I don't think God WANTS any of His children to suffer. I can't bring myself to believe that He is watching all of the pain in this world, gleefully thinking about the lessons we'll learn and what better people we'll be after it's over.<br /><br />In any case, I think people use expressions like "It's in God's plan" to make THEMSELVES feel better, even if they don't consciously realize that's what they're doing.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02700316810468995737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690983853781756587.post-79733361455999858322012-05-07T23:25:15.617-04:002012-05-07T23:25:15.617-04:00I'm a Christian, and I completely agree with y...I'm a Christian, and I completely agree with you.

I just love you for saying what I have believed for several years. I cringe when people say "things happen for a reason" and "it's in God's plan"..oh, and let's not forget "God doesn't give you more than you can handle".<br />It's better to just say nothing but "I don't know what to say"!Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14942517050388383188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690983853781756587.post-25464417219811194882012-05-07T15:37:29.974-04:002012-05-07T15:37:29.974-04:00Ah.

I think it makes it so much worse. We've had this discussion with friends at dinner before. One of our best friends doesn't want to go to church after having numerous people tell him "It was in God's plan" when he had friends die in combat. Those words can definitely hurt more than do harm.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18182010888325852576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690983853781756587.post-42784806415851930252012-05-07T14:36:44.810-04:002012-05-07T14:36:44.810-04:00To Warrior Wife,

I am a practicing Roman Catholic have been for my whole 22 years of existence but you are correct and that is something I had to learn a few years ago. We grow up being so bling and naive because of things that happen and people try to tell us "oh everything happens for a reason sweetie" those people I wanna punch in the face and say yet you pissed me off theres your reason. lol sorry anyways hope w/e it is gets better :)<br /><br />-Fellow blogger <br />Marissa<br />aguilarmarissa.blogspot.comMiss Marissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10593243118353154006noreply@blogger.com
