Therefore, God is responsible for both the good and bad things that happen to a person. I don't think that God is "outraged" when bad things happen, the way we are, since by definition he knows before they happen. Yes, I think Christians would have to acknowledge that it all flows from God.

Life is only meaningful because we have the right to choose...the ability to learn from mistakes, the chance to succeed, and from time to time - experience pain and suffering. The difference between being programmed for goodness and choosing it is precisely what makes being good significant. The brutal truth of the matter is - In God's view, even the best person on earth today still has sin in his life."<br /><br />I wonder if those of us with "strong" faith, would have such a conviction if we were not living a "priviledged" life? If we lived on the streets, and out of garbage bins, would we have the faith and belief we have living in our comfy homes, with a fair dose of mod cons?<br /><br />I reckon that those unfortunate, underprivileged street dwellers, who Believe, and live according to the Lord's will, probably have the strongest faith of us all.Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020970904311512357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-46083628030525459422013-09-09T00:42:48.695-05:002013-09-09T00:42:48.695-05:00I believe God loves me warts and all so I don'...I believe God loves me warts and all so I don't dwell much on the reasons things happen.

When good times come they never stop to reason why or thank God, they just expect that they deserve it, but God is always blamed for the bad things in life. When more often than not, the bad times are a result of the life that person has lived and the damage they have done to their bodies. Not always, but I would say the majority of times. My dad is a prime example of the "not always." He was a clean living man that lived to be 50 years old. Never touched a drop of alcohol in his life, but because of ulcerated colitis that he had as a teenager, he died with a liver that looked like an alcoholics. When met at the post office one day he was asked, "Why are you having to suffer like this?" His response, "Why not me?" The Bible says it rains on the just and the unjust. Good and bad times come to ALL people, but those that are serving God and looking with longing for His return and an eternity in Heaven find that the hard times are easy to endure with Christ by their side.Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13900769450746649866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-20571436996698653202013-09-08T21:41:30.828-05:002013-09-08T21:41:30.828-05:00God?

The hummingbird touched me...<br /><br /><br />Matthew 6:25-34<br />New International Version (NIV)<br />Do Not Worry<br /><br />25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?<br /><br />28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.<br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133536831768116784noreply@blogger.com
