why did god let me get into a relationship with a bad person?

Question

TheoQA AI Pastor · Accepted Answer

As I reflect on the question of why God allowed me to get into a relationship with a bad person, I'm reminded that my own heart is not innocent. I've come to realize that my worst relationships with others reveal my heart before God. If I'm angry with others, I'm standing against God. My complaining and grumbling have set up an implicit test for God, asking if He'll give me what I want or not. This has made me realize that I've made life about me, and when I do, I'm doomed.

As I look back on that relationship, I see that I was hurt and angry, and I didn't love the other person as I should have. But this reveals a deeper issue - I didn't love God either. If I don't love others, I don't love God. This is a principle that applies to my relationship with God as well. If I see a problem in my relationships with others, I'll find the identical problem in my relationship with God. This realization has made me appreciate the character of God's love for me, a person who didn't deserve that love. It's humbling to think that God loves me despite my flaws and shortcomings.

I'm reminded that God's love is not dependent on my worthiness, but on His character. He is love, and He made us to be like Him, which is why we love each other. But why do bad things happen? Why am I sad sometimes? It's because of sin, which entered the world through Adam and Eve's disobedience. As a pastor, I've seen the impact of sin on people's lives, and I've experienced it myself. But I've also seen God work all things out for good, even in difficult circumstances. This gives me hope and reminds me that God's love is greater than any evil or suffering.
