Hi Matt,-Sorry for my delayed response.-No Matt, I take no offence to your thoughts. And I definitely do not think you are disrespectful. In fact, I find you very well-read and very respectful. We are all entitled to our beliefs and thoughts and I respect your thoughts Matt.-I know you have seen a lot of pain and human suffering. So, you find it hard to believe in God. This is a public forum, hence I am restricted in sharing some hard details about myself.-I have not had life easy. Had a tough childhood. Many bad things did happen, which have scarred my childhood. And I asked this question to God many times, where were you when all this happened? Never really got answers.-But, today when I look back those same terrible things have made me the Julia that I am. We all have to go through suffering and pain. That is life. When bad things happen you do not really understand, but it is much later in life that you know the reason why did God allow such things to happen.-What I have seen in life is that God balances things. When you have faith and trust in God, you can sail through all the storms of your life. That is how I have survived. -Only God has the power to extract the best from the worst that happens to you. And that is what God has done to me.-Today, God has used my every single pain and suffering to reach to the word through my blog. Nothing has gone wasted, Matt. Because of my pain, I am able to reach out and help others who are in distress and pain. My sufferings has sensitized me to other people's sufferings. My years and years of loneliness has enabled me to be in position where nothing scares me anymore -- no fear of pain or loss or heartbreak. -Because of my sufferings, today by God's grace, I can counsel people much elder to me. God loves us a lot Matt. He loves us more than our parents love us. God is good. He is sweet. He is a darling.-No one knows why things happen as they do
But I just know one thing
The Lord will see us through-Best regards,-Julia
