MY INCLINATION TO ALWAYS TRUST GOD
I don’t know where I got this willingness to always trust the idea of God. To always trust in God. To always trust God. But I always did. I can’t remember when I didn’t. Ever. And since you don’t talk to people you don’t trust, I can see why I’ve never had a problem talking to God.
And I can see why some people have a terrible time talking to God, since they don’t trust Him. In fact, in keeping with the historic Judeo-Christian (pre-Restoration) ideas, they actually blame God for what is happening, seeing Him as All-powerful and able to mess with the course of sovereign soul’s lives like someone would move pieces on a chess board or sweep them all off the board at a whim. Or get up and leave the game half played and the pieces stalled in a configuration that can’t change itself.
Anyway.
I’ve never seen God that way. I don’t know why. I’ve always trusted God and trusted that the sad/bad stuff that was happening in this world made Him as sad as it did me. I knew that even though He was all powerful–not powerless like me–there was some good reason why He didn’t stop the bad stuff and force everyone to do right.
