Today indeed was a productive day! woke up early in the morning, did my devotion! I was really intrigued by today's devotion as the author shared about suffering...
Have you ever wondered by a loving God that we believed permits suffering into this world? Some said God's power has diminished as sin is becoming powerful in this world, thus comes suffering... Some said God simply does not exist! BUT, the author answered by giving an analogy...
A boy was running out of money while he was in a camp, he phoned and asked his dad to give him some money. However, his father refused. All his friends were teasing him saying his father doesn't love him enough to give him money. This little boy, having great faith that his father loves him, told his friends that he will trust his father and will ask his father when he gets back home. After the camp was over, he headed back home. His father told him that the reason why he didn't give him the money is because he wants his son to learn how to value money.
See? that is why God permits suffering into this world. We will never know why he did that but we have great faith that He still loves us dearly... We can only ask Him when we're home with Him... Trust the Lord!
