GOD & SUFFERING

-some self inflicted.. sin
-some are from others.. unfairness, bully
-natural disaster

-there are times we do heal without scars and times there are deep scars

-when we are in pain, we seek God for reason why are we sufferings, how to love in the midst of all the pain

-what is meant for evil God turn it to good for us
   -what is done evil is still evil

-when we are created, God gives us free will... we are not created as robot
   -giving us freewill will result in evil...
-God decided to come and join us in the suffering to be our redeemer

though we are created in the same image, but we are not alike yet..

-God allow Satan to remove the protection
-Satan gave Job all the suffering
   -lost all his wealth and children

Job continues to worship God even he lose everything he has

Satan strike Job with incurable disease from sole of the feet to crown of his head

Job still trust in God.. trust God for who He is and not His blessings

-Job is struggling, but never once give up His faith
   -it's ok to tell God that we are suffering

-God have a redeemable purpose for every suffering
-God has a purpose when He allow us to suffer hardship


this is the level of faith and trust we should have

-we will be glorious cos we are so changed that we will look like Jesus
-nothing shall separate us from the love of Christ
Jesus is always with us when we are in our sufferings
-in the midst of all the hardship, God wants to align us 
-to be like Jesus, is to be victorious in our sufferings
