Thank you, Teresa!

Yes, let us all stay focused on our reality. Yes, I need to be reminded, daily. May we all encourage each other to live the Set Free Life!

God never judges us, we set this into motion with the law of consequence or, "as ye sow, ye reap" or in the east, it is referred to as the law of karma. this teaches us (or allows us the opportunity to learn) that what we do comes back to us, every thought, action or word. God gave us free will to choose to follow the way of wisdom in order to be happy or to suffer and learn the hard way. Earth is Schoolhouse 101 and we are here to learn our lessons in order to make our way back to God. God never punishes us but He does allow us to learn the hard way if we insist on doing it, "our way". God bless us, His plan is not for us to suffer.

I'm glad you visited today and left a comment, thank you, NN, NE!

Earth truly is our "classroom", and sometimes I feel I'm in a Masters or doctorate program instead of a 101 class, 😂 Jesus Christ is the way and He alone provides the way back to Father God, a pathway that the Lord alone created for us and gave to us. What a wonderful, free gift!

God disciplines His beloved children when we stray off the "God path". His discipline's purpose is to restore us to fellowship with Him.

Yes, in the beginning, in the Edenic era, God's plan was not for us to suffer, but to rule His realm with Him, and enjoy what He had created for us. But, since The Fall, since Adam and Eve's rebellion, much suffering came to humanity, as we see in the Old Testament (the Hebrew Scriptures).

Christ Jesus suffered when He, the Son of God, was here during His earthly ministry. And, He told us that we, His followers, will suffer for His sake. But one day, He'll take each of us home to His Father's mansion, where there is no suffering. We'll live in peace, love, and joy forever more!
