The Grace of God
As we grow from youth to adult and into senior maturity we start off making up our minds using what we've learned what advice from others have taught us and sometimes just dumb luck. We grow with doing the best we can to carry our faith in a balanced fashion along the way. We have desires of our own along the way and we hope and pray those desires are not unpleasant to God for it is his ultimate approval we do seek. We do the best we can to balance living life and try and stay in the good graces of God. He knows all of this in us already and how difficult life is because he does want us to live and enjoy life and as well do it in the best way we can talking and praying with and to him all the time for he is a merciful God. The unforseen challenges is when we see folks in our families and or friends and other loved ones get sick to a point of suffering and maybe Dieing to soon. Sometimes it's even ourselves this happens to. God does not make tragedies happen these things happen from freewill. When Adam & Eve partook from the forbidden tree they choose for the human race freewill which is absent of God's constant influence. God told them that their choice would now let them have freewill and all the consequences that come with a life like that. From that time on there would be pain and suffering at the hand of violence from another person. There would be hate and sorrow. There would be evil in the hearts of man against another man. He warned that all these things and more came along with their choice of freewill. If they choose the way of God there would be peace and harmony no hunger. We'd be living already in God's kingdom. God has the ability to intervene and when he doesn't we cannot hold that against him for we made our choice and he makes his. Dont think that when he doesn't intervene that he is a cruel God because he is not. Give him thanks for he did not have to send his only begotten Son to die on the cross to cleanse us of our sins but he did. Be thankful for that and praise his name no matter what happens to you in life for his kingdom waits for us all.
