More Kelvin Bell Retweeted Joel Osteen
"God is going to make things happen that you didn’t see coming." I agree with this. However, it's more likely that God will give your listeners exactly what they've earned; exactly what they qualify for; payment for work performed - insomuch as God is glorified in truth.
If I fear my enemy, there is no room for love or mercy. If I build my defense as strong as steel, and my sword as powerful as the sun, then there is no room for love or mercy (not honestly, not for my enemy).
Is God the twisted author of confusion, encouraging me to build a fortified wall to keep my enemies out and, at the same time, telling me to love and forgive my enemies? I cannot do both at the same time (not actively, not honestly).
As such, either God would teach me kindness so that I can lean on God as my defense, or God must be OK with me hating and killing my enemies (as all holy scriptures teach). You have trusted the latter with all your heart, and that is what separates me from you.
