I go back a lot to his word being true which means he IS faithful, loving, fill in the blank here. If I can't understand how that is true in a given situation, it doesn' make it less true only that I can't see it from my perspective. Also that goes back to a war going on and casualties being part of that - the failing flesh also causing problems too.roamingwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11798304569822903068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12272116.post-1164994865814779502006-12-01T11:41:00.000-06:002006-12-01T11:41:00.000-06:00This is one of the things I struggle the most with...This is one of the things I struggle the most with as well. Like you, it seems to bring me closer to rather than further away from God.<BR/><BR/>There are three main conclusions that I have come to. Unfortunately, they don't say too much, but they form the foundation of what I have rationalized about God and pain.<BR/><BR/>1. I have no frame of reference for what a universe ruled by a caring or an uncaring God would look like.<BR/>2. A holy God is a terrible (as in scary and brutal) God. This does not conflict with His love, because love is not an emotion.<BR/>3. Failing flesh must be allowed the real option to fail.shakedusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15380500891984359879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12272116.post-1164984753209650262006-12-01T08:52:00.000-06:002006-12-01T08:52:00.000-06:00That is what I love about great songwriters or poe...That is what I love about great songwriters or poets or people who are good with words: the ability to capture so many emotions, feelings, thoughts, and ideas with so few words.<BR/><BR/>Good thoughts!f o r r e s thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776851209700447994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12272116.post-1164960832070521052006-12-01T02:13:00.000-06:002006-12-01T02:13:00.000-06:00We'll be home til the 31st.
