God is always present, always at work, so there are no God-forsaken situations, only situations that have been forsaken by His followers.

When you and I ask hard questions of God, we stand in the stream of an ancient tradition, one that is captured over and over in the Scriptures.

Jesus came to inaugurate a kingdom — one not built through oppression and domination, but one propelled by love and compassion. And His way was the way of the cross.

You are God’s creation — embraced, loved, valued, cherished, even delighted over. Nothing will ever change this fact.
