The Character of God

Have you ever wondered what God looks like? If you and I were able to see God today we would see that he is a man that looks much like me or you. He has the same features we do.  He has a mouth, eyes, nose, hands, feet. In fact he is about our same height. 

You may think this strange in that you have always been taught perhaps that God is not that personal and more abstract.  We are His offspring.  He is the Father of our spirits.  We lived with Him for a very long time before coming to this earth.  We look like Him and He like us.

Because He is our Father do you believe that you could ever become anything different than what He is.
Does a baby chick grow up to become a riding horse?  Because we are His offspring we can become just like Him.  In fact, before God was God He lived on an earth like we do now and went through the same trials and difficulties that we experience here.  He has progressed to where He is through eons of time and progression.  We can follow the same path and reach to where He is. He loves us He wants to give us all He has. He wants us to have what He has. 

When we lived with Him we saw Him and were taught by Him.  We wanted to be like Him so we were sent here by Him to gain a body and go through the same things He had gone through so that one day we could have the kind of body that we saw He has - a glorious resurrected body.

I know some think this is blasphamy and belittles our Heavenly Father but the things I have said are true.
We all have a great potential within us to progress to levels we have not even dreamed of. We are all gods and godesses in embryo.  We are the offspring of a God.  By keeping ourselves clean and pure we can progress further and faster on this path to Godhood.  Sin and mistreating our bodys slows down and even can stop our progression and take us further from that path that progresses us closer to God's plan for us.

You truly do have a Heavenly Father that loves you and a Heavenly Mother that loves you.  They want us to return home back to them one day.  Not to return back as we were before we left Them to come here, but to return to Them clean and pure and ready to continue our progression with them in becoming as They are.

As man is, God once was, and as God is, man may become.  With all my heart I know this statement to be true. May we do whatever it takes to become like our Heavenly Parents.

Please let me hear your thoughts on this important subject.
