God doesn't cause messes for a purpose but he brings purposes to the messes.
Greg Boyd
What deep waters in a pop maxim of only 14 words! Such a hope-'comet' to hang onto instead of the severely misguided theology of religious people--from Calvinists to Muslims--that claims God wills evil and suffering, that every typhoon, earthquake, and war are his idea.
On the contrary, in this fallen world, this unfinished cosmos, God is Unlimited Love seeking to guide us, to help us redeem the time and the place of where ever we are. Our destiny is not today's momentary temptation, superficial experience, or tragic event; we are called to live in the Light of his eternal purpose.
I John, I Corinthians 13, etc.
