Topic: Does God See Me Or Know I Exist?

Our God is a forgiving God and He wants to forgive each of us. God does not want to hand out a punishment to us in the form of suffering. Our God is a God who loves us. When we pray, we can feel and experience His love and forgiveness inside ourselves. God is inside of you, and has been in your life from the very beginning, no matter how bad the suffering might be in your life at the present time. In suffering, we have a great battle in being responsive to God because our suffering separates us from God. God is a personal God who wants to be alive inside of you all of your life. However, suffering comes between us and God. In suffering, God is not impersonal or far away, even if our suffering makes us think He is far away. God is not impersonal because He knows your name. God knows every nuance of suffering you endure. God loves you even if in your suffering you doubt Him and turn away from Him. How can this be? Is this not the greatest wonder of all time? This wonder of how God could love us in spite of us, that He would love us even when we turn away from Him or turn against Him? God does not condemn us with darkness and suffering. He wants us out of the darkness. He does not punish us with the darkness. He wants us out of the darkness and into the Light. The darkness is a fact, but darkness in life is not an act of God. If you will let Him, God can use your darkness in powerful ways to help you. God can, if you let Him, use your darkness to inspire you to turn to the Him and to His Light. If you will let Him, God can use your darkness to change your life and to give you a place in eternity.
