With all the strife and outright wars going on in the world I find myself asking where God is. How can a God defined by love allow so much bad stuff to happen? However, as I start thinking about this the answer pops right out at me. God is there. He is always there. He is less than a heart beat away. He’s waiting for us to turn to Him. He’s waiting for us to treat one another the way we would want to be treated. We’re the ones screwing up. Not God.
If God were calling all the shots day in and day out we would be mere puppets on strings. But God gave us free will to exercise that free will. He may be shaking His head watching us hate and even kill but it’s our decisions. We are a free people—at least while we are on this earth. Then, when time is up, we will be looking back what we did. That accounting determines where we spend eternity.
The decision of what to do and how to act is ours and ours alone. God may be watching but He is not pulling the strings. You can turn your life over to Him but it’s still your free will in control. I just try to make sure that my free will is in concert with what God wants me to do and how to act.
God is never missing in our lives. We are missing in God’s life by choice.
Think about this. Are your actions day in, day out in concert with God? And, remember, His commandment is to LOVE so if you are walking in LOVE you are walking with God.
Think about this and enjoy the day (with an ever-present God!).
