Short and sweet

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, There was some rain today. Sometimes I look at the facebook comments and I am saddened by the negativity. I often regret looking at the comments. It hurts my heart. Where does all this come from? God are You happy with this? Is it really true that empty barrels make the most noise? Is it that the people with more sense do less talking and more thinking and more listening? God I figure that You appreciate a gentle voice, a soft heart, a quiet smile and a wise mind. Make me that type of human. What I wish for myself, I wish for others. Make us all voices of hope and togetherness. Make us all problem solvers. Make us all voices of reason. Make us...

Knocking on heaven's door

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 read something online and it has me thinking about what it means, "Prayer is the key to heaven but faith unlocks the door". I do not understand the analogy. Maybe I do not understand the relationship between faith and prayer good enough. Gemini asked me to forget the analogy and in my own understanding, say what role does prayer play, and what role does faith play in that connection? To me, prayer is talking to God and building a relationship between me and God. Faith tells me that God exists and that I can pray to Him. Based on the analogy someone can pray and do everything required to get into heaven without faith. Unless faith i...

Staying grounded

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 111am. Today I learnt how to say God in BSL (British Sign Language). It is using one or two hands and taking the index finger like an arrow and pointing to the sky while saying the word God. I was searching for "God sign" and came across an emoji holding a sign that says OMG. OMG is common internet lingo and stands for Oh My God. Then ODG using the letters of God could be Oh Dear God. Then I learnt that ODG stands for Off Da Ground and was a music collective that Fuse ODG was a member of. I like how even the word Ground has the letters G o d in it and it also spells God run as in run to God. Which leads me to stay grounded. We ...

The taste of humility

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 111am. I am reading back some of what I wrote before in previous chapters. I glanced at the top of my screen and the time was 119am and the battery percentage was 23%. Back to reading. I decided to choose the 23rd word on the 19th page and I got far. To me the word far is very close to the word fear. Far could stand for fear and respect. I prefer respect over fear or rather the type of fear that translates to respect. I respect Your power. I respect Your guidance. I respect Your rules. God I have the most amount of respect for You. I am humbled by Your greatness. I should write about humility. It is funny that I am now writing about humi...

Time is a great teacher

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 1234am. Again I fell asleep without bathing. The plan is to cool off now while writing this and then go bathe and then pray. But what to write? There is scien(t)ific stuff and robo(t)s and (t)echnology and what the future will be like. I noticed that the only common letter among the words pas(t), presen(t) and fu(t)ure is the letter t. I guess t is for time. The letter t is the 20th letter of the alphabet. I have reached the 20th surah of the Quran in my reading called taha. The translation of the surah title is unknown to us. Do not mind me. I am just brainstorming. Time = experience = hindsight = 20/20 vision. Time is a great teacher. ...

Life is like a box

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 707am. Yesterday I had a thought that once you start moving towards God you start seeing God in everything. It becomes a focal point. It becomes your reason for everything. Your heart is content. Your mind is clear. It gets better. I look through the window and I see the clear blue morning sky. You woke me up. I am here for another day. I am grateful. I want to share my thoughts with You and any readers I have through my writing. I think the words I have to give are good and wholesome and of benefit. A benefit for the writer and the reader. Earlier I was thinking. What if we were given a box and we are told to put all the things we want ...

The shape of faith

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 101am. I slept and I am awake now. Today I have some cleaning to do. What do I write about? That is the question. I came across this abbreviation that I think is cool. I remember coming across it before. It is G>∧∨ which stands for God is greater than my highs and lows. It is mathematical and geometric and I like it. Looks even better with a geometric G. Something like this <┐>∧∨ except imagine the first two symbols closer together to form a geometric looking G. Very ancient looking too. Also covers all the cardinal points of a compass. In any direction God is there. God, You are with us all the time, the past, present and future, thr...
