What God is Really Like

My favorite author, C.S. Lewis, wrote: "Not that I am (I think) in nuch danger of ceasing to believe in God.  The real danger is of coming to believe such dreadful things about Him.  The conclusion I dread is not 'So there's no God after all,' but 'So this is what God's really like."

Any one who has gone through a tragedy can relate to this statement.  When Catherine was very sick, I had  to remind myself daily, sometimes hourly, that God had a reason for everything that occurs.

This post was inspired by the book "The Bible Jesus Read" by Philip Yancy.
