Who is God

I found this quote in a blog I frequent often: The Last Debate

"A friend once explained it this way: have you ever seen needlepoint? When you look at it from the back our perspective it's a big mess of knots, loose threads, loops and jumbled colors. It's also backwards. But when you see it from the front God's perspective the
picture is perfectly clear. But you know, if you accept this premise, you can spend sometime staring at the jumbled, messy, backwards picture, and parts of it will begin to make sense."

I had never thought of his work like this before. But in this time of great doubt, hurt, poverty, anguish...we remember that he is there too. That he was there in the wake of the tsunami, and the storms, and the murders, and in this cold weather. He is here now, and although it makes little sense as to how it all fits together, we may just have to stare long enough, hard enough, or perhaps just accept that its a mess to us, but on the other side he sees the picture.

For that I say Grace
