So tonight at the dinner table, the question for my two sons was something that I was thinking a lot about today: What if God WAS one of us? My son Carson gave an interesting perspective, so I asked him to post it here:
Today, when I was asked what I was thinking about, I had the song "What If God Was One of Us" stuck in my head, I immediately responded by saying the name of the song, my mom decided that she would write her blog post all about it, and I continued on with my day.
At dinner, the song came back up, and that got me really thinking about it: What if God was one of us? How should it have changed our day? What decisions would we have made differently? What would be the same? After talking for a good three minutes about some minor affects, I had found something: How would we try to impress God? Okay, okay, so maybe we might dust off the old treadmill, or volunteer at a homeless shelter, or even hold the door for a stranger, but those are all attempts to impress Him, and God already knows us for who we are, even better than we do.
Why would you want to impress someone you already know and that knows you, like a best friend or parent? Why should your day be any different? I'm not saying that the day wouldn't be different, (and if you want to know what those differences would be, well, I cannot even begin to imagine) but what I am saying is that God is already with us every single moment of our lives, living with us, laughing with us, being there for us, loving us, so why should your day be any different if He were simply to be in a mortal form? God may be one entity, but he is, and is with, many people. He knows me...He knows you...He knows us...
