NOT HIS FAULT

“And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;  Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.”

Genesis 3:17-19 KJV

When a baby is born and has problems, we ask God why did You let this happen?  We wonder why God doesn’t stop the violence in the world and why H alllows students to be killed at schools.  The violence, the murders and the babies being born with defects are not His fault.

It is our fault and it started with Adam and Eve disobeying God.  Everything was perfect until they disobeyed God.  We may think that what we do and say is our own business but what we do and say is very important because we either encourage people or we discourage them.

It is time we stop blaming God for everything that is wrong and accept the responsibility for our own actions and words.  God loves us and He proved how much He loves us when He gave His beloved Son to die on the cross for our sins.  May God help us to be kind and loving to one another.
