someone has do to it...

Completion of Genesis finally

recently, have been thinking alot of my relationship with God..

unconditional vs conditional
autonomy

why did God let us choose, whether to follow him or not?
how did his blessings work"?

eg Jacob wrestles with God previously before he becomes Israel
when God said he had been blessing Jacob, unfortuante things happen
eg Dinah was raped
eg joseph was being sold
most of the people would think..... is God truly blessing Jacob's family.
or i should say, why God let these things happened to him

when i read closely to this family...
there were a lot of jealously, as such leah and rachel
supposingly they were sisters, but they were competitive amongst themselves for the husband love.

strictly speaking....
there are so many unfortunate events
so why did God let these things happen?
and whats His purpose?

why did God let Jesus who is a divine being die for us?

look at Job...

i would like to say.... God's love is TOUGH LOVE

it seems liike unless the person is being wrestled again and again, they may not grow stronger

thats why

" for those  whom God has chosen, for those whom God has loved, he did it for a purpose."


my mind is keeep... trying to understand... digest the issue...

yesterday, i was at my auntie's place and help her making dinner.

i asked her,

" auntie, as a mom, what do you think is the most difficult challenge that you have ever faced?"

she replied,

" i think the most difficult challenge is to make sure that my children are growing under God's guidance".


what a coincidence, i am reading this today.

在Joshua口中比父親更「激」的Grace說﹕「我們是對生命認真的基督徒。聖經說，孩子是由父母托管一段時間而已，然後他就有他要走的路，我們真的是這樣相信的。」激，也許因為認真相信，並且毫不畏懼地在世上實踐出來。有這樣的父母，才能有這樣的兒子；身為宗教叛徒的筆者也不得不說句，感謝神。

 

" i think if you know this person who will be the first there no matter what happens..."
