God hates the sin because He loves the sinner
If God really loved me then he would get me out of this situation and storm. We all think things like this at times. Things like, if God cared He would come down and give me a sign. We all want a close relationship with Him but push Him away and get mad for things that are usually our fault. I want you to think of your parents or guardian. Did they let you run into the road? Did they let you touch the hot burner? No, because they loved you and didnt want you to get hurt. They knew information before hand that at the time you didn't, like cars hurt or burns sting. Have you ever heard the saying, "You learn from your mistakes"? Well, God gives us choices to make on if we choose to be tempted or choose to sin so that we can learn from our mistakes and depend more on our mighty Father. He hates to see us stray or sin because we are His children and He wants us to be with Him in Heaven for eternity. God does love us and He is our Father. I was saying before that parents or guardians have a prior knowledge that we may not have at the time. Well, God can see all so wouldn't He be able to see the outcomes of our choices in life? We dont always see the big picture and God sees deep inside us and inside our lives. If we get everything we pray for or want, like "Please don't let them die" or "please help us to get more money." Even if we dont pray it God knows about it. If we got everything we prayed for, like money for example, we could become spoiled or not connect and share God's love in the same way as we did when we where poorer. Maybe through the death of a loved one, you can grow closer to God and connect to others who have hurt. Sometimes knowledge and sharing of a painful time is the best way witness to someone because everyone deals with pain. I've dealt before with the feeling that no one really knows how I feel. However, everyone knows the feeling of pain or hurt in some way. Through that we are connected back to Jesus, our Savior, provider, healer, and strong hold. My family's ministry, Inbounds Ministries, had our van on it's last leg and we knew we couldn't do a big trip with it without risking breaking down. We were stressed and confused on what to do since we dont have a lot of money. All of the sudden, a member of the ministries board said what do you need? We told him we needed a new van for traveling. All of the sudden, he gave us 40,000 dollars and told us where to pick up our new Mercedes sprinter van. What a blessing!!! We could not believe it. God provided for our needs and gave us a comfort and peace as we no longer had to worry about mo ey or transportation. No, God doesn't always provide that big, but it can sometimes be a blessing to be provided with a meal or water. Getting a burger could mean a lot to a homeless person because that is what he needs in that moment, he didn't need a van. God knows what we all need and what is best for us. God our father is always looking out for us and guiding us through. He is our strength, comfort, and he is there with is through it all. The best father of all!
