“I don’t believe in God”
Dear X,
Look
at the beauty of the world around you. I know when considering the evil that is
in the world, it is hard to believe in a God, however do not forget the beauty
and order that is in the world, in every creature, every little blade of grass
and flower. Everything on earth shows evidence of a master design, even spiders
as unsettling as they are.
It
may seem that God is even cruel considering how many people believe that unless
you hear God’s word in the Bible, you will go to hell. However, God does not
damn those who through no fault of their own have never heard his Word. He may
punish the wicked but He is Just. He takes into account the hearts of all men
at judgment.
God
is also there in the little quirks of life, those instances where it seems as
if you are dreaming but you are awake. He has a funny way of allowing us to
trick ourselves with our minds if we so chose but snaps us out of it by various
situations…gravity for instance. Oh, you may not see God and find it so
difficult to believe but there is Someone who sees and shares your every joy
and sorrow. He is also present in the greatest of human emotions: Love.
Please
sit alone in the beauty and silence of creation and open your heart. It is
obvious something inside you is yearning or else you would have never written
this. Search for the truth my brother because indeed Truth is a person and
sometimes truth is found where we least expect it.
In
Christ,
Angelo
