NO SECONDARY CAUSE

The saints and spiritually-minded people would say that there is no secondary cause. ALL that happens stems from God's Loving Hand.

It may seem hard then when we are hurt or feel neglected or ignored by others, to remember that what is happening is part of God's Love for us.

There is a divine pattern in everything, the happy times and the sad times.

God does not suddenly decide to stop loving us. If that were the case then we would die because we cannot exist without love.

We can be consoled by each other, and this is another way for God to show how much He cares and wants us to be happy.

So, what would help us to recognise God's love when the sad times come?

Let us build an awareness of the wonderful love of God, so even when it hurts, simply focus on the qualities of love and He who is LOVE.

Love cannot be against itself. Love reaches out and teaches us how to love, and human nature being what it is, we can learn so much from adversities and such like.

We also learn so much from the happy times too.

Love cures all!
