God's Presence

We often feel strangely at odds with the world around us, and yet God must have put us in this place for a reason, so how do we resolve this tension? 

A 1998 movie called City of Angels features Nicolas Cage as an angel who falls in love with a human woman. As an angelic being, he apparently has no sense of taste, smell or touch and only gains these after he becomes mortal in order to have a romantic relationship with this woman.

Problems and suffering in life can sometimes feel relentless, so how do we endure when our trials and complications just don’t stop coming?

God has three uncomfortable gifts to us that invite us into his presence, but usually we’d rather not accept what he’s offering. 

As the old hymn says, God moves in mysterious ways, but how often are we willing to trust that fact, or do we attempt to unveil the Lord enigmatic designs?
