Anyone thats overcome illness, death, addictions, afflictions and kept a positive outlook on life…
Many people question why God has man suffer, I don’t, two reasons,
1) I believe the bible tells us the answer, we are not in the dominion of God here on Earth it is therefore our choice as to if we look to God to overcome our tribulations.
Tribulation makes one stronger so long as you maintain a positive outlook and continue to look to God, If you do the answers will come
2) I believe in the simplicity of this; Without pain you could not know pleasure, without sadness you could not know Joy, if you look to the opposite of Bad it is good and God has given us the Choice as to which we choose.
Now for you that may be thinking, OK, sure, great, You probably have had it made all your life…
Not the case my friend. While it is true that I as a child I had a good family, food and the necessities of life and a good number of pleasures It is also true that I have suffered many great inflictions
Ill health - Diagnosed with Crohns Disease at 13 years old 6 major surgeries to many hospitalizations to count but well over 50
Addictions - With a family history of alcohol addiction I too succumbed to the temptation of the bottle for a period of my life, Sober now I realized that like all things God gave me the Power of Choice
Death of loved ones - Mother Passed when I was just barely 18 years old mom was why care taker while sick, my friend and a great woman
Most recently my father - One of the few men I can say I truly admired, one of my heroes, forever in my heart
So to think that I am speaking on the subject without knowing tribulation, these are just a few…
Only by the grace of God and his Good Son Jesus Christ could I say I would have made it through all these tribulations, God is good, He wants for you to succeed to be prosperous in all things, so let us now, Ask God for his blessing upon you your family and your business, always look to him first, place him before all things and you will be amazed!!
God Bless
PS - I am a layman, so for the clergy, bible study, college, higher education levels that want to blast me I will leave you with this…
I read from the bible and take from it that which I believe is Gods word to me for daily living.
Jesus spoke in Parables
A parable is one of the simplest of narratives. It sketches a setting, describes an action, and shows the results. It often involves a character facing a moral dilemma, or making a questionable decision and then suffering the consequences of that choice. As with a fable, a parable generally relates a single, simple, consistent action, without extraneous detail or distracting circumstances.
The defining characteristic of the parable is the presence of a prescriptive subtext suggesting how a person should behave or believe. Aside from providing guidance and suggestions for proper action in life, parables frequently use metaphorical language which allows people to more easily discuss difficult or complex ideas. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable)
In my words - A parable does not always translate the same from one party to another, I am convinced that this was the Brilliance of Jesus Christ, He spoke to the Masses in a single story to help ALL…I’m sure you have all experienced even in Church, An incredible Biblical discussion from the pulpit raises the people from their seats, many in awe but yet 100’s of lessons learned.
With hope you will enjoy my blog, if not maybe you can laugh It off, and if not “This to shall Pass”!
