A friend of mine came to me and said, "God saved me from a car crash today, but later allowed me to injure my leg at work. Why would he save me from one thing, but not another?"
This is what I sent him in a message and had to share it with you too.
Here is my personal testimony, take it as you will...
I know and believe that life is a blessing from God. I believe we are all his children. I believe we are all sent here to be tested and to learn to follow him and grow from a baby to an adult with all the life lessons we can to be the greatest we can one day. I also believe that as his children he allows us (like all good parents) to make mistakes, to fall down, to hurt our leg, to experience trials. Because it is from pain and heartache, and working out that we grow muscles or grow our spirit and become wiser and more like God would have us be. He gives us agency. And because of this agency he does not force us to do anything. He loves us and lets us govern ourselves. As a parent myself I know this. And this has been a recent discovery for myself that I can relate to.
So when you ask God, "Why would you save me from one harm, but not from another?" Well he is the most greatest, most all knowing God. He knows the trials that you need to grow and become wiser. It seems funny that he may use a leg issue to help your spirit grow. We cannot comprehend the way trials work. But as humans have children. We the parents knows what is best for them. We know that our children must be left a lone when it comes to learning to walk. If we hold there hand the entire time, every time they will not learn to do it on their own. But we let them go, we let them fall, we let them bruise their knee. Because its all apart of life. We must experience pain, to know the greater joy. And we will never understand why we go through even greater challenges in life.... like a huge one... cancer.... Our lives do not end here. They do go on is my testimony. Many trials are beyond us and are so "unfair" but they humble our hearts, if we let them. God will never give us trials we can not handle. I have been taught this in my faith. And I know it. He loves us. But he also loves us enough to let us fall so we can grow and experience all forms of happiness from being stronger and wiser as He wishes for us.
