Gospel of Love Video Series (39) - Why people lose faith in God

God does not get involved with all the little things that happen in this world. He is only indirectly responsible in the sense that He has established the laws of karma. But the laws of karma are such that the individual living being, the individual is completely responsible for his actions. That is the arrangement that God has established. The living beings, the individuals are completely responsible for their actions. And the reactions to their actions which are the result of those actions are entirely the responsibility of the individual.
Too many people lose faith in God because of this one perversion of their so-called previous relationship with God. Instead of them wanting to serve and love God, they want to be served by God. This becomes an upside-down relationship. It is really a figment of their imagination because in fact the Supreme Lord is no one's waiter or order supplier. So how we relate to God will determine how pleasing to God and how close to Him we will be.
