God
said:
There
are some questions that have no answer for you. No answer satisfies. Questions
you ask like these:
“Why
did he die? Why was a baby born missing a chromosome or a limb? How can love be
seemingly not in the human heart? How can there be murder in a world that God
created? Why is there suffering? How can human love feel like pain at the same
time? Even before love for another is incepted, it can feel like pain. How can
there be loss? How can life be so powerful and yet so fragile? Are You
heartless, God? How can You benignly watch our suffering and not hear us
calling out to You?”
These
are questions you ask, not I.
How
can these questions be answered in human terms? If you can answer so your heart
understands, step right up. You are not satisfied to hear: “God knows the
reason.”
Your
thought continues. You say to Me:
“Perhaps
life is a jumble of many things, as if it were all thrown up in the air and
happened to land this way. If life is not a jumble, then it is designed and
purposeful. Who would ever design life this way? What kind of God would figure
in pain and suffering? What God would ever allow pain let alone set it up? Is
God a God of Love or not? What love is there in pain?
“How
can a world so beautiful, so rife with beauty, so exquisitely put before us
also co-exist, or seem to co-exist, along with misery? Misery must mean miserliness.
How, in such a generous world, can there be misers of life who cannot budge an
inch to another? Do You budge, dear God? Even as I interrogate You, You are
dear to me. You are all-important to me, and, yet, I question Your ability. I
question You.
“How
can life even be? And if You, God, created the Universe, Who created You? Yes,
I know my questions go around in circles.
“Okay,
life was given to us to experience, and then the question is: What for? What is
life for anyway? God, perhaps You say life was created for us as a gift. You
would say that, wouldn’t You?
“Certainly, You would tell us at Christmas to give
someone what they want. You would, wouldn’t You? You wouldn’t tell us to give a
friend or family member something unwanted. You wouldn’t, would You? And, yet,
You have given us much we don’t want, not for ourselves or for anyone.
“What
kind of God would allow or instigate Cain’s killing Abel, yet You introduced
Cain early in the story.
“God,
You will probably say that you gave Cain free will, and free will has to be
free to injure as well as to bless. You have made us feel that free will is a
good thing. Is it You Who convinces us of that? What are simple human beings to
think? What am I to think?
“You
tell us to lead with our hearts and not our minds. Our minds analyze. Our minds
overdo analyzing, yet our hearts hurt and break. If You could help us
understand, we would be grateful, and, yet, You say there is no way we can
understand at the level of understanding we are presently at. That’s true. I do
not understand, and You admit it is not understandable to me right now, but
what kind of an answer is that?
“If
You are God, can You not help us understand? You say understanding requires a
mightier level of consciousness and that we will have it one day by and by.
Then why don’t You give us that level of understanding right now? Can’t You?
Are You God or not? Are You not first in command? Is there someone else You
have to account to?”
And
I say unto you:
“Your
questions are not new. Your questions are as old as time. Before time was born,
you did not have these questions.”
I
will continue this fervent discussion.
