bad things to good people Flashcards
explain prayer
PRAYER: THE RIGHT CONTEXT: WE CANNOT ASK GOD TO REWRITE THE LAWS OF NATURE OR THE PAST.
-PRAYER ADDS NOTHING TO GOD’S GREATNESS BUT HELPS US GROW IN HOLINESS AND HELPS US ACCEPT WHATEVER COMES OUR WAY.
PRAYER PUTS US IN TOUCH WITH OTHERS
BUT IT ALSO PUTS US IN TOUCH WITH GOD.
why do good people have problems?
GOD DOES NOT SEND US PROBLEMS HE GIVES US THE COURAGE TO COPE WITH THE PROBLEMS
basis/conclusion of bad things to good people
MAN DEPENDS ON GOD FOR ALL THINGS; GOD DEPENDS ON MAN FOR ONE. WITHOUT MAN’S LOVE, GOD DOES NOT EXIST AS GOD, ONLY AS CREATOR, AND LOVE IS THE ONE THING NO ONE, NOT EVEN GOD HIMSELF, CAN COMMAND
LOVE IS NOT THE ADMIRATION OF PERFECTION, BUT THE ACCEPTANCE OF AN IMPERFECT PERSON WITH ALL HIS IMPERFECTIONS, BECAUSE LOVING AND ACCEPTING HIM MAKES US BETTER AND STRONGER.
FORGIVE THE WORLD FOR NOT BEING PERFECT
FORGIVE GOD FOR NOT MAKING A BETTER WORLD
REACH OUT TO THE PEOPLE AROUND US,
GO ON LIVING DESPITE IT ALL.
