Thinking again

So I was driving home and this man on a bicycle was riding like he was in a car. Just using whatever lane he wanted and going all over the road. Common in other countries but so much here.

He decided he wanted to turn left at an intersection and right as he got to it the light turned RED! I didn't think he would stop and prepared myself to watch him get hit by a car. He stopped. Phew.

The incident reminded me of a time in Florida when I witnessed a not so smart person on a motorcycle do something stupid while trying to show off. BAM, right into the back of an SUV. It was horrible to witness and I cried. I think I might have even let out a little scream.

This is when I started thinking about all the times I have screamed because something startled me, shocked me, angered me, or just surprised me in such a way that an uninvited, unexpected, unpremeditated SCREAM came out.

I began to wonder if God screams. After all we are made in his image and these times when I've screamed for these types of situations seem to just happen. Like instinct or something. Like something designed into my being for some unknown reason. So, I ask you, does God scream?

If He does. What would cause Him to scream. What horror or injustice would be so terrible that God would just scream? Nothing surprises Him so I know that would never be the cause. No, I guess as I think about it God would never scream. Not in the sense I do.

But He does cry. What makes God cry?

Think about it.

I don't know if God screams...I can't imagine Him screaming...but I think he MUST cry. He is love and He loves perfectly. I love, but my love is so shallow and self-centered, yet there are things that happen in my life and in the world in general that have made me cry...even events in the lives of people I don't know personally. So I belive God must cry because He sees every tragedy, every injustice...He sees it all. And Jesus wept...even though He knew He would raise Lazurus from the dead. He wept because he saw people He loved experiencing sorrow and grief. I do believe God must cry.
