Love

[brattyyetbright]

The saying is that God is love. When you looke out into the world at all the disasters that man or mother nature has caused how true do you hold to that saying. I asked myself this question when my life changed four years ago when I became parapalygic. My emotions toward God changes everyday(depending on how I feel that day.  So I ask you to think carefully before you answer. I know that I am not the only person to have lost their faith in God a time or two. I know deep down his love is unconditional however I ask myself why me, why this?

I tend to view things in a different light. I don’t view god as having any less love for anyone. But rather I tend to view things as “all things happen for a reason” wether its through God, Karma, or just the works of the universe. Not “It was gods will, or its part of his devine plan.” Because I don’t think God has a perfectly drawn out plan. The thing is though one has to recognize the reason that it happens. And not always can you recognize it right away. Granted I live my life through bad Karma anyway so I am use to sh** happening to me all the time.
All things happen for a reason. I knew when I was with my ex that I was gay. I denied it. I learned many things from that relationship that I would not have learned had I not been in it. Another thing that came from that relationship that would not have come had I not denied who I was, was my wonderful son. So that relationship, may have been doomed from the beginning many wonderful things still came from it. It happened for a reason. From my x’s perspective though, maybe not. Because for her it caused pain and suffereing when we broke up (though really that is up for debate). It is all in perspective I guess. I don’t think that “God is Love” I think that Love is one of the qualities of God but God is not Love. Though I do have a different view of God. For me it has changed so much over the years that I only use the word God so that people can better relate to what I have to say. Because my idea’s are so out there, it makes it difficult for me to write something as simple as a statement of faith. Because my idea’s change. As I think they should for everyone.
I do not know the history of your accident or the way you personally went through the ordeal. But from what I do know of you now. It seems to have helped you and “blessed” you in a different way. A way I don’t think you could have gotten before.
My past was very unpleasant, very …. Well dark. At anyrate, it was not a loved one. One could argue that if God loved me it would not have happened. I view it different. Because of my past “I am what I am.” So I am very thankful for it, and in a weird sick twisted way. I would argue that God let me live that life so that I became who I am now. And for that Loved me. A form of Tough Love if you will. There are some lessons in life you cant be tought, you have to live. So my past happened for a reason. Though not obious to me then. It is now.

Love? Love is what god has gave to us after creating us. his love for us was that he wanted us to live with him, the things caused on earth is not his fault but its the fault of man, God gave us a free will and we chose to abuse it, but that does not mean that he dont love us but he loves us so much that he gave his son Jesus Christ to save us, Christ died for us to give us a second chance and after that we receieved what jesus deserved. I have some sad times, but then I remember, for every good isnt there a evil? God is the light but there is a darkside of life, Satan, we blame things on god but he is not the one that brings saddness to us for he loves us and dont want us to be sad, satan brings the saddness onto us to ruin gods plans but christ took our sins and freed us from satans evil plans, and now we live in christ and as children of god
