Chapter 12: My Struggles are about Him.
God leaves us to the consequences of our stupid decisions. Whatever we go through that is bad, it doesnt mean that God messed up! Dont ever think that. EVERYTHING that happens is for a purpose and to display God's glory.
God is sheer and mercy and grace; not easily angered, he is rich in love. He doesnt endlessly nag and scold, nor hold grudges forever. He doesnt treat us as our sins deserve, nor pay us back in full for our wrongs. As high as heaven is over the earth, so strong is his love to those who fear him. Psalm 103:8-11
Don't blame suffering in the world on the anger of God. He's not mad he didnt mess up.
Your pain has a purpose. Your problems, struggles, heartaches, and hassles coopperate toward one end- the glory of GOd.
We have been selected to struggle for God's glory and we have been granted to believe in Christ and suffer for his sake!
Dont think that God is not listening because he is, He just may have different plans for the person you are praying for, or he may have a different plan for the prayer you pray for yourself.
GOd will use whatever he wants to display his glory.
(pg 127) A season of suffering is a small assignment when compared to the reward!
