GOD’S MOUTH

Surprise! God does not have a mouth!

You’re kidding?

No, I’m not.

I  hear God laugh at times

at all the comments people

say God says. This is me now
who's speaking.  I hear God

frustrated - cringe - feel crushed

at all the things we think

God would want to say.

Maybe the solution is to slip

into what someone said of God,

“We are made in the image

and likeness of God.” 

When I hear that,  I hear God 

saying, “Oh my God, are 

you serious? Do they really 

believe that? They got to be

kidding."  

Silence!

And, I hear God laughing 
at all this and saying,
"Ooops I am God 
and I don't have a mouth,
so I couldn't have said that,
but if you want to be 
my image and likeness,
be silent because 
I am silence. Listen."
