A letter from God

By

Keith L. Anderson, Ph.D

What God would tell us if He were to personally write a letter to every adult in this country? Would each letter say something different? I imagine He, being a master of words, would include poetry. Being a God of wisdom and love, His spirit would flow through the letter like the waters which flow through the oceans and seas. Being our Father, He would be gentle and powerful, like the sun following the rain. God's letter would not contain a list of rules and regulations. God’s letter would focus on our dilemma. Because He is a God of love, the arrows in His letter would penetrate our hearts. His letter would contain more meaning than any letter any man, woman or child has ever received. God’s letter: 

      Like the distant sound of a train’s whistle my voice has faded from you, until I can no longer be heard. My restless voice comes back to me day after day, from lands and cities, counties and states. You have replaced me with a god of America, who masquerades as caring donkeys and elephants. All of your new gods were supposed to be capable of giving you, my people, new life. They have all failed to deliver on their promises. 

      These gods have blinded you with their hateful rallying cries. Can you not see the damage you are doing to your souls? Christian or not, America doesn’t belong to any of you. Like the sheep and cattle that walk about America, it belongs to the God who created her. Who is more qualified than I, to take her back? I made the birds to fly and

 the animals to be held in dominion by you. I made you all equal subjected to only me. The sun and the weather, which I created to fall upon the earth, also created  the colors of your skins. Yet, you use those colors to produce what you call races of people. Let's me make this perfectly clear, I created one race and called it the “human race”. I, the God of the Bible, cry with a heart heavy of love. You need my small still voice. But the cries of my people are too loud to hear Me. There is no “I” in “love”, there’s only I AM. I created you in and from love and you have strangled that love and produced hate. Hasn't your history shown how hatred will eventually bring down the mightiest of people, countries and armies? Why have you not learned from the past?

      I'm a God who values love and life. However, in your quest to dominate each other, you have portrayed me as a monetary god. You love money more than you love each other. Then you proclaim ignorance of how bad things happen. Does it not say in my word, the LOVE of money is the root of all evil?

      I’d like to take this time and echo some words from the wiser parents among you. I am only going to say this one last time. Fix what you have broken. If you cannot stop the crying and play together in a loving way, then I will have to give you something to truly cry about. 

With the same love I had when I created you, God
