One God with Many Faces
I've been hearing this a bit lately-- 'one God with many faces'.
As humans we experience many emotions. There are many facets to our personalities.
Different people depending on what role they play in another's life are exposed to different sides of one unique individual.
Some people bring out the best in others-- open them up, positive energy flows.
Other people bring out the worst in others-- shut them down, energy stops flowing or negative energy prevails.
So it may be with God.
It seems to me that more often than not(so far) in my own life, things happen on God's time. Yet I look at some other peoples' lives and it would seem as though God has left them untouched. It's as if God is sharing different sides of himself with different people and some may have more exposure to him than others.
Initially, some will view tragedy and life's difficulties as if they are a punishment from God. But with time, one may come to view these same events as a privlege, an honor. It's as if God is choosing to interact with some more than others--he dips his hands down into their lives and exposes them to things that they have never been aware of before, he shares a unique part of himself and in turn-- hopefully-- he opens them up, brings out the best in them.
