      To portray God as a public servant is to ignore what the Bible actually says. God identifies HIMSELF as an angry and jealous god. The definition of 'good' is 'whatever God choses to do'. Yahweh is no different than the gods of the other countries surrounding Canaan in the Bronze Age. He was a storm god that lived on a mountain and spoke with the voice of thunder. The Hebrews were the people given to Yahweh by El, the creator god.

    I love how gods always doing what a lot of people consider menial jobs.
    He's a Janitor, a Waiter... the jobs people don't get paid much for, that don't seem all that important.
    But without Janitors, hospitals couldn't exist. Every room you've ever entered outside of private property would be disgusting.
    There's value in service, and it's awesome that's how they portray God XD

      Being born again is like falling in love. At first you’re unsure and wondering if you made the right choice. But the more you grow together and the more you learn. Really being born again is an experience that can only be achieved if your are willing to try. God be with you all. Always.

    I prayed for patience once and God gave me the opportunity to learn it. I was changing to a new job and right before I left the old one I asked God for patience going into this new role. He postponed me starting that new job for 3 months (glitch in their hiring process) in which time I had the stress of bills without a paycheck, unreasonable expectations from people around me, donated time at a church thrift store dealing with customers, and the loss of vehicle I really didn't need. In the end, God gave me patience. After that, I started asking for blessings instead. :) LOL
