My thinking on that is that God is God. We don’t get to choose what sort of god God will be. He is Who He is. As for us humans, we tend to view everything from our own perspective, as if God exists for us rather than us existing for God. My belief is that God created us for His pleasure, not so much ours. Our pleasure should come in worshiping Him— not because He forces us to, but of our own free will. When we begin to realize this, at least this has been my experience, our lives become more centered and peaceful. Just my 2 cents— worth what you paid for it...

A bit hurtful comment to a mom who lost her child. It was the death of my child that brought me to the low point in my “self-directed” life. That is what allowed me to seek the God of all answers. When everything is lost there is only One place to go. My prayer for you is that you will somehow experience the joy of finding the Almighty God of life who loves you beyond what you can imagine. All He ever asks is that you love Him back and let Him lead the way. Therein lies peace.
