[And I know this is wild to think… But maybe, like you, God had no idea how it was going to turn out. And now, Jesus is looking at you, going, “Wow. What a ride, huh? I was right there with you, and it was touch and go!” Can you picture his smile sharpening with mischief before he asks… “What’s next?”]
This is how I see God, but I haven't found anyone near me who sees anything near the same. My sister and her family is VERY trenched in "God will take care of everything"; "I'm praying to God for {fill in the blank outcome}; "God will take care of {fill in the blank terrible person}. I was Christian before my sibling and was overjoyed when her and her adults kids started attending church about six years ago. We had many great discussions about our faith. After a couple of years, she started interpreting God's "way" by what is explicitly stated in the Bible. And now a days, there is no room for discussion anymore. She will spout passages from the Bible any time I want to talk about how I interpret God's "way. It is overwhelmingly disappointing.
