to the passerby
hi passerby, this is regarding and answering to ur question regarding what does God do to those who cause suffer to others.
i cant say its the perfect answer, but i read this on a book i bought.
hope it helps :)
why do ppl often get away with evil and what does God do to those who cause suffer to others?
well, this book actually says that...
"why are the wicked so prosperous? why are evil ppl so happy? u have planted them, and they have taken root and prospered. ur name is on their lips but u r far frm their hearts" (jeremiah 12:1-2)
even jeremiah struggled with the prosperity of evil ppl, u must rmb that becus of sin, life on this earth is not fair. but at the final judgement, God will settle all accounts, and everything will be fair for all eternity. :)
it seems that ppl today can do anything they want and not only get away with it but also flourish. (i get that alot). however God has promised that in his time, everyone will be judeged, evil will be exposed. and the righteous will prevail. God doesnt promise the absence of evil on this earth. in fact, he warns that evil will be pervasive and powerful. But God promises to help u stand against evil; if u do, u will receive ur reward in heaven, where evil will be no more.
well at least that is what i got from the book. i think most imptly is love ur enemies, only when u try to love them, u will forgive and forget. althou its harder than talking, but i must say it really helps.
and finally,
God sees all, God sees all ur afflictions and sufferings, and in due time u will be rewarded.
Genesis 31:42 " God saw my affliction and the labour of my hands".
most of the times, this is what i learnt in life as well, that doing the right thing doesnt pay back immediately.
if we press on tgt in this testing season of sufferings, we shall come forth as "Gold" and as long as we do not grow weary in doing good, in due time we shall reap a harvest.
hope these helps. take care and God bless :)
anyway thanks for prompting me to read further on this!
Ciaoz!
