The Meaning of Life with Dr. Bob

I often monitor the word “deserve” on my Twitter stream. When watching I never see people say they deserve good things from God. They always emphasize that we deserve negative things from God. Or they say that only because of God’s mercy are we not in more misery than we are.

Where are such pictures of God obtained? Oh, yes, I know. I lived through them; almost forgot. (Sarcasm) Parents and churches, mostly, teach that is only because of God’s mercy that we are not more miserable than we are. They say, “If God weren’t so merciful, a reign of terror would befall you because you are so bad.”

I am here today to refute what I see as nonsense. Someone or a group of people have set this figure in the sky as an exacting master who keeps a tally of every good and bad thing we do. Then metes out punishment in cruel ways when we stray too far to the bad side of the ledger. So “I get what I deserve.” Such were the words of my step-mother, almost exactly. She was raised by a group of persons, called a church, that said that God was vengeful, just waiting to punish people for their sins. Keeping a keen eye open for opportunities to make life hell for people here on earth.

Then, if that were not enough, God made a special place for longtime, or big, sinners. It was called Hell, where people would literally burn in eternal penalty, and terrible the pain of it.

What utter nonsense.

The God I know, The Source of All That Is, has no need of a hell. For God as I know It is loving. Indeed, God is Love. Love does not punish in a way such as some think “we deserve it.”

True Love accepts all, forgives all. Moves on.

Yes, I believe there is such a thing as evil. I also believe that there is karma. The evil that we do comes back upon us in this life or in another reincarnation. But that is the nature of things. Karma is like 2 + 2 = 5. When we do good it comes back upon us as well, in this life or some other reincarnation. This is not retribution or vengeance; it is just the way things are constructed. If I put my hand on a hot burner, I will surely get burned. When I caress the cheek of an infant in affection or admiration, I am honored for that deed in this life or in another reincarnation.

I think it obvious that if you believe God cruel and vengeful, you’ll always be looking over your shoulder to see what is coming for you. What you have done lately that you will think deserves more misery to be placed in your life? Do you hear the hoof beats of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse bearing down upon you?

Whereas, when you know that God loves you just as you are, with all that you have done or left undone, you’ll be looking forward (not over your shoulder) to an ever brighter day spiritually. When you accept that God accepts you just as you are, the possibilities for growth are endless. What you deserve then is only the best. Not in some arrogant and grasping way, but in the way of love within you. Love for yourself and all who inhabit this planet with us. Set free, you are.

So, you need to understand from this day forward that The Source of All That Is loves you, Accepts you. Promotes your well-being. Wishes you experience only the best.

Today, cast off those thoughts of the horsemen riding you down. Live as if God loves you. For God does love you. If you had every confidence that you could always work in your own best interests, what good would you do today? Do it.
