Sometimes
it's tempting to think people deserve their problems. And sometimes
we do. Some of us have turned doing stupid things that mess up our
lives into an art form.
But
sometimes, often even, bad things happen to good people. Like me.
Like you. Like us. People who love God. It's actually God's kindness
to us, to bring us closer to him.
We
tend to think our closeness to God and our experience with him will
keep the bad things away. But do you see how that thought-pattern
leads to trusting our experience instead of God?
Our
experience with God is not meant to protect us from trials, but to
safeguard us through them.
