Thanks for the light

I believe there's a God. In fact, to be more specific, I believe there's One True God, a singlar power of pure goodness. However, I do not believe there's a Devil. Most people usually gasp disapprovingly at this 'selective' believing, insisting that if you believe in one manifestation, the other is a must. Like a bottle of wine and a wine opener, one cannot exist with meaning without the other. Don't get me wrong, I believe Evil exist. Evil, like Goodness, is a potential energy, a result of an act that people choose to do or an inclination of one's nature. I just don't think that there is a mystical individual who is the corporeal entity of Evil.

To me, God is a different story compared to those told by men. God is the creator, the watcher and the Judge in the court of appeals. God starts/create things and watches as it ends, as how all things must for new things to be begin. When we are at peace with it, we call it 'running its natural course'. When we are not happy about it, we call it 'bad things happening'. And sometimes, it's because the collision of humans' choices/decisions and nature's behavior just simply came to a head. It sucks but it is what it is.

However, I believe that whenever God intervenes, God only does so as the Judge in the court of appeals. In other words, when The Singlar Power of Pure Goodness intervenes, only good things happen and miracles are the result.

I know God exist because when things get bad, somehow something will happen, out of the blue and of a impossible mathematical possibility, that will shine a tiny light into the darkness. And that small ray of light sometimes is just enough for one to see the path, albiet full of rocks and hurts one's feet, but at least one notices the cliff one is about to walk over.

So whenever The Singlar Power of Pure Goodness intervenes, I give thanks for two things - thanks for reminding me that you are here and thanks for the light.
