Okay, so I am here to try to put things in perspective for myself. I was visiting my cousin Michelle in the hospital when I was trying to put together some events that have taken place. She was in an accident that has literally changed everyone's life. She was that important to people, that important to me. However, looking back I cannot get something out of my head.
With Karma, the golden rule is what goes around, comes around, but I can't think of anything that she could have done to deserve this. And while we were all affected by it, this accident didn't happen to us, it happened to her. Now, some say that God is giving us a bump in the road. Let me say this again, I have faith in God, I always have, and no matter what you think of what I say next is going to affect that. Now, that said, let me continue. The God that I have learned about ever since I was a child is this ever loving God who wants nothing but to love his creation, his children. Something else I learned is that though God may have the power to do some wonderous things, let us not forget that he also gave this world free will. Do I think that he doesn't answer prayers? Of course not. Do I think that he doesn't help us? I'm not saying that. What I am saying is that he wouldn't do anything to hurt us, I don't think that at all.
When an accident happens, it's just that, an accident. I have doubts to think that God would do hurt his own child for us to wake up and realizing what a loving God he is. However, if you are still shaking your head, let me go about it this way. In some part of the beginning, God gave mankind free will (not free willy). In that fact he gave us the chance to make mistakes, have accidents, and learn lessons on our own. Following that line of thinking I can see how people can say that this was an act of God, but he didn't purposefully put my cousin in front of a speeding vehicle. So the question that lies here is was it karma, God, or just free will coming into play? I know my answer and I am sticking with it.
So just to repeat myself, I haven't lost my faith in God. I just see things differently and I had to get that off my chest. I'm still praying for Michelle to have a fast recovery and she is doing so good. Thanks for listening.
