QOTW - Is God the cause of our suffering?
The Lord is our GOD, he is not the cause of our suffering, the sufferings we experienced in the world is due to ignorance, this ignorance is in humanity, this is one of those reasons why schools were being made to eradicate this ignorance in man, build us everyday to a better person who can contribute advantageously to the society and not as a person whose take the society gifts then still complaining of suffering, when i was in primary school, i remember our classroom teacher used to asked us to come to school with broom, so that we can be using it to sweep our classroom, assembly hall etc, if you failed to do as he said, he would punished you either by asking you to cut grasses while other's are in the class or by asking you to do frog Junp for five minutes, they did this in school because they wanted us to be productive with our life, that was what they understand by being independency and any pupils who failed would have to faced the back side of the school.
We use to see what our teachers did as a kind of suffering to us, but what they did were not punishing us, but what they used to do back, was a sign of love for our future because they needed the best for us, you see them asked us to go and bring our hand work, they really wanted us to work hard and be the man for ourselves and not depending on somebody, because someone who is dependent, will always be complaining and be thinking that the world is unfair to him, yet it is not, the world is not unfair to anyone, what we give in our planet is what our planet give back to us, a good example is what is known as Gabbage in gabbage out (GIGO) i learnt this in my secondary school year's, why you put in is what you will surely take out, no one is torturing nobody.
In the eyes of GOD we are his children and he is almighty GOD, And our father in heaven, a father would not be happy if his Children's are sufferings but we as his children should also help ourselves in one way or the other, because GOD said, we his Children's shall do more than him, he said in Genesis 17:5 to Abraham
"No longer shall your name be called Abram. But your name shall be Abraham, for i will make you the father of a multitude of nations".
we are Abraham's descendants and we are GODS own Children's, for the things he did for Abraham he is still doing even today for us, GOD is the giver of wealth Because, this world belongs to him, we may be having difficulties in our life he is the one who Make it that way, at times GOD want us to learnt that we should take things seriously and not to be joke with what comes our way, when someone pass through difficult times, any opportunity that may comes to him, he would know how to go with it, nevertheless, i also think that the wealthy people should help the less previledge ones in any way they can, when they go looking for their assistance.
