GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF EVIL
God did not cause your suffering. It is not His will for you to go through pain, for He is not cruel neither does He minimize what you are experiencing. He is kind, understanding and merciful.
Many believe they go through hardships because they think they are being punished by God due to something bad they did, and that is not true. It is logical that you will reap bad consequences when you do something bad. On the other hand, others suffer injustice without having done wrong to anyone, why? Because we are in a fallen world.
The truth is that the Lord has good plans and thoughts for us. He sees us accomplishing our dreams, restoring our families and marriage. He sees us living in abundance and not in poverty. He sees us up and not down. He has a good purpose with you and me.
Sometimes we are the ones that get ourselves into problems, but other times the devil is the one trying to make our lives miserable. The enemy wants to destroy and kill everything that looks like God and that is why he tried to kill Jesus on the cross of Calvary, but since he couldn’t do it, now he wants to kill you and me. Therefore, we will always experience opposition in this world.
What I am trying to tell you is that God is not at fault for what you have gone through. Even though you question, “Where was God when I was being abused?”. He has always been present, and it hurt Him very much to see you in that condition, because He is a Father too.
Do not allow bitterness to ruin God’s image in your life. He is good and He has carried you in His arms during the times you were unable to move forward that is why you are still here. Do not give up now, you have come so far and you are about to experience God’s kindness in your life.
Think about it:
Why have you felt angry with God?
What made you doubt God? How can knowing God is not the author of evil heal you?
