Poor God

In a tragedy like the Oklahoma tornadoes the pointing of the fingers is almost too much to handle. The twitter feeds all go like this:

"Horrible! Thoughts and prayers with those poor people!"

And then there's this:

"God will help those people get back on their feet!"

I always look at those because someone will certainly write:

"God!!!! God!!!! Didn't He send the tornado in the first place? LMFAO!!! God!!!!!"

And I never participate in such a debate.

What could possibly be gained?

It's like the Tea Party versus the Crazy Liberals.

There's no sense in arguing it.

I was reading something the other day about a woman who had lost her home, job and kids. She went back to work and after quitting drinking and buckling down, she found her way again.

"God is Great!!!" She wrote.

I'm sort of the mind to argue that God didn't just suddenly become great.

He was great when she was screwing everything up, wasn't He?

Wasn't it she who became great?

God isn't an excuse.

God won't reach down and answer things for you.

He won't hold the bong pipe for you, just as He won't grab the door of opportunity and allow you to walk through.

You were already gifted.

What you make of it is what you'll become.

God didn't send the tornado.

They are a fact of this life.

They are a part of His world.

Yet God will be there, in the details.

If your heart allows you to see Him.

That's just my opinion, of course. I certainly could be wrong.

God may very well be up there laughing and blaming it all on the fact that some state passed the gay marriage law.

It's all in how YOU, in your God-given heart see it.
