I know God loves me, too. I ...Hard questions. . . I know God loves me, too. I believe He allows us to experience the effects of living in a mortal world because it is the only way for us to grow and learn all that we need to learn. If we shielded our own children from every trial, every hard experience, we would stunt their growth and keep them from reaching their full potential. I have to trust that He knows what He is doing, and that His promises are sure--the blessings He has in store for me in the next life will far outweigh the trials I experience in this one.<br /><br />Hope you're doing ok. :)Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15979445493802543128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3195625730122318343.post-88575502703533770792009-06-03T19:20:26.712-07:002009-06-03T19:20:26.712-07:00Thank you for sharing.
I'm having a hard time...Thank you for sharing.<br /><br />I'm having a hard time right now. I know the things you are speaking of, yet i struggle. I'm not caught up in the "why do babies die" or similar issues. It just seems to me that God is ineffective. I know this is largely because i don't understand.<br /><br />Our pastor talks of when Abram said to God, "What good are you if i don't have a son?" Part of me feels that way right now. I know i'll get over it, but it is a struggle right now. <br /><br />I love Madeline L'Engle's books. I'd not heard of her for some time now. She used to be "Writer in Residence" for one of the magazines i got. So i did the search & learned she died in 2007. I had missed that news somehow. <br /><br />Thank you, as always, for sharing.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03272307621143522274noreply@blogger.com
