Knowing vs. Feeling

"Oh the glory that the lord has made
And the complications when I see his face
In the morning in the window
Oh the glory when he took our place
But he took my shoulders and he shook my face
And he takes and he takes and he takes"

--Sufjan Stevens

I know God is good, yet sometimes it feels like He only takes. Especially when you are constantly faced with human suffering in the field of human rights, let alone experiencing the suffering yourself.
