Every one of us when we enter this world, we possess a God given freedom stain or marker. Freedom as an unrestricted choice in this world, as it is in the next, is our God powered destiny. In our world a whole bunch of negative stuff delays or kills for the moment the search for our freedom destiny. Eternity will always have a solution.
The
philosophers call the negative stuff of this world the presence of evil and
suffering. Evil is among us to force us to value freedom. All of us know and do
evil and all of us experience the resulting suffering from our own choices and
those of the other guy. There are no good guy’s anywhere, just shades of grey. Our
world is not the Lone Ranger’s playground.
God is
working the divine freedom plan ever so slowly. The working out of this plan is
so slow because freedom to be free must be tested. This is the spot you are I
are in. We were born to be free; therefore, we must be tested. A passing grade
is assured but we cannot avoid taking the test. The test is learning to freely choose
and value freedom in the midst of our troubles. Some of us would like to ask God,
isn’t there a less painful way to be free?
Should we not welcome suffering?
