I couldn’t trust God if I suspected God was behind our deepest griefs and injustices. This is where the sovereignty arguments break down for me. I don’t blame God for much anymore. I see God as the rescue from the injustices, not the cause of them. I see God as the redeemer of the pain, not the origin of it. I see the promise of sovereignty not as hypercontrol over the minute and painful details of the world, but as a faithful promise that all things will be restored, all things will be redeemed, all things will be rescued. And again, I go back to our Jesus.
