Your Question:
Why did God let my
Answer:
As I reflect on the question of why God allowed you to break your foot, I'm reminded of my own experiences and the lessons I've learned as a pastor. Sometimes, God allows us to experience pain and suffering so that we might recognize the nature we're exhibiting. In your case, it's possible that God allowed you to break your foot so that you might recognize the nature of demanding your right to yourself. It's a reminder that our actions have consequences, and that God wants us to take responsibility for our own lives. This reminds me of a conversation I had with my wife, Susan, about how God works in our lives. She was struggling with her husband's anger issues, and she felt like God wasn't listening or helping. But I reminded her that God's purpose is to help us take the right road, not to prevent us from experiencing pain or suffering altogether. It's a difficult truth to accept, but it's a reminder that our freedom and responsibility are intertwined. In the same way, Jesus' cry on the cross, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" is a powerful example of this principle. Jesus knew that he would have to bear our sins, to suffer and to die, but he also knew that it was a necessary part of his mission to save humanity. And so, he took full responsibility for our sins, and in doing so, he brought redemption and forgiveness to all of us. It's a powerful reminder that our suffering can be turned to our own good, and that God is always working to help us take the right road, even when it's difficult and painful.
