Well, I never been to much school, you understand, but it seems to me that you're assuming something you shouldn't assume.. that God sees the world like you do; one thing at a time, from just one spot. Seems to me that he's supposed to be everywhere, know everything..Think about that; he knows what you're feeling, how you're hurting. Feels my pain, your pain like it was his own. Hell son, the question isn't how God could care about just one person; question is, how could he not? .Jim Butcher
About This Quote
In the above quote, from the movie "The Shawshank Redemption," Red talks to Andy about God’s omnipresence. Red says that a man who has a vision of God can see him everywhere at once. He says that thinking that God is only in one place is a mistake because if he were only in one place, he would not be there to help people. Red also talks about how God cares for us and our suffering. The attitude of a person who suffers is important to God, so he does not abandon us when we are in pain.
