Suffering

Friday, December 4th, 2009
I feel the need to write something about the two different origins of suffering. Sometimes it is critical to discern the two.

Even though God allows suffering for His children, He never cast destructive curse on us. Never! Any suffering that originates from Him has a divine purpose, from the outset. And it’s driven by total love for us.

As earthly parents we from time need to set limits for our children. Sometimes we take away goodies or privileges from them, to help them grow up. This is the same with God, as the Heavenly Father.

No punishment

God does not punish us. All punishment was laid upon the shoulders of Jesus, as He step up on that cross. As long as we stay in the grace, there is no punishment.

Negative consequences from our sin is not punishment. When we allow sin power in our lives, there is consequences. It is how things work. The spiritual consequences we kill through repentance and staying in the grace. The souly consequences we kill by living in the Spirit and embracing our Heavenly identity. It brings you peace and inner balance.

Work of the devil

Any suffering that orginates from satan has no divine purpose. And the driving power is hate for us, and anything that belongs to God. This is the origin of any destructive suffering.

However God are able to even turn the works of satan, and put divine purpose into it. It does not mean that the origin of the suffering was God from the outset. It just means that God restored what the devil destroyed.

It must be really frustrating for satan to see that time and time again his hard work to destroy is turned to the good.

Not everything has purpose

Not everything that we experience as children of God has a purpose. The reason is simply that we’re not in Heaven yet, and the work of satan is very much present in the world. However God has always a plan to restore us, heal our wounds, and bring full purpose back to our lives.

We just need to hold on and keep loving our Heavenly Father.
