Just a Reminder
God is here. And He loves you.
Now this may sound a bit... trite. But it's not. We, even as people of faith, forget God. We forget God when we make ourselves God and we forget God when we place everything on our own shoulders (which is basically the same thing). Yet, if this is the case, why worry? Why feel alone? Why feel affraid? Why try to be something you're not? This seemingly little fact is what we must remind ourselves day in and day out. For that is the result of original sin- forgetfullness. Willed forgetfullness that we are not in control and the one who is wants us to be near to Him as possible. This is our challenge and this is our faith.
