Sometimes we wonder where God is when a tornado or other disaster hits those we love and even those we have never met, or when people abuse us. Where is God? He is right there with you, loving you, comforting you, and wrapping you in the promise of life - on this side of Heaven and on the other.
God never promised that life with him would be problem free. He promised that life with him will be lived in the shelter of his arms where peace is abundant. Imagine an armful of Love, full of color and sweet fragrance. Earthly life will always be lived within the fireworks display of the world he created. But, our heart can experience the love of God even while the World rushes on. Don't look for whose fault life is. Look to God, whose love and peace we can hold onto when Life happens.
