God Doesn't Hate You
This might be a shocking and perplexing concept, but, God doesn't hate you.
He didn't let your parents get a divorce to torture you or to make you feel anguish because he likes to watch you squirm.
He didn't allow that tumor to grow in your body to display how powerful and full of wrath he is.
He didn't plant the feeling that you were made in the wrong body and gender to see how amusing it would be.
He simply allows these things to be done to us by the god of the earth (Satan; 2 Corinthians 4:4) and gives us the opportunity to run to him for solstice and healing.
He lets us go through struggle and deprivation to show us how much we need him and how the only thing we can control about situations is how we respond to them and how we can reach out to him for comfort and reliance.
We must be broken before God can use us to our maximum potential.
God isn't a child with a magnifying glass aiming a sun beam at Earth, watching us burn.
He is just, his love is limitless and his movements in our life are always for our betterment.
It takes pain to know peace, and discomfort to know blessing.
How can one minister to another with full understanding if they have not gone through similar trials them-self?
We go through struggles so God can pull us out of them and then use us to pull others out of them and into freedom.
