Z,
God is not in love with our strengths but our weaknesses. Our strengths must feel like fiction to Him. Who are we against ill-winds or awful nature or terrible tragedy? We are strong in relation to calm seas, either as a starting point or as an endpoint. We endure so we can get to that other place. We do not live in chaos and if chaos were endless, we would not want to live there for any amount of infinite time.
Our weakness is our core humanity. We do not know but we aspire to knowledge. We are full of mistakes, but we seek true wisdom and, at out best, we refuse to give up or let go until those moments when body and heart give up and we have no choice. That reach for the eternal, beyond even religious interpretation, is the very spark of God that we are never truly rid of. It is proof that all this is not futile and even at the darkest points of the ongoing night, we are still on our way home.
