Searching for the substance of things unseen

My volunteer trip to India - begining in Bangalore. The prime purpose is to grow in my relationship with God... to experience and express his love...

I guess there's two attitudes one can take. One can say: "God, I don't accept this world you've created, with all it's pain and suffering... I despise what you've done, and I will battle against the pain." Or one can say: "God, I don't know why you've made it this way. I don't know why you've allowed this person to suffer; but I know you've made me to help."
God, I want to work to relieve suffering, especially in the developing world. I don't know how I'm going to go about doing it. But I don't want to be rash about it, and rush after the closest possibility to help, because I know I can do far more harm than I could possibly imagine. I want to wait for you... But please encourage me, strengthen me, and let me know that you will use me...
