My Thoughts on Strife


I have thought about this for a very long time, Praying & asking God why so many of His children are suffering from so many things; poverty, illness & loss of family & loved ones.

I have had cancer, back surgery & fibromialga, I have lost family & friends to cancer, stroke, heart attack & other illness.I believe all of this has given me greater compassion for other people in the same situation, it has helped me stay focused on Christ because it has opened my eyes to the suffering of people around me.

When I was younger I worked in 3 nursing homes, I can remember it was just a job to me, as I grew older I did in home service with the old & disabled with more & more exposure to the trials of these people. I became compassionate to them, but at the time I was more interested in a new car, a better place to live, nicer clothes & money in the bank.

     I went to church & gave lip service to being a child of God, with out understanding you have to have a relationship with Christ, you have to learn to look beyond appearances and look at the heart with love that can only come from a walk with the Lamb Of God.




I believe He allows our trials to develop our compassion & love for other people. Who can see someone in pain or a situation you are going through or have gone through & not feel the love going out to them because you have been there?  I believe God allows these trials to come to us so we can reach out to other people with understanding that someone that hasn't been there would not have.

I have been reading Job 10: 1-22 & Job 12 in these He states the old saying "the sun shines on the just & the unjust alike" all our suffering is so we have the knowledge to support those that don't know Him & His love as we do. By testifying that we've been there, done that, & found our Sweet Lamb of God we can reassure & lead others by our example & love.
