A young cynic was depressed by the evil and suffering in the world. He complained, "Why did God make a world like this? I could make a better world than this."
His wise teacher answered, "That's exactly the reason God put you into the world...to make a better world. Now, go and do your part."
The Christian gospel is about changed lives, renewed faith. Though dependent upon God, God gave us the gift of free will, and God depends on us to choose wisely. God cannot make a peaceful nation and world unless we root out hatred from our hearts. God cannot build healthy families unless we work with God to bring sharing love and mutual respect to our relationships. God needs each one of us.
Now, go and do your part!
With blessings and in friendship,
Richard
