There was once a man who literally had it all. He was considered both the wisest and richest man to ever live. He was both a scientist and doctor and claimed to have found the cures to everything from the common cold to cancer. He also claimed to find a way to assure women would get pregnant. He owned homes all over the world and everything that a person could possibly need, want or desire. This man also had many children. One day, when his children were all old enough to care for themselves, the father suddenly disappeared and left only a note:
My dear children, although I may not be there for you physically, I want you to know that you can come to me for anything and I will assist you as best as I can. I’ve opened the following site for you to post messages to me whenever you need me…
The world was able to read every message sent back and forth between the children and their father. Some were simple pleasantries and others were cries for help.One day one of his children wrote on the site, “Dear dad, I could really use your help. I’m about to lose my home, because I’m not making enough money where I work. I know you told me to be happy with what I have and never ask you for more or expect anything from you, but please if you could help me out, I’d really appreciate it.”
The father replied that same day saying, “I’m sorry son, this is what is meant for you. Although I have all the money in the world to help you, I choose not to.”
A month later his son was forced to leave his home and live on the streets. He was found beaten to death in an alley.One of the children posted on the site “today we buried your son. He was only 30 years old and was found beaten to death.”
The father replied, “It’s as it should be.”
On another occasion one of the man’s daughters wrote on the site, “Dear dad, my husband and I have been attempting to have a child from nearly a year now. I know you claimed to have discovered a way for me to conceive, would you please share this with me, so I can have a child?”
The next day, the daughter checked the site and her father replied, “Dear daughter, I don’t think it would be right for you to have children. Obviously it’s not meant to be, please move on with your life.”
Eventually the daughter became so depressed from not being able to conceive a child that it led to the destruction of her marriage and one day she was found hung in her bedroom.
One of the children posted on the site “today we buried your daughter. She killed herself because she became too depressed about not being able to bare children.”
The father replied, “It’s as it should be.”
Several months later another of his sons wrote on this site, “Dear father, today I found out that I have cancer. The doctors tell me I have a couple months to live at most. Please, help me by sharing the knowledge you have to cure cancer.”
This time the father didn’t reply. A few days went by and there was nothing. Weeks went by, a month and another and eventually the son died of cancer. The father did not reply again until another of his sons posted on the site, “we buried your son today, he died of cancer.”
The father replied, “It’s as it should be.”
One day as the remaining children sat around the dinner table their father came walking into the house. He walked up to them and said, “I’ve come to take you all with me, so you don’t have to suffer any longer.”
How many of us would want to go with a father knowing that he could’ve helped his children but chose not to?
How many of us would respect a father who could do so much and chose to do nothing?
So then why is this the picture of God we paint for others?
As Christians we are supposed to be God’s children. As his children God has given us the Bible so that we know how we should be living as Christians and to remind us of who we are as his children. So then why is it we limit our own Heavenly Father in what he’s capable of?
Why is it we lie about what God, our heavenly and all powerful Father wants for us?
Why is it when people are sick we tell them “it must be God’s will”?
Why is it when someone is lacking something we tell them “it must be God’s will” for them not to have it?
Why do we tell people to “just be happy with what you have” and “don’t expect more from God”?
Why do we tell God’s people who are suffering that “it’s just part of being a Christian”?
THESE ARE ALL LIES!!!
Don’t people read the Bible?God doesn’t want us to suffer.
God doesn’t want us poor.
God certainly doesn’t want us sick.
And anybody who tells you that its “God’s will” for any of those things to be a part of your life is lying to you and is blaspheming against God’s word and has blood on their hands for their lies.
It’s time the body of Christ… God’s children… CHRISTIANS… stop making excuses for the bad things in their lives. It’s time they realize that God does NOT want his children to be suffering and the ONLY reason we suffer is because we lack the TRUE knowledge of God and we lack the FAITH to believe what his Word says.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
(Hosea 4:6)
