Religion paints a picture of God like an angry controlling man with a whip in His hand where He beats His children to get them to act right. This is far from who He is. It literally breaks my heart to hear Him pictured to others like this. At one time I did see Him in this way until He showed me otherwise and brought me revelation to His character and most of all His heart. Does the Father correct? Yes He does. But we aren't on the whipping post. He was already on it for us and took it on our behalf. When He corrects He does so in love and with a heart filled with compassion and heartbreak for His children. Sometimes correction doesn't feel good and sometimes it doesn't look good either especially when He reveals truth to us in dark places. When He reveals that we have unforgiveness, anger, or bitterness in our hearts, when He reveals when we have not only hurt ourselves but we have also hurt others. Then there are the consequences to each and every action that we take whether good or bad by our own hands. (Reaping and Sowing) He gives free will and a choice. He uses EVERYTHING for our good and His glory. He wastes absolutely nothing. He turns our messes into masterpieces. Many don't like to view Him in this way because they think it shows a weak God. But He's far from it. My prayer is that every child of God will come to KNOW Him for who He really is. That we all be untangled and unraveled from what religion and the enemy has distorted to us and may we whole heartedly seek Him for ourselves so we can fully experience Him as Abba Father. It's time for His children to fully step into Beloved Identity.
