We often try to help God out by taking a shorter route or being impatient God does not need our help we just messes things up and the infliction sometimes we cause on our selves. he does everything for our good whether it pain, sorrow and even happiness. Jesus suffered and died and did no wrong who are we not to suffer just a little to learn a lesson.

I cant say that im really sure if god does it to us or is it that we do it to our self. I know we have choices and sometimes those choices causes sorrow but what about the sorrow that comes through someone eals is it someting we did or what. I cant for the life of me understand this consept and how we endure so much. sometimes i beleive that its because we are in the light of our sin and others and thats why we are effected so much. well i do beleive someday we will know when we get to heaven.

Everything happens for a reason…why the good shall suffer and the bad not…why the young shall be taken and not the old, when we stand before him on judgement day it will all be explained to us then, keep your faith. Give everyday to the Lord and thank him for everything and everyone in you life.

God Is Good….All The Time….All The Time….God Is Good!

We live in a fallen world, yet God is still in control. Thus we experience both joy and sorrow as a matter of the nature of things. But if we belong to Christ, our joy and sorrow belong to him also, making me closer to him. This is why I am greatful in ALL things.

But what about the person who discovers he/she has cancer? Or the children in Haiti who are suffering from the earthquake? Or if we look at Job’s story, who was a righteous man, but suffered much. We can’t blame these people, assuming they put on their own affliction. We don’t know their hearts; only God can know. I do believe that there are instances where God does intentionally use suffering to do His will. It tests us, and pushes us to grow, knowing that we are fully relying on Him.

I do not believe that it is God’s nature or desire to put affliction in our lives. We, in our sin nature, put affliction on ourselves. God can and will use that affliction to show and teach us that there are better ways to live and be. Thank you and God bless. Maureen
