“I will have nothing to do with a God who cares only
occasionally. I need a God who is with us always, everywhere, in the deepest
depths as well as the highest heights. It is when things go wrong, when good
things do not happen, when our prayers seem to have been lost, that God is most
present. We do not need the sheltering wings when things go smoothly. We are
closest to God in the darkness, stumbling along blindly.”
― Madeleine L'Engle

God is love
where did we lose sight of this?
why did we lose sight of this?
perhaps we think
a God who is angry
and punishes
is more powerful
perhaps we think a God who
picks and chooses who to love
and who is helped
and who (of course)
is on our side (not theirs)
Is preferable to a God who welcomes
all
loves and forgives
all
perhaps we
think we can own God
manipulate God
and use God
to support our wants
our desires
our hates
we would be wrong
