The chorus of an old Christian hymn runs:

He lives! He lives! Christ Jesus lives today;

He walks with me, and talks with me

Along life’s narrow way;

He lives! He lives! Salvation to impart;

You ask me how I know He lives;

He lives within my heart.

AT some time in your life, you may have asked: ‘If there is a God who really cares about us, why does he permit so much suffering?’ All of us have experienced suffering or have known someone who has.

"Let me have men about me that are fat;

Sleek-headed men, and such as sleep o’ nights.

Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look;

He thinks too much.

Such men are dangerous"

__William Shakespeare’s "Julius Caesar"
