I'm a little disappointed at myself for not doing something that I needed to do...and that is to make phone calls for BSF. I have to make it up some how tomorrow with calls to people that are free to answer... God help me...
On the upside, dinner was good tonight. Home-made meal with steamed egg, garlic-fried vegetables, fish and abalone. We even have cold crab, which we didn't get to. Just too full...
It's discouraging to see the world in its state. I feel like the United States aren't very united. My hopes is that it won't take another tragedy to wake everyone up to what this country is doing wrong. The fact that the States are so out of tune with God to the point where even the mention of God stirs emotions that will anger and rebel, not humble and convicted.
There's this one question that most Christians can't confidently answer back and that is "if God is a loving God, why will He allow for bad things to happen to good people?" Most Christians don't have an answer because they don't know what to say to it and don't understand it themselves. I can say the same for myself, but I might just be able to think of a couple reasons that are plausible.
1) We need to understand that God is not capable of evil. He allows for evil that are beyond our understanding at that moment, but only if we wait and be patient to see the purpose of it.
2) We don't know this well, but out of love, there is also discipline. We are a bunch of ignorant, sinful people that have a hard time letting go of our pride and listening to bad things. We want to hear and do things that are pleasurable, which most often is based on sin. What we don't like is what we need to hear: the sin and our wrongs. We are all prideful and sinful. We can't escape it. Our denial is truth of the matter.
3) Bad things happen so that God's people will answer the call of the need. Christians are called to do God's work. True Christians lay their lives down, sacrifice their time and resources, in order to meet the need another. Bad things happen so that the Christian can stand there and be the support that God wants to give to His people. We are the hands and feet of Christ and we are to be actively working in this world in order for people to see the love of God.
This world is falling apart. Morals are gone. There are no values. Only what people want to do and not what they need to do. The fellow citizen of this country doesn't care about his neighbor, but only what selfish satisfaction can give. It's sad. Man cares only for himself.
And I've fallen victim into that...
