Your Own Personal God...

I have a set of golf clubs...not a usual set...but my own personal set.  I don't carry a 9 iron or a pitching wedge, I let my 7 iron do the work of those two clubs that most everybody else carries in their golf bag.  I do carry a sand wedge and employ it in place of a wedge when the shot I have to make doesn't lend itself to a 7 iron.
Likewise, I don't load my golf bag up with other clubs I simply haven't mastered and choose not to use: a 3 iron, any metal-wood with a number higher than 7.
Over the years, I have purchased new clubs to replace older ones, of course, but I am still using the only putter I have ever owned.

I have the same Honda SUV model as millions of other folks, but I have personalized it to suit my tastes.  Its my own personal car...even though a whole big bunch of red CR-Vs were made and purchased between 2007 and 2012 (when the styling was revamped).

I've got my own personal stuff.  You've got your own personal stuff.  All God's children got their own personal stuff.  Including their own personal God.

The concept of God many folks...maybe even most folks...have is that of a God who is the same yesterday, today, and forever; and for everybody, too.  And if not that exact concept, one quite like it.  But that's just the God we pay lip-service to.  My guess is, from personal experience, that the real concept of God we live our daily lives in service to, is very much like the man in the picture above speaks about.

Our own personal God has the same beliefs as we do.  My God has my beliefs, and your God has your beliefs.  I don't think that plays out too well in real life, do you?

BTW, I am working on some bumperstickers:

• My God is Bigger than Your God
• Your God can't hold a Candle to Mine
• My God can Beat Up Your God

What do you think?
