Why does God appear to be turning away from people sometimes

by Lady Z

Created on: September 09, 2008

Out of His greatest creation, God spends more time creating human beings to His fullest perfection. He gives us brains as a generator so that we would be able to think, analyze and rationalize every action and things happening around us. For many of us He gives us capable pair of limbs so that we would be able to move, carry and execute some actions. In fact there are trillions of us that He creates everyday, yet each and everyone of us are distinctive in our own ways; different in looks, character and personality though there can be similar traces at times.

Now I could understand why God turns his back from us sometimes. Let us take a step back to reflect on our own actions. Think about the number of times we sing praises to Him in a day. How many of us actually thank Him for letting us see another day every morning when we wake up? Do we pray to Him to grant us success and wealth before we go to work daily? Do we thank Him for the food that is granted to us at each and every meal, even for a handy sausage that we grab at the bystanders? Now what about all the laments and complains we utter throughout the day, apart from the swearing and curses directed to our bosses and people who stand in our way?

Most of the times we are unaware that our own actions are the ones that made God turns away from us. Indeed, it is our human nature to err and God's prowessness to forgive but most times, we tend to take advantage of this attribute of His. We would turn to him when we face a crisis. Some of us might be praying vehemently asking for a way out and asking for forgiveness at the same time. It is only in time in crisis that we would be full of remorse and reflect on the various sins that we have engaged ourselves in. We would then make a promise to God that we would repent and stay away from all those wrongdoings with the hope that God would hear and accept our promise, thus immediately take us out of the crisis. Some of us, on the other hand, might choose to sigh and scorn Him for the trouble we are going through.

Despite the scolding God receives, He is still kind enough to alleviate all our sufferings. He might not do it immediately because He knows that human beings are full of empty promises. Once problems have been lifted from us, we would go back to our old selfish ways and not be bothered about a hood or dime that is happening to His other creations in pursuit of our own interest. After all, He is All-Knowing and Almighty and He has His own special ways of doing things but as human beings, we should at least make it a point to make Him a part of our daily lives because we have to remember that without Him, there would never be us.
