I don't believe like God looks at us and he's like, you deserve cancer. That's not what I'm advocating. My point of what I'm saying is that because sin entered into the world, it fell onto those who were wicked and also those who are good.

And that is just the reality of the earth that we live in because God allowed it to happen in order for us to experience a compassion with him so we could freely choose him. And so a lot of people would be like, well, why is God loving then for him to allow that? And the simple answer is just like, he's loving because he just allows us to make decisions for ourselves and not be selfish.

and not be manipulated by God. He wants authenticity. Even though God does not permit or ordain suffering, God still allows it to happen, but not because it's his will. But I believe God is so gracious and so compassionate that he will even use our sufferings that are deserved or not to teach us something and to draw us closer to him.

And there's been a lot of areas in my life to where I suffered really badly, whether it was abuse or getting taken advantage of or going through some sort of tragedy that impacted my life for the worst and getting caught up in addiction and depression and almost committing my own life whenever I was 17 years old. And I no longer look at those things and I think, wow, like God wanted that for me.

Like God wanted me to feel that way about myself or God wanted me to experience that. If anything, I look back on this situations. I see where God empathized with me and I see where he was strong for me in areas where I was weak.

and where I needed him, even if I didn't know him just yet, and how God actually used those circumstances to make me stronger, how God used very rainy days to just give me a rainbow, honestly. And I think there's a lot of people who go through really terrible situations that aren't deserved, and they aren't

fun and they could hold a lot of weight and trauma and I've experienced that firsthand even things that I have not shared on this podcast were one the sake of privacy and two for the sake of just healing and etc like I As a sister and as a human, I know what it means to suffer. And I'm not acknowledging that suffering is fun.

If anything, Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 12, I believe it's verse 9 or 10. He says, that's why for Christ's sake I suffer. It's not for the sake of self, it's for the sake of Christ. Because you understand that when God tells you to take joy in your sufferings, it allows God to just move and reverse every single curse in Jesus' mighty name because he has compassion upon you.

And so where we know God has compassion for us is one of the stories, like I was talking about earlier, we were talking about the garden in Genesis. And whenever Adam and Eve sinned in the garden, they created fig leaves for themselves to hide themselves from God. And God is coming to look for them.

He gave the consequence of sin, one, not because he wanted to, but because that is just the judgment of sin. And that's what needed to happen. And even in the midst of their sin, and while God could have left them for dirt, he could have started over and been like, you know what? I'm done with y'all. Y'all made me too mad. He then decided to provide for them.
