Your Question:
why did god let me get into a relationship with a bad person?
Answer:
As I reflect on your question, I'm reminded of a passage in the Bible that says, "Has lasted more than ten minutes, you will find that your own heart is not innocent." This means that our relationships with others often reveal the state of our heart before God. If we are angry or complaining with others, we are essentially standing against God. This realization can be a humbling experience, but it's also an opportunity for growth and self-reflection. In my own life, I've struggled with anger and frustration, particularly in my relationships with others. But as I've come to understand the character of God's love for me, I've realized that I was trying to measure up to a standard that I could never meet. I was trying to be perfect, just like God. But God's love for me is not based on my worthiness, but on His own character. He loves me not because I'm good enough, but because He is good. So, to answer your question, I don't think God lets us get into relationships with bad people because He's failing to intervene or because He's not loving enough. Rather, I think He allows us to experience relationships with others as a way of revealing our own hearts to us. It's a chance for us to see our own sin and anger, and to turn to Him in repentance. Only when we acknowledge our own flaws and weaknesses can we begin to understand the depth of God's love for us.
