It's good when we can see that God's understanding is far above ours.Tammiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00868702389044319771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7890637968846058299.post-15947207637232983042013-03-08T12:34:04.011-07:002013-03-08T12:34:04.011-07:00I think lifes experience and even accounts in Gods...I think lifes experience and even accounts in Gods Word show us that regardless of the root of suffering there can be benefits for the long term...<br />I like the examples you have given - they are times of suffering which are ultimately for the good...<br /><br />We also don't have the perspective God has. I know its a silly analogy but we have seen this in the simple area of our pets having operations and having the cone on their heads to keep them from picking at their wounds... they pine and they sulk and you know they are begging us to just remove this cone - their ears are itchy, they've lost their rear vision and at time their balance... BUT, we know this is working FOR them and in fact if we remove the cones we may prolong their troubles!! Our perspective sees their suffering as beneficial and temporal - they see it as the end of their world and they can't fathom what we know... does that make sense?The Imperfect Sojournerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07456347543794260314noreply@blogger.com
