GOD DOESN’T CARE SO WHY SHOULD I? This is an easy attitude to take in our world of suicide bombers, AIDS, crushing poverty, hunger, homelessness, violent gangs, abuse of all kinds, drugs, discrimination, and cruelty. The answer lies in today’s Thursday Thought, which is an ancient teaching:
Past the seeker as he prayed, came the crippled and the beggar and the beaten. And seeing them, the holy one went down into deep prayer and cried, “Great God, how is it that a loving creator can see such things and yet do nothing about them?” And out of the long silence, God said, “I did do something. I MADE YOU.”
