(beavis by Tom Stone)Many people might think God is distant sometimes, but put yourself in this man's shoes...
- Is God with him as he picks his scabs to find a good spot for his morning fix?
- Is God with him as he looses his home, money, food, and sanity?
- Where is God when this man needs him the most?
God is right there beside him every step...
Do you realize that over EIGHTY percent of heroin users "shoot-up" or "mainline" with a partner...
But EIGHTY percent of those that have overdosed are found alone.
Is must be frightening to think, that while this addict is "cooking" his daily fix, God is right there with him. I mean truly, standing next to him, watching the fallen push for a rush. And God is there every time an addict pushes harder and falls victim to their addiction, and the monster takes another as his own...
Why then, don't we wonder, if God is omnipresent, omnipotent, "omniawesomeness" does this poor unfortunate soul have to suffer?
“to the one who has chosen . . . the complete loneliness of being-only-for-oneself, God himself enters into his very loneliness as someone who is even more lonely"

Hans Ur von Balthasar
We distance ourselves from God, not the other way around. We cover our eyes and make God invisible... but for us to believe the impossible, we must first see the invisible.
If we take reference from The Creation of Adam, by Michelangelo. Then we can see that all we have to do is lift a finger to be able to touch God...
