"Your own conduct and actions have brought this upon you. This is your punishment. How bitter it is! How it pierces to the heart!" - Jeremiah 4:18
How often we put the blame on God.
But have we ever considered that we in fact deserved none of His blessings?
Someone asked me, "If there is a God, why does he allow so much suffering in this world?"
Answer: He left the world to our own conduct and actions.
Someone asked me again, "You mean my actions could cause someone else to suffer? Where is the justice?"
Answer: The justice was paid 2000 years ago now. All the bad stuff were paid for through one man.
The moral of the story is: Our actions have consequences, and it is not because there is no God. Even though there is absence of judgement thanks to His mercy, we cannot escape the fact that the devil wishes to destroy us. But through it all, we must remember that before Jesus, they had it much, much worse. So give thanks for all the blessings that you did not deserve, instead of blaming God for every nitty-gritty inconvenience.
