He Does All Things Well?

They messed up her pay and they weren’t going to sort it out. For all the fuss she was making about it, she wasn’t getting anywhere.

How can you tell her that He does all things well?

One of his daughters was raped. One of his sons killed another of his sons and then spent a while in self-imposed exile before returning only to start a revolt against him.

How can you tell him that He does all things well?

His wife left him in the lurch, taking the credit cards that she maxed out and leaving him with those and other debts to swamp him. Before long he was out on the street and no one wanted to know, only too willing to accept her story that he didn’t treat her right, but never taking his side of the matter. He could barely keep himself going such was the mental torrent he had to undergo.

How can you tell him that He does all things well?

She felt she’d been used since she was a girl. It looked like her parents wanted to use her to make money off her skills and abilities. It then looked like her boyfriends only wanted to use her for her looks and the reflected glory they would get from being with her. Then it looked like her agents and managers wanted to use her for the monies they could get from the fame she garnered.

How can you tell her that He does all things well?

All of their lives felt horrendous in every aspect. There didn’t seem any way they could be convinced that there was this all good, all loving and all powerful personal spiritual being in the universe who not only loved them but also did all things well.

So it was one thing to tell them that He did all things well. It was another thing to invite them into a real engaging and interactive relationship for them to see for themselves if this claim was true.
