“His Definitive Virtuous Love”

Beloved, when I think of the book of Job I think about the breathtaking power of God. When you look at Job, you see a man who experienced more suffering than most people experience in their lifetime. What I see is our tormentor “persecutor” Satan, who imposed all types of pain and wretchedness on one human being, having to ask permission before ever lifting a finger against him.

I’ve heard many people question how a good God could allow bad things to happen to good people. But I think the Lord is trying to teach us the reality of his definitive power. I say this because it’s a part of my personal testimony. Since my spiritual transformation, the persecutions didn’t diminish. NO!!!  My persecutors have increased, and my old adversaries have added new columns to their list. But I’ve learned that God’s ways are above ours. He’s so powerful that even the one who’s trying to prevent or ruin His purposes must ask for His permission before he can do any damage. Beloved, Satan isn’t God’s equal, he’s a created being. He doesn’t have free rein to cause evil, destruction, disorder or pandemonium unchecked.

Now, some ask how can a good God allow bad things to happen? And I say how can someone like me, who has done nothing special to deserve good, be the recipient of such incredible love that God would send His own son to die for me on the cross?

So, this weekend Beloved, always keep in mind that your oppressor or persecutor, is created, and has to get permission to create the drama, sickness, division or confusion that we encounter. We serve a generous, loving and good God who permits thing to occur that will:
#1 shows us His divine path for our life and
#2 demonstrate His definitive virtuous love for us.

Have a Blessed Weekend Everyone!!!
