The missing peace

This is another page from my ninth book called "Dear God". I was inspired to write this book after writing "I am voting for God" on my blog. It continues in that format. Short letters (or prayers) to God. It gives me an opportunity to write more and write to God at different moments in my life.

Dear God,

It is 212am. I drank a cup of water and I sit in the quiet of the night writing to You. I had a dream and part of that dream was me telling how I had found God and how that helped me. What does it mean to find You? I think it means You were missing, You were missing from my life even though You were always there all the steps of the way. And just like that it started raining at 223am for a brief moment. I can hear the raindrops on my galvanise roof.

I was lost and I found You. It was not an overnight mission for me neither is it a task that is complete. It took several years and small and gradual steps to reach this point where I can say that I found You. Where did I find You? You were everywhere but I had to open my eyes. I had to open my eyes and mind and heart to Your presence. Looking back on it, it is as if part of me was missing. An important part. Like a missing compass. How do I ensure that what is found is not lost again? I think continued prayers is the answer. Prayers as reminders that You are there and that You are listening.

I found this quote and it resonated with what needed to be said in this last paragraph. It goes, "the best way to find love is to find God". We are all really looking for love. And what better place to go to for this love than You. You are the source of all love. You are the source of all things. It makes sense to seek love and connection with something greater than ourselves firstly. You know us better than we know ourselves. It is 302am now and I can hear the rain again. Through God's love we can find the missing piece of ourselves. The missing peace for ourselves.

Love lives forever

This is another page from my ninth book called "Dear God". I was inspired to write this book after writing " I am voting for God " on my blog. It continues in that format. Short letters (or prayers) to God. It gives me an opportunity to write more and write to God at different moments in my life. ___________________ Dear God, I am up early again. I was thinking about the wind and how much I love cool breezes especially having grown up in the tropics. We cannot see the wind but we can see and feel the effects of the wind. Just like God. We cannot see God but we know that You are there from observation, thinking and experience. I looked at the word wind and saw that if I flipped the w to m, I got mind. We cannot see our mind but we know it is there. If I join m and ɯ I can fashion an infinity symbol ∞. I also notice that all 3 words (3 being a sideways m or w) contain the letters i and n exactly in the middle. Inf-in-ity, w-in-d and m-in-d. I am thinking that there i...

Peaces of paper

This is another page from my ninth book called "Dear God". I was inspired to write this book after writing " I am voting for God " on my blog. It continues in that format. Short letters (or prayers) to God. It gives me an opportunity to write more and write to God at different moments in my life. ___________________ Dear God, It is cloudy, rainy and wet outside. The birds are chirping from tree to tree. They are looking for their daily meal I suppose, despite the conditions. I am resting in a corner writing to You. There is nothing special I want to write. It is Sunday. Life needs the rain to grow. I am thinking that growth sounds like a contraction of "God wrote". I am thinking that God wrote our life stories. Each story, a tree rooted in Your love with branches that reach for the sky. This is God's will for us. Make me grow into someone that is pleasing to You. A gentle soul that is full of love. Someone who is full of hope. Someone who is good. Som...

We are only human

This is another page from my ninth book called "Dear God". I was inspired to write this book after writing " I am voting for God " on my blog. It continues in that format. Short letters (or prayers) to God. It gives me an opportunity to write more and write to God at different moments in my life. ___________________ Dear God, I have been thinking about infinity. It is an interesting concept. It all started today when I watched a math video involving the axiom of choice. We say that You are infinitely powerful. But what does this mean? Infinity means that there is no end. Infinity is not a state. Infinity is not a noun. Infinity does not exist for us. If something is growing or moving without ever ending (perpetual) then it has the quality of being infinite. When discussing infinity we can use precision and limits to wrap our minds around the concept. I am wondering if anything that requires infinity can be refashioned to use a loop? 0 to 1 and back to 0. Two states...

Seeking the light

This is another page from my ninth book called "Dear God". I was inspired to write this book after writing " I am voting for God " on my blog. It continues in that format. Short letters (or prayers) to God. It gives me an opportunity to write more and write to God at different moments in my life. ___________________ Dear God, This will be 25 chapters already. It is so easy when I write to You. So easy when I write from the heart. I notice that the word our is in the word journey. This is our journey. We are never alone on our journey. You are always there with us. Through the good and the bad. Give thanks. 273 days ago I tweeted "God keep me humble on this journey". You did not give up on me and I did not not give up on You. I keep calling on You to guide me, protect me and have mercy on me. I searched for the 273rd word of this book and it was the word shine from the sentence, "Please shine Your light and mercy and goodness on my world and the world...
