When God....

When God wants to drill a man
And thrill a man
And skill a man,

When God wants to mold a man
To play the noblest part;
When He Yearns with all His heart
To create so great and bold a man
That all the world shall be amazed,
Watch His methods, watch His ways!

How He ruthlessly perfects
Whom He royally elects!
How He hammers him and hurts him,
And with mighty blows converts him
Into trial shapes of clay which Only God understands,
While his tortured heart is crying
And he lifts beseeching hands!

How He bends but never breaks
When his good he undertakes,
How He uses whom He chooses
And which every purposes fuses him,
By every act induces him
To try His splendour out-
God knows what He's about!!

firsly there are sufferings all over the world. but that those weren't the intentions of God. When God first created adam and eve they as humans has the ability to obey or disobey God. However they rebelled agaisnt God and because of that we have taken the same route

'Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned' romans 5:12

we are responsible for it not God. and we would ask why not God make us so we couldnt sin? if He did then we would be machines and no longer human beings. therefore why there are suffering is because of sin. lookin at the bushfire, well that was caused by human beings after years and years of causing the ozone layer, greenhouse effect, etcetc.

now one would ask how God would feel in that situation? God does feel our suffering and knows what we're going thru, God was even despised, rejected by men, and familiar with sufferings. there are many things to explain but il leave that for now, if u do have any questions pls do email me =)

one thing I do know in the end is that God's pledge is not that suffering will never afflict us but it will never separate us from his love.
