I imagine the meeting we will have with Christ as a speechless one — like the way the father of the prodigal son embraced and kissed his son, without saying a word. He was speechless out of love, deeply moved by the joy of that moment.
God is full of love for us even now, and we should remain constantly aware of that. In spite of the great troubles and pains we face, we need to be fully persuaded that He is still there with us, watching us with deep affection.
What we fail to grasp is the logic behind the allowance of such difficulties.
Why did He allow the Holocaust?
Why has He allowed, throughout human history, the deaths of millions of helpless children — children with great expectations from life, who looked eagerly to the years ahead?
We must humbly acknowledge that we are not able to fully comprehend these mysteries.
What we can do is accept that, despite these many tragedies, we will eventually receive answers from God — and they will be logical.
What we can only guess at by intuition now will one day be made clear and understandable by Him.
He made us out of His gentle love, and we will live forever in that gentle love.
And perhaps it was this very gentleness that made the rebel angel imagine — wrongly — that he could defeat the Almighty.
