Must We Attribute All that Happens Around Us to God? Find out what the article has to say
Well I think some counselors are rather playing "sentiments", than telling those who are eagerly seeking their counsel the plain truth they deserve to know!
Okay, I read an article recently,
(I wouldn't want to dwell much on the article...)
But as soon as I got to a particular line, I paused & didn't read again.
I stopped, then think if the opinion is actually one sided, or in "balanced", true or false.
The lines reads thus;
"If the guy left you, it's all part of the Good plan God has for you. You are his child, he cannot leave you alone".
Then I wondered, "really"?
Could that be the ideal?
I keep wondering why stuffs like that are being attributed to God as part of His plans for us His children, rather than seeking to know the foundation of which the person layed in the process of nurturing his/her relationship.
Take in the case of death;
Someone is dead! And someone somewhere would say; "God giveth, and God taketh". But if a careful investigation should be done, you'd be shocked that the person could be the cause of his/her death.
Hmm may God have mercy on us.
And funny enough, they will always have that fact backed up with this scripture (Romans 8:28) "All things work together for Good to those that love him and are called according to his purpose".
Hehe no doubt about that!
But instead of deceiving or getting ourselves confused the more, I feel the best thing we should do, & the first scripture we should read is by EXAMINING ourselves thoroughly to see that we are innocent of any guilt, of any kind before we take in the Biblical perspective into consideration.
That guy left you, okay, fine!
"did he leave me for a good a bad reason? What actually went wrong? Where exactly did I go wrong? Was is really my fault"???
What exactly was not in place?
These are simple questions we should ask ourselves before further conclusions.
Some might even go as far as saying; "You should be optimistic, all things are working for your good, yes it didn't work out, yes the guy wasn't the one for you".
Oh yeah, is that so?
What if he was the one for you, but you were just so blind to have noticed?
Did you stop to think to it if it's your attitude, character, disposition & I mean the you in you had him chased away?
If you're a lady, & you have a "breakdown" in your relationship, then someone somewhere or even your pastor is there to say the above statement to you, not unless your conscience is clear that you did your very best to keep the guy, if otherwise, please run away from such person/pastor, and if need be, pray for repentance too.
God is not and can never be an author of confusion, so the scripture says!
The fact that he is merciful Father doesn't mean we should blame him for our ignorance and still plead for forgiveness.
"What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound"? (Romans 6:1)
The time to really examine ourselves starts now! Procrastination is deadly!
Gal. 6: 4-8 Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else.... Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
