What If God Sued Us?
I've been thinking about suing God! Everybody else is suing somebody...why not me? It seems to me that God really didn't make me as bright as some of the folks I know. I think He might have neglected me somewhat!
I heard once about a lady who sued God for letting lightning strike her home. As far as I know, God never showed up for the trial...As far as I know, the lady never collected either.
But on the other hand, I wonder if God shouldn't have a few law suits pending on His own? After all, we took His beautiful world, and turned it into a waste land. We burned up His fuel oils. We muddied up His beautiful rivers and streams. We allowed His children in many parts of the world, to go hungry, because we never cared enough to teach them to farm their barren lands.
Looks to me like God has a pretty strong case against us. We've taken the good bodies He gave us, and filled them with black coffee, and deadening alcoholic drinks. We've turned the noses He gave us into smoke stacks. We've eaten all the fat-producing desserts, and left the spinach behind.
How can God put up with us? We are law breakers, spoilers, destroyers, contaminators, offenders.
But there is good news. In spite of it all, He cares. He doesn't sue us...He saves us through His great love. He saves us for all eternity, if we come to Him. We are not worthy, but still He pours out His love. What a wonderful, marvelous God we have!
