Why Doesn't God Live Next Door?
Why doesn't God live next door? Why can't we see Him perform miracles every day? Why can't we see Him walk across His pool strolling through His big backyard, drinking some fruit juice and reading some of His favorite Bible selections? Why is God's address unknown and His phone number is not a public 800 number?
Can you imagine the crowds that would be gathered at His door looking for healing? A blessing? Answer to prayers? Can you imagine the problems that could cause the local authorities and neighborhood? And who would want to leave God's door with His being able to feed all who come? Heal any illness? Raise the dead?
So what has God done? He has invited us all to a life with Him in a place where there is no one in need of food, healing, or much more than what He lovingly provides all the time in his eternal kingdom. You just have to pass the time from now to then. Believe and receive.
Of course, God knows you will need things until then. He provided a great big world full of good things for us His created children. But our cousins have sold rights to the hunting grounds, farmland, and groves to certain cousins that could afford to buy them once they were "liberated" from our free use... Obviously more than the Native Americans weren't too bright with their more educated cousins!
Now God knows we've been bad managers of our gifts from Him. So He sent His Son to show us how to live in the results of our "sins" in a more prayerful, loving way so God might Bless us with His Grace and Gifts of the Holy Spirit so we are no longer dependant on the remains and scraps left from our earlier gifts that our "not so good" cousins give us for our work.
If only God lived next door I am sure a lot of us, I included, would like to complain about some of the cousins and about how they have ruined our family life as humans so much we hardly know anyone who wants to be human. We might even want Him to take them away so we could live a better life with the good cousins.
Before I say your wish will be granted when you reach the eternal kingdom, let me remind you to think about your own treatment of your cousin the homeless family, the untreated mentally ill in the streets, the handicapped on welfare, and all the rest not as well off as you. Perhaps your own near cousin or close relative? Have you been the type of family you would want others to be with you if you were homeless, mentally ill,, handicapped or otherwise needy?
God forgives you as well as the more rotten cousins, they just "owe" Him more than you. Some peoples character flaws are more flagrant and less socially approved. God still waits for you back in Heaven to come to get the gifts He has already prepared for His children of Creation. He also still offers some help to get by until then...
Why not go to God and get some family time spent with Him telling Him all your heart? He is everywhere you can go and right where you are now. Say Hello. Start a relationship with our God the Creator of Heaven and Earth that can last forever...
