"Where is your God, now?"

So many people are asking, "Where is your God now?"

My God is suffering with everyone else. Suffering as he was on the cross. He loves us so much that he trusts us to make our own decisions; he gives us the chance to make decisions and show our faith. Are we given the freedoms to think on our own? Absolutely. Do a lot of us make poor choices? Every single day. And we are still surrounded by Him, even in the hardest of times?  Our God is gracious, and always here. He welcomes us with open arms, but will not MAKE anyone trust or accept his graciousness.

MY God is with those fathers and mothers that will never see their children smile and laugh. He is sitting there as they weep over the unopened gifts under the tree, giving them the only comfort that will help. Holding them up and pushing them forward when we know that they want nothing more right now then to give up and be with their children. MY God is giving them the support and hope; he is building up the friendships and loyalties they take for granted everyday.

He is loving those innocent angels and reminding them it was not their fault; they did everything right and he is sending them to watch over their parents. He is letting their memories live on. MY God is trying to fix what satan has done. MY God is relentlessly caring for those that only want to blame him for the devil's work. His relentless love and pursuit of us is what we need to focus on instead of letting the blame game take over. It is SO MUCH EASIER to make a poor decision than the right one. Temptation is so much more appealing than the promise of what is yet to come; that is apparent every single day of our lives, and on days like today when the work of the devil is getting increasingly worse (or stronger), we still try to blame the one that died for us.

Where is your God?

We are not promised tomorrow. We are not deserving of a tomorrow. We are not entitled to a tomorrow. Tomorrow is too late. If you wan't to believe in a satan and refuse to live for God today, do not blame Him tomorrow when you are left without a golden ticket. You wouldn't blame a teacher for providing you all of the tools, resources, study material and their own time to offer guidance if you failed a class...but then again maybe you would....
