knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
(Matthew 7: 7) My Son, if thou wilt receives my words, and hide my commandments with thee, so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou cries’ after knowledge, and leftist up thy voice for understanding; If thou sleekest her as silver, and searches for her as for hidden treasures; Than shalt thou shall understand the fear of the LORD. (Prov. 2:1-5,)
Is God Uncaring and Hardhearted? God is the only most caring Father in the whole entire universe. Many people may ask questions about God and many will have doubts or rebelled towards our loving creator almighty God. Like any parent, a loving father and mother will not stop their children from doing good things in life. It is the parents' responsibility to bring up a child in a good way and a loving way. Originally our creator God is a good father and we inherited the good life from our good father, we want to impart the good teaching to our children.
We do have a big problem in the world. The children have their own choices in life to go wherever they wanted to go and do whatever they wanted to do. We all have our own choices in life to choose what’s best for our part in life if things go wrong with their life, it’s not the father or mothers’ faults or even God’s faults. The mistake was their fault that they choose in their part, no doubt we do hurt our parents so badly for bad mistakes or measurable life choices. God feels the same way as our parents are hurting, he feels hurt when we disobey his good instruction and good teachings in the bible for our own good like our children.
It would be unfair to blame God to allow bad things to happen and cause it to happen. God has not yet stop bad things from happening, but we can be sure that God loves us and that we must trust him and infect he is the only one who can solve our problems. We must know that out of God’s abundant love for his children, he allows mankind to follow a bad cause; God is not responsible for the problems we face all the time. For many believers, God is the solution to deal with our problems. Why do we say God is our savior and Christ is our savior? Because God gives us love, hope, and solution to our problems, “O Jehovah, show us the favor. Our hope is in you. Become our arm every morning, Yes, our salvation in the time of distress.” Isaiah. 33:2, this prayer should be our prayer, our hope in him, we shouldn't be blaming God for bad things happening to us or others when we are under trials or tabulations. The bible says that “But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his lust, and enticed. “When under trial, let no one say: “I am being tried by God.” For with evil things God cannot be tried, nor does he try anyone. But each one is tried by being drawn out and enticed by his desires. “James, 1: 13-14.
God is the most powerful, and honest creator in authority over the whole universe. He has the power to undo the damage that bad people cause. When God acts, he will do it in any way that he likes and for as long as it takes to undo the damages. The bible says that “evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.” Psalm, 37:9-11. The bible does not lie about God, the bible says that God is Holy, Pure, and clean, everything he does is pure. “And one call to another Holy, Holy, Holy is Jehovah of armies. The whole earth is filled his glory. Isaiah 6:3, the bible teaches us that God will bring about changes here on earth. God will wipe out every tear from their eyes. Revelation, 21: 4. The lame will leap like a dear. Isaiah, 35: 6. The eyes of the blind will be opened, Isaiah 35: 5. All those who in the memorial tomb will come out, John 5:28-29, No resident will say I am sick. The people dwelling in the land will be pardoned for their error. Isaiah 33: 24,
How Does God feels about injustices we face? God’s heart was filled with pain to see wickedness. “Consequently, Jehovah saw that man’s wickedness was great on earth and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only bad all the time. Jehovah regretted that he had made men on the earth, and his heart was saddened.” Genesis 6: 5-6, God cares deeply about what is right and what is wrong. He hates all kinds of injustice. “For Jehovah loves justice, and he will not abandon his loyal ones. They will always be guarded, but the descendants of the wicked will be done away with.” Palms 37:28. Meaning the wicked will be destroyed by their wickedness, God wants us to return to him, time and time again. “For I am Jehovah; I do not change. And you are sons of Jacob; you have not yet come to your finish. Malachi. 3:6, Reads “For you, O Jehovah, are good and ready to forgive; you abound in loyal love for all those who call on you.” Psalm 86:5. Our God is good all the time and he wanted all his children to come to him and ask for his mercy. God created man in His image, God is love, God is kind, and God has his beautiful and appealing quality, for example; God is slow to anger, abundant in love, merciful, compassionate, loyal loving, and truthful. Readings from Exodus 34:6. The opposed Satan does everything opposite to God's good quality of life.
God wants us to know who he is: God cares so much for every one of us and that Jehovah our God is kind, loving, caring, and faithful God. “Jehovah is not slow concerning his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with you because he does not desire anyone to be destroyed, but that all to attain to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9, Imagine if someone who does not want to repent and continues to oppose God and his people, continue with his bad habits and end up in a bad situation or even death. We must be aware that it's not the almighty God that punishes people for their sin to die a premature death and in sudden destruction, the earth is filled with sickness, dangerous people, and weapons that cause life-threatening problems on the lives of many innocent ones to suffer or die, we do always see and hear all that is happening around us, the innocent, the good and the bad will suffer from bad to worse, most times its human errors or bad behaviors and attitudes of others that bring pain and suffering or even worse death itself. How can we blame God for that sudden death and destruction? No, it's not his nature to destroy life! God wants us to know him that he cares for us. We should reverentially fear God and be in good attitudes as best as we can all the time. “Who will not fear you, Jehovah, and glorify your name, for you alone are loyal? For all the nations will come and worship before you, because you’re righteous decrees have been revealed.” Revelation 15:4.
Can we be closer to Jehovah our God? Yes indeed! We all can draw closer to God. “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double-minded. James.” 4:8. Some might say why if God is so good?’ why didn't he hear my prayers for that beautiful married woman, because God knows the answer already, even before you open your mouth to him, or some might blame God for not saving their loved ones from death or destruction? He is all-knowing and he knows the answer before you ask of him in prayers. He knows that you love your loved ones and he too is hurting to see you hurt, Jesus to feels the same way he cried for his loved ones and people who are known to him, and he showed examples of what is yet to come, we all had to endure our pain and suffering because this is the sinful earth. The glorious time appointed for death and suffering to end has not yet come.
Through all our trials and tribulations we are always looking for a way out of the situation, fast track to avoid the discomfort, most people and including myself will turn to God because we know the reason that “God would help us, and that men would seek him and perhaps search for him in his words to find out more about God, though he is not far from each one of us.” Acts, 17:27, Does all mankind draw closer to God? In our discussion I mention that not all men, some would doubt, some deny, not all mankind will draw closer to God, the problem started from the beginning of Genesis, the spirit of opposer and the seed that has been pass down from generation to our generation to oppose God. People have choices and will continue to believe what they’ve learned from their generation to another generation, and it will carry on and on unless there's a change or turning point of learning to trust the almighty God.
The bible says that sinners don’t want to acknowledge God or confess their mistakes, and for others, their beliefs have been seared or belief systems that have been pass down from their generation to the new generation, the customary and ancestry beliefs continued. Most people have their gods and their traditional beliefs for their god and even now in our days' others are mixing their beliefs with the Bible truths. Other people cannot believe in true God because of doubt, others think that when we pray we are talking to ourselves or the walls and that nobody is listening, I can prove them wrong, God
