THE HAND OF GOD

A lot of things happen in our lives; some we like, others we definitely don't like. Yet, it can be a learning curve to realise that the Hand of God is behind everything that happens to us.

God is the great Master / Creator of the Universe; the Creator of each one of us. He has the power of life and death, yet it is only with a compassionate Hand that He wields His power.

What does this mean?

It means that God, because of His Love for each one of us, allows us the freedom to make choices. We can choose to love, or not. We can choose to be a positive-minded person, or not.

We have a wonderful sense of freedom, instilled in us by this Gracious Creator.

This freedom that we have is bought at a price.
We practise our freedom of choice by our willingness to allow God to guide our lives / by responding to LOVE.

Then, we might ask, why do things happen that are not good?

People die. Sometimes, evil, instead of good, grows in people's hearts. Yet, even these truths show us how much God cares for us, allowing us the freedom to choose, either good or evil.

Death is inevitable. No one lives forever. Therefore it would be an act of trust on our part to believe that God will call each one of us, when it is a good time for us to go.

Of course, we may have plans / attachments / loved ones, and yet all is well.

If with our faith, we can see the Hand of God in all that happens to us, then indeed, all is LOVE!
