A Jew (friend of mine) once told me, "God doesn't let anything happen
to you, that you can not handle".
I have repeatedly thought about this statement. As i am not high on
religion, I do like some of those wisdoms that come from it.
Like the one about Job, a highly repectable man of his time. The Devil
challenged God, "I can get him to curse the name of God" and in
God's reply to the devil, I will allow you to do anything you wish and I
know he will never curse my name.
So the devil unleashed all sorts of evil upon the man Job and in his
unrelenting style continually prayed to God for mercy and eventually
stated to all his followers, "God giveth and God taketh away" rejoice
in his love for us and be thankful for what you have had and lost.
Even Jesus faultered in his last moments of Life, questioning his own
fathers wisdom, "Father why have you forsaken me?" At which moment
God opened up the sky and said, "it is time". Time for the son to return
to the father. As Jesus was at that time, we are human and we will have
our doubts, yet do not let this cloud your better judgement.
We live, we die!
Without evil we will not know good. What we perceive as Real is only
a portal into the rest of your life eternal. So we would hope to believe.
