We are not promised that when we have a relationship with God, nothing bad will ever happen to us. That's a very immature kind of idea about God. A more mature relationship is, "No matter what happens in my life, my relationship with You, God, is greater." Partnering with God gives us a strength and perception that tells us the kind of power within is greater than what's happening in the world and we know the truth, that we are not alone.
Mary Manin Morrissey
Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form. The child weaned from mother's milk now drinks wine and honey mixed. God's joy moves from unmarked box to unmarked box, from cell to cell. As rainwater, down into flower bed. As roses, up from the ground. Now it looks like a plate of fish and rice, now a cliff covered with vines, now a horse being saddled. It hides within these, till one day it cracks them open."
Rumi
Don't sit in judgment of your own lack of awareness or anyone else's. The action of judging demonstrates lack of awareness.
