(M) A great quote.

Loving, here - a reason I don't believe in "Miracles" is, that is NOT WHAT A LOVING 'FATHER' DOES!!! detail

FB note to a really loving, homeless outreach, church group that has been very good to me, at times:

Hi friends. This is weighing on my mind, so I share. No reply expected or needed, and please always KNOW, I NEED YOU to disconnect from me when I become an unhealthy force in your lives. 

I don't believe in physical Miracles, Healings, etc. There are many reasons, but the one that is the most important to me - THIS IS NOT WHAT A LOVING 'FATHER' DOES. I mean, a loving Father hears his child's desperate plea for help, but sits on the sidelines, NOT HELPING, until some 'believer' comes and Praises Him, Tells Him how much she or he Loves Him, that He is Great... and then when that Father, IF that Father, hears such an intercessor, then, and only then, that Father gets off his ass and does something???? That is not what Loving does! That is NOT my Father. WE are the ONLY miracle that was put here - none other. The Father is hands off now. It is up to us, His Loving now OUR Loving in our Hearts, to be the Miracle. No other Miracle is needed. Your brother forever, no matter what
