God is loving not terrifying.
ABOUT THE TOPIC:
You are only aware of the people who are directly responsible for providing and caring for you. But during all these times and thousands of other times that you are not even aware of, you are helped, protected, and cared for by Existence, by ie cosmos, by the universal energy.
You always think that whatever was given to you was either because you deserved it or because it was an accident. When you start seeing and feeling the invisible hand of Existence taking care of you, you will understand that you are wanted hereby Existence. Only then you will understand that you are being showered upon continuously by Existence.
The fact that you are alive is enough to show that Existence wants you here and cares for you. It is only when you don't understand this, you feel dull and depressed and keep asking as if you are the most deprived person in the world.
If you listen from your being to what is said hence, you will be able to tune yourself and become sensitive to the wonderful giving ways of existence!
GOD IS LOVING, NOT TERRIFYING
Most of us pray with fear to God. You can see mothers telling their children that if they don't do certain things, God will get angry with them. These statements take root in the child at a very young age, and give them a wrong concept of God. This is the conditioning that you give your child at an early age. When they grow up, they face serious dilemmas because of this. Instead of embracing Existence with love and gratitude, they stand apart form it with respect and fear.
Religion, if followed out of fear, will not take you anywhere; it will not pave the way for a transformation to happen in you.
