Today's Early Church Wisdom
“None of us offers resistance when he is seized, or avenges himself for your unjust violence, although our people are numerous and plentiful…it is not lawful for us to hate, and so we please God more when we render no requital for injury…we repay your hatred with kindness.”
~ St. Cyprian, Bishop of Carthage (died 258AD)
This week's Psalm is Psalm 30 'Joy Comes With The Morning'

Does God Exist?

What do you think?

There are those who deny the existence of God. I was once one of them. I could not accept that God was real. But looking back, I can recognise that my desire to reject Him was based more on a dislike of Him than on a conviction of His non-existence. I thought that if there was a God, He must be a very unpleasant individual to allow all the suffering on earth. It was only when I had an encounter with God that my position changed. I
experienced His love moving and working within me, and I knew then that I had got things wrong, badly wrong. Far from being an unloving Deity whom I could despise for His cruelty, I discovered that He was the most loving Being in the universe, that He only ever acted out of love, and that He had a plan to heal the suffering of all. My eyes were also opened to the true cause of suffering. Far from God being its author, I saw that it was a consequence of sin, and that sin originated with Satan, not God. If you do not yet believe in God, I pray that you will meet Him as I did. If you do, I pray that you will choose to meet with Him daily and so live in His love.
