Trust God, He knows what Hes doing.

Sometimes we cry out to God: "But that was perfect. We would have been so happy together. We would have been so happy at that job, or in that country. Why didnt it work out? Why didnt it happen? What the heck God! What the heck!"

And God just laughs.


Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:


"Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
Tell me, if you have understanding.
Who determined its measurements—surely you know!
Or who stretched the line upon it?
On what were its bases sunk,
or who laid its cornerstone,
when the morning stars sang together
and all the sons of God shouted for joy?


"Have you commanded the morning since your days began,
and caused the dawn to know its place,
that it might take hold of the skirts of the earth,
and the wicked be shaken out of it?

It is changed like clay under the seal,
and its features stand out like a garment.
From the wicked their light is withheld,
and their uplifted arm is broken.

"Have you entered into the springs of the sea,
or walked in the recesses of the deep?
Have the gates of death been revealed to you,
or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?
Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth?
Declare, if you know all this.

"Have you entered the storehouses of the snow,
or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,
which I have reserved for the time of trouble,
for the day of battle and war?
What is the way to the place where the light is distributed,
or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth?

"Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades
or loose the cords of Orion?

Can you lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season,
or can you guide the Bear with its children?
Do you know the ordinances of the heavens?
Can you establish their rule on the earth?

"Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,
that a flood of waters may cover you?
Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go
and say to you, 'Here we are'?
Who has put wisdom in the inward parts
or given understanding to the mind?
Who can number the clouds by wisdom?
Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens,
when the dust runs into a mass
and the clods stick fast together?

"Do you give the horse his might?
Do you clothe his neck with a mane?

Do you make him leap like the locust?
His majestic snorting is terrifying.
He paws in the valley and exults in his strength;
he goes out to meet the weapons.
He laughs at fear and is not dismayed;
he does not turn back from the sword.



And the LORD said to Job:
"Shall a faultfinder contend with the Almighty?
He who argues with God, let him answer it."   (Snips from Job 38-41)




God just looks at us and is like.. Really? Sure you think it was perfect but clearly, if I thought it was perfect than it would still be. But its not and its for a reason. It's because I love you and I want the best for you. And that thing was not perfect. Draw close to Me, find your purpose in Me. Dont get caught in someone or something. Get caught up in me. And THEN I will show you amazing. I will show you things you have never dreamed of nor ever will. Pfft.. you thought it was perfect. Haha. I'm God. I know what I'm doing.

Thank you.
You're right, of course.

But just as we don't know it was perfect, we don't know it wasn't.

What if the troubles are God's way of strengthening us?

We cannot be sure.

And even if it be against both God and Man, I would be as Adam in the eyes of Milton and sin and suffer and die for my love.

And at the end of time I can only hope Him to understand for He made me and my mind and my heart.

But thank you. Your message is not incorrect.

On a less personal level, this bit really interests me:

"When the morning stars sang together
and all the sons of God shouted for joy?"

Remember that Lucifer is translated as "Morning Star".

WHEN the Morning Stars sang TOGETHER and ALL the sons of God shouted for joy...

That is, before the fall. Er, the angelic fall, not the mortal one.

Interesting.
