When God Doesn't Make Sense!!! by Nobody: 4:44pm On Nov 10, 2013
Why does disease, natural disaster, divorce, rejection ; death, some other sorrow seep into our lives when we are trying to serve God? It just doesn't seem fair!
Those occasion when it just doesn't seem to add up,when it seems God doesn't make sense, what do you do? Do you think he doesn't care? Do you think God is wicked? Do you let go your faith? Please lets hear your views

Maybe your problem is entertaining this whole idea of ''serving God''. What on earth does that really mean? Going to church, praying, or calling yourself a born again Christian is NOT ''serving God''. You are serving your mind's belief system.

You're not really here to ''serve'' anybody. If you understood that, then you wouldn't feel ''betrayed'' by God when something unpleasant happens in your life.

Perfect perfect perfect.

And this golden quote:

The root of all human suffering lies in the agony of unrealized expectations.

" Blessed are those who do not expect, for truly I say unto you, they shall never be disappointed"

Thank you bro... You see, this whole idea of ''serving God'' is based on the Illusion of separation, under which many of us operate, and not grounded on the reality of Eternal Oneness. God does not see himself as separate from us. We are aspects of God. Like droplets from a great River. It is our human condition that makes us think we are ''separate'' and ''different'' from God. It is only when you think you're separate from another person that you imagine you are ''serving them''. Fact is God is all that IS.

So whatever you're doing, you're doing for yourself. If you do good to others, you're doing it for yourself. That good will return to reward you at some point in your soul life. Same as if you do bad - plus all the little points in between.

Because, like that droplet from the Great River, YOU too are God.

You are disappointed because you do not understand the God you serve or he does not exist.

Diseases and natural disasters are meant to be treated or precautions taken against them. It makes no sense to handle them with faith if you have not received the explicit word of faith that you can heal/handle them. So until this explicit word of faith comes to you, you should do the normal, secular systems established by man to handle your disease and natural disasters.

As per divorce, well, I'm not a believer in marriage. Marriage is simply an option, not a spiritual mandate. The marriage we know is just a tradition of men to own one another and a way to deal with their insecurities and mortalities.

Concerning death, untimely death does not come to anyone who knows his God and follows him. So it must be that such a person does not understand his God or does not follow his God.
