How We View The Divine Matters

If my overarching paradigm of The Divine is that of love, and that I have the opportunity to respond to The Divine and this world in kind, then my aim will be one of love.

If my overarching paradigm of The Divine is that of justice, and that I have the opportunity to respond to The Divine and this world in kind, then my aim will be one of judgement and (supposed) fairness.

If my overarching paradigm of The Divine is that of victory, and that I have the opportunity to respond to The Divine and this world in kind, then my aim will be one of winning.

If my overarching paradigm of The Divine is that of jealousy, and that I have the opportunity to respond to The Divine and this world in kind, then my aim will be one of fear and/or control.

Etc.

How we view The Divine shapes our hearts and minds and has real, lived-out consequences for our actions in the world.

Not all views are created equal.
