Sorry for neglecting you. Thanks you for loving me, even though I can’t seem to demonstrate my love for you back. I keep filling my life up with “things that I have to do” that I forget that spending time with you is the most important. I’m sorry.

So I’ve finally finished reading Job. And I still have a little trouble understanding the end of it. Why, after so many questions posed by Job….did you respond the way you did? Job already knows that you are almighty what does challenging him to be God help Job….& well me understand our suffering? ….And God please forgive me for not loving the enemy. What does loving the enemy mean anyway?

I know it says to love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you…..Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

I just read the study Bible footnote for Job42:12-16 “God does not allow us to suffer for no reason, & even though the reason may be hidden in the mystery of his divine purpose – never for us to know in this life – we must trust in Him as the God who does only what is right…and for some reason. I just burst into tears after reading the last line. Maybe it has to do with the word: Trust – Faith. & the part where it says that God does only right—the righteous God – just, etc.

Then what’s about tragedies in non-Christian families. --- is that the will of God too?
