It goes beyond my understanding.

I dislike it when people ask if I believe in God. The issue is that they often don’t accept a simple “yes” or “no.” They want an explanation of my beliefs and reasoning.

The truth is, I have professed belief in God because it is what I was taught as a child. It was part of the upbringing I received from my parents, who instilled their traditions and beliefs in me. However, I’ve come to realize that believing in God does not necessarily mean that I truly understand anything about “God.”

There are higher forces at play in the universe. I am uncertain if these forces can be classified as God. I view the universe as a created entity; although some people attribute god-like qualities to it, I do not. I see the universe as a system, a structure, a design. It is not a being with consciousness or personality. If it imparts anything, it does so because it was built to, not because it chooses to.

I can’t explain what “God” is. I can’t define God or describe how this higher power functions. However, I know that a greater force loves me, and I have felt blessed since my conception. I am eternally grateful for that! I feel I have been in tune with this force that has protected and watched over me my whole life. Yet, I don’t know what this force looks like or exactly what it is.

I was taught that God is a Spirit. However, how can anyone truly believe this without a genuine understanding? I have developed a relationship with that force. Through my awareness and intuition, I know that a presence or force exists. This is not merely a belief; it is a certainty. I cannot describe what it looks like, nor do I know its origin or where it resides.

My answer is more of an experience than a concrete explanation. It’s not vague; it’s something that transcends simple definitions. I prefer to embrace this presence and observe how it integrates into my life, rather than trying to analyze or define it in words, which goes beyond my understanding.
