"Like a friend, but in a way no other friend can, God shares our every experience, our joys and sorrows, our hopes and fears. God is with us in our moments of greatest guilt and despair, yet God's love for us never wavers. In each moment, God takes in our feelings and decisions and responds to them by calling us to redeem from those experiences whatever good can be gotten, and to move from them in directions that can, in the future, yield much greater good." - C. Robert Mesle (Process Theology)
