Re: You know what you believe when...

A wonderful person said that we should seek to love the love in every person and I would add everything.... To me this is God who is love but everything(to me) is not love or God who is love.... I have watched hard things... shook my head at cruelty.... took my own licks too.... but if we can back out of the frame far enough.... we can see behind the curtains to the backstage where we are all the actors... and all is love at that point.... but down here in the trenches... it gets tough sometimes....

but to be as a child...full of hope... to peak from underneath the covers from the darkness to see the nightlight... and feel calm.... God is a type of familiarity that makes the night terrors go away... but more... when we pray to that something out there that we know loves us... that love will start whispering back to us... It is easy to do as a child/under our sheets... in the darkness... but it is much harder AFTER we ascribe all kinds of heinous acts of violence and unimaginable cruelty to that name God... Tweet
