We do not have to create good. We do not have to persuade God to be Love, or Life, or Truth, or Intelligence. We do not have to ask Him to remember us. We only need accept the undeniable power and truth of good. Fundamentally, evil is a false belief about the power and availability of good.
All evil arises from the denial of good or in accepting the limitation of good. However, we should understand that all “bad” things that happen in our lives are not evil. God sends sunshine, and rain, light and darkness, winter and summer to all creatures and all creation. Evil enters the picture when we fail to accept or actively reject the fundamental goodness of all God’s gifts. The actions flowing from such denial and rejection manifest the full range of sinful thoughts, words and deeds. Sin is separation from God. We can not be one with Him while judging and rejecting His gifts. Adam and Eve were the first to understand. The rest of us have been trying ever since.
Still trying,
