 Chasing God

October 15, 2003

 

Why?

 

“On the street I saw a small girl

cold and shivering in a thin dress,

with little hope of

a decent meal.

I became angry and said to God:

‘Why did you permit this?

Why don’t you do something about it?’

For a while God said nothing.

That night he replied, quite suddenly:

‘I certainly did something about it.

I made you."

Philippians 2.4

 Let each of you look not to your own interests,

but to the interests of others.

 

“Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these,

you did not do it to me.”  (Matthew 25.45)
