With the devastation of Ike, there is a lot that runs through your head. included in the hardships of day to day life, is the inevitable question, “Is god out there?”. Why would he allow this? Or, Why would he do this to people?
I wonder if…. God is love. That’s what they say isn’t it. From the mortal experience, we seem to have all sorts of perspective on Love. I believe we are allowed to have as much control over Nature as he does. We forget though that both we and he have to play by the rules. It’s funny but you can think of the Holy Ghost as a referree and all you have to do is ask, “Am I gonna win this one? Is it worth losing the game? What do I do?”.
See, existance has rules, and even God “walks the razors edge of necessity” (Skousen, Cleon) in what he can and cannot reveal to us without taking away our free will. So, Heavenly Father is more aware of the rules, loopholes, and damage than we are. But he doesn’t keep that hidden on purpose, we just have to faithfully ask. As well as asking we are required to have faith that the “Universe is the great Equalizer” (Isani Cayetano). We may not win this round, we may not understand God’s nature, but we must maintain faith that he is a fair and just God. God will restore what is ours to us in time.
I have a testimony that God is just with us and that he allows us to have strife, temptation, and challenges. He also promises to be with us when we ask of him. He will return to us our righteousness, justice, mercy, goodness, kindness, injustices, intolerance, and all our doings. God lives by the Golden Rule. I think I’ll close this post with the words of Alma to Corianton, the son he loved so much he gave these great words of wisdom. (pulled from http://scriptures.lds.org)
THE SON OF ALMA
12 And now behold, is the meaning of the word restoration to take a thing of a natural state and place it in an unnatural state, or to place it in a state opposite to its nature?
