GOD'S LESSONS!   DFO 1644         9/83
--Suffering with a Meaning!

         1. THE MAIN THING TO KNOW IS THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LEARN SOMETHING FROM SICKNESSES & TROUBLES, & NOT JUST TAKE ANYTHING AS SOME KIND OF ACCIDENT! I think if anything, the question most people ask themselves is, "God, why did You do this to me?" instead of "Lord, why did I deserve this? Why did I need it?" They're almost offended at God for letting it happen, instead of realising that God is dealing with them. I just figure I deserve every bit of it & a lot more & I'm probably getting off easy.
         2. But some people are so self-righteous they wonder, "How could God do such a thing to me? How could the Lord treat me this way when I'm so good to Him?" They actually resent it, like Job did at first. Look what the Lord had to put Job through before he finally was humbled, & confessed that he wasn't more righteous than God. He really thought he was pretty righteous till he went through all that--really until he was willing to die trusting the Lord! GBAKY & help you to get the MESSAGE so the Lord can stop SPANKING!--Amen?
