Subject: How our Loving God commanded such things |
Bible Note: Speaking as a parent, it's difficult like you say for a child to truly love, see and understand love like the parent would prefer UNTIL the child learns to respect the parent. In the same way, we as God's children must respect Him for Who He is and What He represents then we should find it easier to love Him AND see His love for us. It's a growth process. Some folks never learn very much Godliness from this process. Others learn a tremendous amount and become great leaders in their generation of christians about them. Me, I'll settle for being somewhere in between. This is sometimes a rather difficult subject to deal with especially for those of us going through a lot of suffering, pain and anguish. We don't really want to believe that God would allow all this bad stuff happen to us, even upon reading the story of Job. That's just another Book in our Bible but to Job, his friends and family, it was a very real story and it really did happen just exactly like God tells it. So, the bottom line is: We're NOT going to get a nice, easy "comfortable" answer to questions like this. We either have to accept God's supreme sovreignty or not. We can choose to accept His Love or reject it. This is all made plain in the Books of Genesis and Job. Blessings to you. Country Girl |
