I have asked myself this question a thousand times, and yesterday, this is the answer God showed me. This does not mean from here on out things become dandy (stress-less), but it may help us, especially when it comes to certain things that happen to us in our walk with God.
Da T.R.U.T.H. (the singer), says that pain is the key to making us holy.
If you had a child that you protected from every danger and injury, we would say that the child is being spoilt. The child would grow up not being able to stand the dangers that will come. You can protect the child from some, but he/she needs to face some pain in order to grow.
Also, the experience will help the child comfort and encourage others who are going through the same situation to be strong.
When the child hurts, the father will stay by him, and sometimes even cry with him, but sometimes may not stop all the pain. It is not because the father hates the child, but knows that the pain is either for a short time, or for a purpose.
That honestly may not make you feel any better (really), but I want us to remember what God says to us in Rom 8:38-39
Rom 8:38 For I am certain that not death, or life, or angels, or rulers, or things present, or things to come, or powers,
Rom 8:39 Or things on high, or things under the earth, or anything which is made, will be able to come between us and the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
No matter what you are going through, be assured that God is with you and loves you, and that every situation that occurs in your life, none of it will stop the good things God has in store for you.
This week, read about Joseph and Daniel and Job. GOd keep you in him till the day of his coming. Amen
Have a grest day. :)
