JESUS Blessed my Life this week

Christy/BearSwampChick -

I don't have a good answer to that. The world can be an amazingly cruel thing. I do know that God helps those who turn to him, and that everywhere I look in nature, I see His hand. How else can you explain the moutains, sunsets, snow, etc., etc., etc.

Just like you have a hard time believing in a benevolent God, I have a hard time believing it would be possible for all this to be a result of the natural progression of a growing universe. But I absolutely respect you and your opinions & feelings.

I know I would really have a hard time if something ever happened to one of my family, especially my granddaughter.

When God created humankind, he made us with free choice. Some people use free choice for good, and some use their free choice for horrible evil.

God did not create humankind with attached puppet strings so he could control us. He wanted people to come to him as a result of our desire to know him.

Personally, I wish he would have made us puppets and yanked the strings of anyone about to commit cruel acts.

Luvmychickenkids, may you be blessed by the universe for what you've done for those little girls. It must be a burden to your heart...

Yep, I won't go on and on, cause I don't want to, however you have to realize that Jesus Christ doesn't come to you....you have to go to him....? with open arms and a willing heart to be forgiven for feeling so bitter, because life is a blessing that doesen't last that long and it varies in length here on earth.... when in reality you should be thanking God for the experience we call life.

It's never fair, that's not what life is all about.

I agree, If God zapped someone everytime they strayed off the course of righteousness then what kind of freewill could we have. I've noticed that the blame for wrong doing is either God's fault or the devil's, could it just possibly be the persons fault that commits the crime. This world as unjust as it may seem at times is really truly a masterful piece of work! We are given a freewill to choose to follow good or evil, a freewill to choose to impact for good the people around us or to tear them down, a freewill to build character or to simply throw our lives away. Because of this freewill and our ability to make choices (sometimes wrong), God through His infinite wisdom and thinking does allow things to happen that we don't understand. Gods ways are way above ours and eventhough we have a freewill He still remains in control, and everything that happens He either allows or causes so that the person involved or those around them will be drawn closer to him. I know that there are some reading this post that choose not to believe in a devine creator and I respect their rights, but with all the wrong in this world there is still alot of good. The first step is to find a peaceful place outdoors and just look around at all the plants, trees, insects, birds, animals,edible fruits, stars, planets and I could go on and on, and if after making this observation you can still say yep it just all went bang and here we are then thats your choice and I respect that, but if you say yes there had to be a purpose for this then move on to step two. Who and why? Here again the water has become quite cloudy but most choices can be thrown out with a little common sense. It is my opinion that God has made it quite clear of the true path and that is Jesus. Jesus came to show the way and ever since that time people have been glorifying Jesus by their actions or clouding up the truth. It is man's selfishness and lack of accountability that is the cause of evil in the world not God's. I am truly sorry that luvmychicknkids has witnessed personally the tragic offenses to those young children as I am a father of three young children myself and when innoscent children are mistreated I too have feelings that are not so nice. I will pray that God protects those children and it is my prayer that he blesses you.

I think actions would probably be welcomed more than all the prayers in the world.
Who cares if there is a heaven, as long as you do all you can to make THIS world a better place?
I think it's wonderful, the capacity for human compassion and caring. I just wish it was practiced a little more often.

Jesus blessed me and my family this week by bringing my son home safely from Iraq. Finally after 15 long months I can sleep easy without the constant worry.

I happen to care that there is a Heaven, it is the hope of eternity and final justice that gets me through the valley's of this life. I also agree that there is a great lack of action today.

We had a total blessing last night..

We got home from church around 8 I got the kids all ready for bed and off to bed they went by 8:20.. Didn't notice a thing.. well our 10 yo got up around 9 and said.."dad it is really hot" so he went to the thermostat and lowered the temp a degree.. and it was 83 degrees in the house

the AC was not turning on. I called the electric company we have this good cents select thing that we pay for and I couldnt get a hold of the proper people...during my fustration I realized .. oh God could totally fix this instantly.. and during my time of fustraition with the power company.. between calls.. I asked my husband .. will you pray for the AC.. he stoped and prayed (I really think he has the gift of prayer) well by the time I got a hold of someone and we went through all the "tests" the lady said well everything sounds fine.. but we have an on call service I will contact them and have them give you a call.. 2 min later I get a call and he came over 10 min later.. he fixed the AC one wire had somehow gotten loose..

but he came over at 10:30 last night.. HOW COOL IS THAT!! Sent like an angel.. God so cares about every little thing.. even AC..

and to add he cares about my chicken too .. she got lost last night and this morning safe and sound!

Still being blessed daily here sometimes small sometimes big but all a blessing. Glad to hear that your AC is fixed. Here this morning at 9 am it was 42 degrees in the sun LOL. Winter is coming early in the UP of MI. Nice break from the heat of last week.
