Where was God?


Where was God?

Perhaps the question, most often, asked by humans

If God is so loving, why does he permit tragedy?

And why does he permit hunger, disease and war?

And all this pain in my life?

Job and Elijah asked the same question

The answer is simple

He is where he has always been

In Eternity

All of us have a touch of perfection in us
While knowing that perfection is somewhere in existence
As cerebral beings, we are inspired to find it
And disappointed as cerebral beings
that we never achieve it or find it

For God is without time and space

Omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent

Permitting men to have a lot of free will

To do as we will

And we choose to do so much evil

And permitting some predestination

Genes and chromosomes predict a lot

Freewill or Predestination

An ongoing philosophical argument

One or the other?

Why not both?

Once when in a terrible way in life                             

I asked the question

“Why me?”

My sister replied

“Why not you?”

I had no response

Why not any of us?

"For now we see through a glass darkly"

And one day, we will know IN FULL
