Today thoughts about what I learned in Sunday School were running through my mind. Finally, I quit resisting and just let it happen.
Since I was raised by an adamantly atheist mother, it's odd that what I heard in Sunday School stuck with me at all. All of the spiritual seeking I've done has been based on what I heard at the age of 4. I believed it then and I believe it now. It seemed to me then and now that the God I wanted would be the way they described to me.
God is Love, they said. God loves us. God wants us to not be so selfish but understands we're not perfect. God forgives us. God wants us to love each other. God wants us to help each other - especially people who are down and out. Sick people, poor people, children. Even prisoners. God wants to help us but we have to let him.
