The suffering I'm referring to is the millions of children born into this world who won't make it to see their 5th birthday due to malnutrition and/or disease. If you were God, would you be able to preside over a world such as ours without intervening?

We are into new territory here...
Does God preside over the Earth?
Is he at our beck and call?
does he do His will or ours?
Do we have sufficient information to judge his calls?
The holy spirit guides those that let him.
God has given us such abilities as we have.
Jesus has taught us.

It seems to me the ills of this world are down to us not God.

Love is something you move and create in,
it is transformational, free, and healing.
Love is restorative, renewing and true.
Love is something you DO.

To live deep in the heart of Love,
is to live deep in the heart of God.
To move and create and live in the ultimate awakened experience.
Love is the highest Majik.

This for me is also God.
