Oftentimes I think people may wonder why I don’t hate God. Why when I’ve experienced so much pain and loss in almost 36 years, and why ESPECIALLY this last year, that I have found that my relationship with Him is stronger than ever before. The simple answer is that the bad things that have happened to me and those I love are not His fault, and that I have come to the realization that every blessing is straight from Him. I question things, I grieve the losses, and I do get angry with God. But I think the fact that I can get angry shows the strength of our relationship.
Recently a dear relative who was also one of my best friends died. During a conversation last year I was asking him all sorts of questions, and he answered each one with “because He loves us.” And He does. Despite all the terrible things that may happen to us, or even the things we may cause to happen because of an especially stupid decision we make, His love for us never changes. How awesome is that? ❤️
