How do you know God cares?

I hope Trapped is getting help from this discussion.

I think we've been preaching to the choir and it's likely Trapped is still trapped.

I think it's quite possible the only thing that's going to free him is "the least of these," in that it's going to take a physical answer to free him, not ideological or theological answers.

It won't be any one thing, and it will be a process. The main thing he needs to do is start a simple dialogue with God himself. Just start talking in a simple, honest, personal way.

I left the LC and for a long time was afraid to talk to God. Slowly I began to notice his wooing, it was very tender and gentle. I began to realize that he really does love me and that I wanted to be with him.

I went thru a similar thing. And God came to me. I then realized it didn't depend on me.

Since then, however, God and I have had our disagreements. God can only be as honest toward us as we are toward Him. When he took my son I spent many a day shaking my fist at Him.

Strange, when my son died I spent many a day shaking my fist at myself.

I did that too. I kept wondering what I did, or didn't do, wondering, blaming myself.
