I was talking to my friend today about something that was troubling me. And during the course of our long conversation, he snuck in a tiny word. That was the word God. I was trying to figure out the answer on my own. Even though i was praying for guidance i still had my thoughts consumed with how I was going to handle it. But with that tiny ( Read more... )

Granted, it does not always feel like God loves us. I talked to a man i met at the mall who was raped by a Catholic priest when he was young. How could a God who always love let that happen? All I can say is that i left trying to figure out God too long ago. I realized how much wiser He is.

Sometimes it appears that God turns His back and rejects us. I see it like a child with a wise parent. Lets say a young child found his parents gun. Would a loving parent let him play with a loaded gun? Of course not. The parent is forced to discipline his son so the child will know what he did was wrong. The child is ignorant, it thinks that his parent is being mean for no reason. But he's not, he loves his child and that is why a 'bad' thing in the child's eye must occur.

Just the same, God's love appears not to be love to us because we are ignorant of what God is doing through it. It's not that He doesn't love you, it's because no one ever knows God's reasons.
