Wasn’t Doubting St. Thomas Lucky?

Wasn’t Thomas lucky?
He didn’t believe the Lord has Risen, and he was given the chance to see Him. After saying that he wanted to lay his hands on the wounds before he would really believe that He was alive again, Jesus showed up and allowed him to touch the Divine Wounds in his hands…
What about the rest?… Us?…
We also doubt, but why doesn’t God show up and whack us in the ass for not believing in Him? Why doesn’t He show up in our dreams and torment us until we believe in Him? Or why doesn’t he hurl down lightning in our midst everytime we speaks blasphemy against Him?
Stupid.. Very stupid questions..
God shows Himself to us in different forms and ways, but we are too blind to see them.. I too, though I write this in His defense, am too blind to see Him around us and I still doubt Him though I am telling you this… I just know that it is the Truth.. That He loves us.. That He knows what is Evil and not Evil… He knows what is wrong or right.. But we sometimes are too overwhelmed by the RULES that we impose upon ourselves, old rules that have rooted out from our past ignorance and close-mindedness..
We live in the present.. And a better understanding of things is at hand, but we don’t embrace it.. We stick to our RULES…
No! Don’t even think for a second that I’m trying to tell people to kill people or to rape or to steal.. Those are, indeed, wrong.. But take the case of the Witch Burnings by the Christian faith in the past.. Woman who seek to rule or to voice out are tagged as witches and are burned.. It was wrong then for women to voice out and speak.. But today, it is not.. I hope you get my idea.
Anyways, God loves us… He does..
Think about it…
Doubt like St.Thomas, and ask Him to let you put your finger in his wounds… Then, understand the things that will come your way.. Open your eyes..

hey…sorry ha?i’ve been quite busy nowadays since i carry my own burdens too..being doubtful is always a matter of choice..how funny that most of us tend to believe merely on the things that we perceive as tanglible enough for our earthly senses…that’s practically very human..constantly we should be reminded of what lies on the opposite side of the coin…there’s more than what we can simpy see…it’s the presence that prevails…God is all about goodness..peace..love…mercy..benevolence…if these have been prevalent..then He really does exist…in this confounded world where we gyrate in…there are but only two certain answers..”yes” and “no”…choose…when you’re dubious about it…then certainly be damned in such murky thoughts…God doesn’t have to come down and beat our ass to make us realize what we do..since to such extent we aren’t ignorant from what is right and from what is wrong…He gave us the freewill remember?then it’s all up to us…then one day we shall simply pay for it’s price…that’s all…aaahhh..i’m not sure if i’m making sense…hay jm?you’re funny…how would you know that He loves us when you seem not to believe in Him?when you are doubtful of his true existence?accdg.to the book,”the celestial prophesy”..the universe unfolds itself if you only submit to it…things happen coz we let them happen…you only get answers when you are all ears…
