Providence is ....

Paul Tillich says that Providence is... "When death rains down from heaven as it does now, when cruelty wealds power over the nations and individuals as it does now, when hunger and persecution drive millions from place to place as they do now, and when prisons and slums all over the world distort the humanity of the bodies and souls of people as they do now - we can boast in that time, and just in that time, that even all this cannot separate us from the love of God."
