God did not create a meaningless world.
I’ve done these lessons a number of times, and I don’t want my contemplations to become rote, the same old - same old. It doesn’t mean the horrors will necessarily be different, but I want the list to be genuine and the feelings that come with it to be genuine. So I began with, Lord, here I am. And I waited as my mind cleared of the meaningless thoughts, knowing that I would be guided to the horrors I needed to see.
I took my time and let each one have its moment. And when I followed it with “and so it is not real,” I let myself feel the relief that comes with that belief. I started with the immediate, my son’s depression.
I ended with a more general cruelty, unkindness, and self-centeredness of the separated ones. And with each, I reminded myself that not one of them could not be real because God did not create them. Afterward, I felt peace and strength knowing that we are as God created us and will always be so, no matter what we dream up to experience.
God did not create a meaningless world.
