“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”
John 8:36
“If there is a God and that God is a good God, then why is there suffering?”
“What kind of a God is it that has created evil?”
Ever heard those comments?
Ever made them yourself?
You’re not alone.
Many people have thought the same thing.
But that’s not straight thinking.
Let me tell you the way it truly is.
God did not create evil.
God created perfection.
God made man perfectly free, and freedom therefore gave rise to evil.
In order to love, we must be free to choose to love.
Then, in order to choose to love, we have to be able to choose not to love.
Which kind of love do you want from others?
A forced love or a free love?
Which sounds better, “I have to love you” or “I love you”?
About Don Woodruff
Retired from FedEx and dedicated to sharing God's Word with others. I send out devotionals weekly and have written two books: "The Crucifixion Catalyst / Unspoken Messages From God To Believers" (published and available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble **out of print**) and "I'm Saved Now What?" (unpublished). I am currently working on a third one that will be a Daily Devotional. The devotionals on my Blog have been viewed by people in all 50 states and over 80 foreign countries. I sincerely believe the Lord provides the content for the devotionals and in 2013 He “tasked” me with distributing them and storing them on my Blog. They are free and I will not solicit any donations. I hope you enjoy them and feel free to leave comments if one of them speaks to you personally, or if you have a suggestion.
