For he who loves God without faith reflects on himself, while the person who loves God in faith reflects on God.
Perhaps we invented gods so that we could put blame on them.
But that God sounds a lot like Zeus – a super-powerful man, playing with his toys the way my youngest brothers play with toy soldiers. If they’re yours, you make the rules. Who cares what the toys think. Wipe out a toy’s family, then give it a brand new family.
God exists wherever He is allowed to enter.
God is subtle, but He is not cruel.
There's hope in understanding the nature of God - not punishing or jealous, but infinitely malleable. There's comfort in realizing that everyone and everything yields to God. There's power in knowing that God can be focused, diverted, shaped by anyone at all.
This is the greatest gift God can give you: to understand what happened in your life. To have it explained. It is the peace you have been searching for.
