Coping with God

Coping with God is difficult. The problem is: he’s too loving - by human standards, that is. We’re all for love when it’s to our own advantage. We’re all for love for those we like. But that’s not good enough. God created those we hate, fear, despise, and avoid. He created them just as he created us. He called them too by name from their mother’s womb.

Today’s reading from the Book of wisdom (11:22-12:2) tells us as much:for you love all things that exist, and detest none of the things that you have made (11:24). If God loves some of the ‘things’ that we hate, one of us must be wrong.

That ‘awe-full’ reading goes further. Incredibly, it tells us that God overlooks our sins so that we may repent (11:23). He turns a blind eye to sin! Is that the God you were taught to believe in? Was it not God the Punisher? The just one who punishes every sin? The one who keeps his eye on you, rather than the One who can’t take his eyes off you for sheer love?

Let us bask in God’s love. Soak up his mercy. Then face life as he does: with total love.
