God never gives up on us no matter how hard we try to get ourselves loose. God does not let go. That doesn't mean he controls everything we do.

When we go through afflictions, he allows us to choose our response. But no matter what our response may be, he sticks around to the bitter end.

My conversion from a pessimistic atheist lost in a world I didn't understand, to an optimistic believer in a universe created and sustained by a loving God is crucial to me.

God is inside you and inside everybody else. You come into the world with God. But only them that search for it inside find it.
