Like I said, I wanted to say it to her, but didn’t.
Suffering is a tool of God to teach people to seek a better path. I do not view suffering as punishment, but a learning experience, the outcome which I desire is for them to turn to God.
If I pray for a person and the Holy Spirit causes them great discomfort, it is not to punish them, but to motivate them to change. It is the Love from God that creates discomfort for those who hold onto sin.
It is not a judgement, but a reality. If you drown from trying to breathe under water, that is not a judgement of you, even though it reflects where you are at in your learning experiences. Darwin Awards are real.
I’m glad you did not send it I missed that part. Yes god uses suffering to speak to us but it is not our job to gloat over someone’s suffering or rub it in. I see way too much of that. As the world descends deeper into darkness too many christians forget that fellow Christians are your Blood bought brother or sister in Christ. Whether vaccinated or not. Whether a believer in ivermectin or not. Whether a conservative or not. This is the time the burch should shine brighter abs instead I see the same divisions pettiness and meanness going on in society at large mirrored in our interactions, some by people who display the name of Christ the loudest. I am guilty as are all of us. I resolve to do better and apologize to all of brothers and sisters I have replied to ina way not fitting to their status as brother or sister of mine
