an emo god

Why can???t I teach you in the midst of joy? In what better way could I reveal the heart of who I am, goodness, then in the midst of something good? You believe I can only teach you in the midst of great hardship and hurt. But failure is not my only laboratory. Does not a father learn something profound about my miraculous goodness when he holds his newborn baby for the first time after delivery? Does not a bride not see my glory when she walks down the aisle toward her groom? Life and lessons cannot be limited to heartache....This is what I am wrestling with right now, the continued realization that I???ve made God into an emo god.

??I just read this over on Stuff Christians Like (SCL) and realized I also do this, as do alot of my friends and family... Pretty cool post, and a very good realization about myself and how I think...
