2 | God allowing things in our lives | 2 Tim 3:16 | skccab | 193852 | ||
Gye, Thank you. I do agree that the Father can and does get involved with His children in ways that to us seem to be not "good." A failing business, to cause that child to re-think what he/she's doing, maybe the purchase of a much-wanted home seems to be getting thwarted, to cause that child to re-think what he/she's doing, not getting the promotion so eagerly sought, etc. But I don't think the Father would put something as horrible as cancer or aids on His child to teach a lesson. Neither do I think that the person who has cancer or aids or any of those horrible diseases is a person out of God's will or unsaved or being punished. We may not be of the world but we are in it and therefore subject to the bad things that are here. And like you cited in 2 Cor. 12, if we give it to Him it can all be used to His glory!! And in Him we are MORE than conquerors! Cheri |

Cheri, I don't know if I ever mentioned this to you but I co-lead a ministry within my fellowship that ministers to the physically and emotionally challenged. Things constantly change in the lives of people and it can be easy to look at things as a curse, when in reality they can be a blessing from God. As Paul says, when I am weak then I am strong. These past four years have been a real eye opener for me. It's helped me realize that that any strength I have isn't my own but His. It's Grace sweetie and that's why I'm still here today. In Him, lionheart |
