Eyes not Ears

Eyes not Ears

(A Reflection on The Problem of Evil)

I was;

Wounded by a human hand,

Slandered by a human tongue,

And Shunned by a human group.

Should I be mad, or angry, or distressed? Of course, It is only human. But ...

When human hands helped me heal I saw the hand of God.

When human tongues spoke kind words I heard the voice of God,

When human groups welcome me I met the people of God.

I pray for those who did me wrong. They may yet do evil but I hope not. The real lesson is not in the hurting but in seeing God in the healing. Like Job ...

"I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you"
