*Hey! What’s God like, if there’s a God?

Please, may I ask and seek and prod?

My knowledge of such things ain’t broad

What IS God like, if there’s a God?

*Is God just some “old bearded man?”

Some being without a will or plan?

Should God be called, “the man upstairs”?

That does NOT sound like one who cares!

*Is God a faceless, nameless force?

Impersonal and passive source?

A “universe” that doesn’t care?

If God’s like that, I might despair!

*Is God a cosmic Santa Claus

Who makes a list and checks it ’cause

He won’t reward the naughty sheep

But favors those his rules will keep?

*Is God a lofty debutante

Who says, “Do anything you want!”

Who doesn’t urge a holy life

And laughs as folks encounter strife?

*Is God a tyrant full of wrath

Who- like a hawk- observes our path

Who hopes to catch us in some sin

To smite us, fright us, do us in?

*Hey! What’s God like? My plea don’t shun

For, answers I’ve discovered none!

The answer’s in the Son God gave:

The One who died then fled the grave

(Ask Jesus to prove to you that He’s real, and keep on asking, and keep on trying to love Him. You will not be disappointed! “And my Father will love him who loves me. I will love him and will show myself to him.”  -John 14:21)
