Evening Reflection
God has a sense of humor.
Of course God does! Anything we can do, God can. The Giver of All Life is the reason for all there is-all creation and everything in it. (This does not mean, however, that God is the author of evil. All creation is held in the field of divinity, but it does not mean it is all OF God.)
God does have a sense of humor, and I have laughed at God’s jokes countless times. Sometimes, of course, the joke is on me. This occurs when I am learning a life lesson in a manner that is intense and uncomfortable, when I could have learned the same lesson in a much easier way had I been wiser at the time.
God, I believe, loves to play with us and hear us laugh. Joy, inspiration, fun, and laughter are not antithetical to the Divine. When we finally got a picture of Jesus laughing, we finally got it right. God enjoys us!
But that is my experience. What’s yours?
