life is never fair!

was listening to this podcast, The rocky way to God's favor, by Pastor Elwin Ahu

one thing i got from today's podcast was really this, life is NEVER fair. however God is still fair! one of the most commonly asked questions today.

if there is a God, why does He allows suffering?

The answer to this is, God NEVER intended to allow suffering!

Genesis 3:17
 To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat of it,' "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.

it was only because sin came into our lives that suffering came along as well!

there was this guy mentioned in the podcast, he went thru many things even when he really loved and followed God. but he knew what was unfair was life, not God. in fact, a great example of that would be Jesus! He went thru pains, shame, scorn, cross, everything when in the first place He was never at fault!


and ppl also ask questions like why God allows us to fall? and even blames God for that.

and this good example was given, let's say you are father of a child. and ur child is trying to learn how to ride a bike, you wouldn't always be rushing to pick ur child up because you know that only thru falling down can ur child learn where they've gone wrong and attempt to do it right. however that definitely doesn't mean tt you don't love ur child! it's precisely u love them, tt is why u know tt they have to fall to learn. and you definitely dun see a reason to why the child should blame the dad for nt catching him!

but saying that, God's grace is always there to break ur fall still, such that it would never be impossible for u to get up=) thank You God! I LOVE YOU! heh=D




learned many other things today too. but one thing i know, i definitely love my caregroup! ED1 Allouts! we are a small group, we don't have many things, i am not very experienced too. but i know that is the reason why i love leading our grp more! because we can experience so much of God together amen?=D that definitely sounds so much more exciting man! moving towards 8! i believe God will bring us beyond that number though=) look forward to knowing you guys so much more!

and lastly really want to thank God for my loving brother, alfonso! im never good at many things, and recently my wallet's pocket is so torn that coins can never stay inside it! and i asked him for help to sew it up, and now it's old, but to me it's new and i love it really much! thanks alot!=)
