God never lets me down

He's always been there for me, helping me. Problem is, I don't accept help and direction easily. I start to think I know everything, and that when things go wrong. That's not His fault.

The question of God's reality is something we all must answer for ourselves. Then we must choose what to do with that information.

I cannot speak for others, but I can speak for myself. I was the ultimate skeptic until I had an encounter with God, and then another, and many more since. But I still cannot explain why bad things happen to good people, except to say they happen to everyone. The rain falls on us all. He is always good; He is an expert in taking the biggest pile of crap and making something good of it. He never lets me down, even when I let myself down.

He accdentally left the phone off the hook.

Back in the day, they use to be so interactive, smoting people for not being nice to some dork with a ratty robe, asking them for some lamb (or kid - see what I did there?) chops, even blinding them for allowing their chromosomal discharge to end up somewhere that wasn't a ventral opening.

But nowadays, it seems like they're all ghosting us, leaving us waiting on the telephone or looking like fanboi stalkers looking for them behind alters or in the closet when the apt is burning down and it's on the 5th floor and there's no fire escape.

Perhaps it's money, after all their hired help are always begging for donations in their inspiring sermons about donating money to the Gods. Maybe if they had sufficient funding, they can get more Boost Minutes, and thus be able to answer our calls.

He does—if you ask Him

I assume nothing.
If you diligently seek Him, you will find Him.

"Then, with a deep longing you will seek Me and require Me as a vital necessity, and you will find Me when you search for Me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13 AMP

Continually demand of Him. Remind Him of His promises. If you're mad at Him, let it fly. Give Him a piece of your mind. That's OK. He likes it when we're honest. He will answer if you don't let up.

All of our choices have consequences on ourselves and all those around us. God gets blamed for things He does not cause. He is not the author of evil.

I have told you the truth about my own experience. You may mock me if you wish. You don't have to believe me.

Really? These questions again? We've been over this.
What is truly going on here?
Let's see....

After looking around imgflip at some of your other commentary, I've formed the opinion that you are not truly interested in my answers to your questions. Your current opposition to Christianity is quite apparent. I am not offended. I expect opposition. The truth of Christ has enraged people for centuries. Truth challenges our status quo.

My hope is that you will not dismiss everything I have presented here. If you truly do want answers, I would encourage you to pursue your own personal encounter with God.

I am going to move on now. I hope that this meme becomes as true for you as it has for me.

The word translated here as "evil" is actually "conflict".
Conflict is necessary for good to confront and overcome evil. This is not God making or doing evil. He does not have to answer to humanity for crimes. It's quite the opposite. I'm thankful that He made a way for us to be forgiven through Christ.

As far as my experiences go, they are not exclusive to me. Although billions of Christians have had similar experiences, I choose to speak only of my own. I neither expected nor deserved them, but I am very grateful for them. I would gain nothing by lying. You may choose not to believe me, if you wish.

English translations are not always perfect. Both Hebrew and Greek are precise and mathematical; English is a hodgepodge. Always use hermeneutics. The ease of misinterpretation of English is apparent even in this conversation.

Dictator? No. Monarchy. He is King.

How can I possibly be wrong about what I have lived? It happened. I lived it. I was there.

I have explained it as best I can. I truly just wanted to share. Do with it as you wish.
