Has God been good to me?

Let me take a moment to tell you some things and you can answer that.

I was relentlessly abused when I was growing up.

I was at one time diagnosed as having Fibromyalgia, but I don’t have it.

When I went to Malaysia I was bitten many times by Monkeys, got extremely ill and was diagnosed to have Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS), but I don’t have it.

I was attacked and beaten up, robbed, my car stolen and my brain stem broken and all of the educated medical adult humans said that I would die or be a vegetable 9 years ago and counting and I’m neither one.

My parents won’t talk to me but so what.

My sister and her husband severely neglected me, abused me and sued me for more than $10,000.00 and won.

My wife and 2 of my 3 sons have abandoned me.

I have had a rough life but I’m happy. Why? Because God has been good to me. I could complain, but why should I? I have had BIG things come at me again and again but regardless of what it was God has never left me. He has always carried me through everything.

I see many things today that DO NOT MAKE SENSE to me at all. For example, I watched HGTV exclusively because I thought that is was clean. I thought it was. But what I have been shown by the Lord is that it is all about the world and very contrary to God.

At first I was offended by the name of a show called Divine Design. It had nothing to do with God only the designer. Then I began to realize that people always said “I love this or that”.

And I thought love? Why do they say “love”? Love doesn’t mean Like or that makes me happy and it’s not what the Bible says!

In John 3:16 it says:

16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
NIV


This didn’t mean that God felt good about the world or that the world made Him happy. No. We were ALL sinners but He loved us. God does not sin but we do. God does not allow sin to be in His prescience but He adopted us into His family.

So clearly Love means much more that something that is felt about things!

And society is misusing Love today!
