In the light of all that is miserable and good, I would like to talk about the attitude of self congratulation. Despite the fact that I am aware of myself and aware of you, I would like to call you my friend if that is possible. I am not a writer, nor am I a great human being, I am Mike and if that sends shivers up your spine I promise I'll keep far from you. This is not a manifesto, but a supplication to shut out the voices that I hear in my mind on a constant basis that goes something like this;
"Your Father never wanted you and despite the reaction he gave you when you scored your first goal, it was comical because what he really wanted you to be was a football player, and when you became one, it was your mother who encouraged you not your father." (It's good that I have a psychiatrist, because to analyse what I just said would take more than a witch doctor.)
Really, I think we all have father issues, it depends on who is your father. And if you are a Christian we have a heavenly Father who can pick us up when we fall. Let me discuss what that means. When I was a Catholic, I believed that Jesus and the Father were one and the same. It really left no room for the trinity. When I became a born again Christian, my definition of Jesus changed, He was now Lord and I was the servant.
My heart grieves at the fact that our identity can be misplaced especially if you have surrendered your life to the King of the Universe. It would be no less my duty and privilege to tell you that despite the way you feel right now and despite the way people have used you, give God another go. I learnt a really cool word recently it's Theodicy (hope I spelt it right.) What it means is that God is not responsible for evil, if you can picture a world that God is present in, this world and you can look around at all the wicked people and still question the justice of God, you might understand that even though God is who He says He is, He allows free will. And if he didn't allow it we would not be free to be ourselves. Look up the word Theodicy and see what google, or a really good dictionary says about it. You would be crazy to deny that WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR ACTIONS and our free will not Satan is the cause of our sin.
