It never fails. Every time I think I've got God nailed down, I nail myself down.
God is love...and so much more. To think of God as love does help me let go of God as a form, a woman or a man or a lion (my Aslan, a great visualization for me). But to think of God as love alone...no. God is also mercy, kindness, goodness...as Goldsmith teaches, God is omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence...and more.
I know from my own experience that out of my own disasters (or disasters that befall me for it rains on the deserving and the undeserving), God can, will and does bring forth good. It is, however, necessary for us to cooperate with Him in the way that He is going...turn our free-will over to His will, quite simply.
All we need do is to detach from our want and name what we got "Blessed." In other words, change our mind, upgrade our attitude. A simple "Thank You" will get us headed in the right direction...then we let God lead us through.
Thank You.
