe in yourself – believe contentedly, confidently, boldly.

Choose the right, be exactly accurate in goodness, confident in righteousness,

unapologetic for virtue, unbending in decency, and repent quickly of less than accurate choices.

Have unshakable faith, immovable and unyielding faith, unquestionable and steadfast faith, indisputable, uncontestable and irrefutable, perfect faith.
