Forget Punishment

God is all about love. God is about healing, forgiveness, reconciliation, and transformation, not about punishment. The founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, Bill W., often said, “Punishment never heals. Only love can heal.” Bill W. understood the Christian message. It’s not about punishment. It’s about love and healing. ~ http://girardianlectionary.net/reflections/ festivals/maundy_thursday_2013_ser/
God is all about love.
God is love itself.
God is about healing,
forgiveness,
reconciliation,
and transformation.
God is anything but
hellfire and damnation!!
God is not your conscience,
a resident policeman,
the small voice which
causing you to feel guilty,
too be unhappy before, during,
and after your rebellion.
God is not a tyrannical parent
reminiscent of Mommy Dearest
or the male equivalent.
God is not doddering, senile,
or geriatric.
God is not meek or indecisive.
God is our refuge and strength,
a very sufficient help in troubles.
but NOT a place to cower
and avoid the world.
God is not obsessed with punishing us.
God is all about love.
God is love itself.
God is about healing,
forgiveness,
reconciliation,
and transformation.
