If you think there is a Big Guy in the Sky, there is. Your God is what you think he is. He cannot be any other way and still satisfy your needs. He does satisfy your needs, doesn't He? That is what God aims to do, to satisfy your needs. The servant of all shall be the master of all.  So it also is with God. He is your servant. He will do anything, anything, to please you, and be anything, what ever you desire.             
          If you want God the Great and Terrible, so He shall be.  If you want God the small and meek, then that is what He will be. Or She, if that is what you want.  God the near, God the far.  He will demand the ordering of your life to the least breath, or leave you free to tread the face of the earth to your own desire.  He will be shackles on your feet, if that is what you wish, or wings upon your back, if that is what you wish. He will be master, or servant, friend or brother. Parent or child, enemy or lover.  He will press your head to the ground, or be a rod of iron for your back.  He will even not exist, if that is what you want.  What ever you wish.

            So what ever you say about Him is true, because He makes it so.  Any scripture, any interpretation of scripture, is true, if you want it to be.  If your scripture makes you His slave, He will be your master.  If your scripture makes you friend, He will be your friend.  He will make it truth. So you have the correct, the one true interpretation of the word. What ever it is. Or your favorite preacher or priest or holy man does. Whichever.  Congratulations.  God has made it so.

            What ever your needs He satisfies, however contrary or contradictory those needs may be.  
            But if your needs were satisfied, you were commanded not to read this.

            But then, perhaps you need to read this.

            And of course, one of the greatest of needs is for purpose, for meaning.  What a comfort, to have a meaning for one's life. How terrible to live a life without a purpose.

           Think about it.  Purposeless.  A life without meaning.  So instead you imagine, as you walk the street, that you have a purpose.  A place to go and things to do.  People to see.

            God, your servant, provides you a purpose.   Perhaps it is just making a living.  Perhaps it is accumulating wealth and power. Perhaps it is changing your society. Perhaps it is your religion.  Perhaps it is serving God. You can define your purpose in terms of God and His purpose, what ever that is. Do you dare ask? What God's purpose may be?  Do you dare to not put it off with the excuse that it is unknowable, and accept the fact that maybe it is?  Maybe you're afraid to confront God's larger purpose?

            Perhaps you believe instead that God wants to improve you.  To make you better, to try you in the crucible of this world, and prepare you for the next. Well, of course, that's why you're reading this, to improve your self, or at least your situation.  But, is heaven so trying?

            People, though, tend to be secretly really rather satisfied with their selves.  God is happy to tell them how wonderful they are, how full of virtue, if that is what they want to hear. 

            Or if they cling to their unhappiness, God lets them do that. And then He confirms them in their feelings of worthlessness. He provides them with justification, if that is what they want.  Them He tells that they do not deserve to be happy, they deserve to suffer, and He gives them burdens hard to bear.  So God serves even the miserable and lost, in the manner they desire, so long as they desire.

            If they are crouched and anxious, He provides reasons for their fears.

            If they are proud and strong, He gives them strength, and mitigates their obstacles.

            Perhaps you believe this life is a test of your free will, to see if you will misuse it or not.  But what is the test?  That you are obedient to God?  If all you do is obey, it is only by denying your free will that you pass.  Then have you succeeded, or have you failed?  If all you are is obedient, have you shown you have free will, or have you demonstrated the opposite? 

          Perhaps you believe God does not exist to serve you.  Perhaps you believe you exist to serve God.  But then God serves you by letting you serve Him, if that is what you need to do.
     After all, does God need servants? What does God need?
