God is God

God is not a man.
He is not a pentecostal.
He is not a Baptist.
He is not Catholic, nor Church of Christ, nor Episcopal, nor any other religion.
God is GOD.
He does not change!
So why do we make him different for every religion?
Why do we change HIM to fit OUR needs?
Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Shouldn't we be changing ourselves to satisfy God instead of making rules and putting God in box so that he can fit into our lives?

God is not Caucasian.
God is not African-American.
God is not Indian.
God is not Asain.
God is not European.
God is not Middle Eastern.
He is love, and He loves every man.
God doesn't care about skin color, He cares about your heart.
So why, if God is God, do we say that He does not love certain races?

God is not poor, but He is not rich, neither is he middle-class.
God doesn't make Himself better than any one.
In fact, Christ Jesus, being in very nature God, made Himself nothing,
taking the very nature of a servant, He humbled Himself
and became obedient to death on a cross.

God is not a man.
He does not fail, He does not sin, He never changes.
But He IS love.
He is the beginning and the end.
He is the Almighty One, the Comforter, the Healer.
He is the Alpha and The Omega, the Beginning and the End.
He knows all, He is all.
He is the only way, He is the absolute truth, and He is the only way to life.
God is not like men, He is not something to be grasped.
The human mind cannot fathom the works of the Lord, nor anything in His plan.
God is capable of things that we don't even know are possible!

God is not religion.
He doesn't want rules or restrictions or classifications.
He wants love.  He wants a relationship with you, and the rest will come.
By walking with Him, we become like Him, and we don't need "rules", He will show us what is holy, what is of Him, what is right and wrong and what is truth and lies.

We get too focused on the details.
We get too focused on the wrongs and rights and do's and dont's.
Our eyes have gone astray, and we don't love God anymore.
We love the church and the religion.
Forget the stereotypes, forget the religion.

God is God.
And God is love.
