WHERE EXACTLY WAS GOD?
When someone you love
dearly
dies
no matter the relationship
the age of your beloved
or the manner of death
very often
in order to create peace for yourself
you question everything.
Everything.
And one of the
most important questions is
“Where exactly WAS God
as my beloved was dying?”
Where exactly was God?
As I said
the manner of death is not important.
A stillbirth.
A long (or short) journey with cancer.
Some type of an accident.
A heart condition.
A long history of substance abuse
followed by an overdose – accidental or on purpose.
Death by suicide.
A car accident.
An unimaginable murder.
A fatal disease.
And on and on and on.
The question is
“Where was your version of God”
in the seconds
minutes
hours
days
weeks
months
years
or even decades leading up to your beloved’s passing?
Did the God you believe in move closer in
or did your God move away?
Did God abandon your beloved?
Or was your God smack in the center of all of it?
Always?
What have you decided to believe?
And do your beliefs create
peace or pain?
There is a new way to look at all of it.
A way that creates peace.
Where do you believe God was
at the time of your beloved’s death?
Was your beloved’s death a mistake?
An oversight on God’s behalf?
Too soon?
Where was God?
