A Reflection on the Soul, Validation, and Human Wholeness
In the end, we do not seek God outside ourselves,
but recognize Him in every breath, in the silence,
in the place where the soul and the universe meet without words.
You do not need the world’s validation to prove how deeply you are connected with God. God loves you far beyond the demands of a world that asks you to give everything just to be accepted. You are human—holding both darkness and light—and God loves the wholeness of who you are, as long as you can govern it with wisdom and not wound the hearts of others. As long as people are hurt by their own egos, that is not your responsibility. God sees far beyond the surface—unlike human eyes and logic, which are limited. His love is not that simple.
You do not need human validation to prove how much God loves you. You have seen and experienced for yourself how the universe restores balance. You have witnessed how the law of the universe punishes those who have wronged you—how the lives of those driven by envy, ego, agendas, and superiority eventually collapse by the hand of the universe itself.
You do not need to be “normal” by human standards to speak of God. You do not need to be heterosexual to praise God and bear witness to God’s love. You do not have to be considered “healed” by worldly standards to work in harmony with the universe. God never asked you to be a hypocrite as a prerequisite to come to God.
You are the one who has experienced God’s miracles and guidance in the silence of your life. You are the one who knows how much God has gifted you with talent, love, and protection through intuition and through the answers to your prayers. You are also the one who realizes how God has prepared everything for the prayers you have spoken and has guided your steps through your faithfulness to God. Remember, you do not live by the words or limited perceptions of humans. You live by the guidance, signs, and synchronicities that God sends your way.
You do not need to change anything, to run, or to act pious in God’s name, just for worldly validation or human acceptance. God is not that complicated—God is not that rigid.
You only need to listen to God in the depths of your soul, for God is there. God never left—God does not reside in the mouths of hypocritical humans full of agendas, hungry for superiority and control over fellow dust; God does not fly from one pair of limited eyes to another that judges through shallow worldly logic, nor does God dwell in ears that hear without the sensitivity of spirit and depth of soul.
We live in an age where our awareness of God should have grown wider, deeper, and more boundless. Yet humans keep trying to confine God with shallow logic—assigning God a gender, calling God He or She, as if God has a form that can be explained. But God is energy—everywhere, penetrating all boundaries, working beyond language and symbol. Humanity tries to imprison God within one scripture, one interpretation, one moral system born of limited thought. Yet Divine consideration is far more complex and gentle than anything that can be explained by worldly law.
In truth, humanity is busy labelling God only to feel safe within the comfort of its own shallow logic—limited, powerless, with sleeping souls. They hide from the reality that God is a mystery capable of shattering every worldly illusion that divides humanity, and then try to divide God.
Beyond all this, God’s law remains absolute. God sees through many layers of consciousness, judging with wisdom that transcends time and form. For there is not a single human rule, belief, or moral system—no matter how sacred its reason—that is always just in the eyes of God.
So, is God greater than everything? Or is it humanity that keeps trying to fit Him into worldly boxes—to validate their limited understanding and soothe their own egos?
Perhaps God never needed anyone to defend God. It is we who need to find meaning in God’s presence so that life feels guided. Yet in that search, humanity often forgets that the Divine cannot be confined by words, symbols, religion, or form. God remains beyond all things—beyond scriptures, beyond interpretations, beyond rituals, beyond the universe itself. For He is pure consciousness—the life that breathes through all things.
And perhaps, the moment we stop trying to define God, it
is the moment we truly begin to know God.
Yohanes Kabes, S.S (B.A. in English Literature) is a Melanesian writer, novelist, and poet. His writings and articles focus on themes of spirituality and the inner journey of the human soul — the awakening of consciousness. He also analyzes literary works through psychological and spiritual perspectives, believing that life itself is the philosophy of the universe. In his novels, Kabes often explores the realms of horror, thriller, and mystery. He is also the first to design fashion pieces inspired by his own poetry.
