Deneb -
Good for you for thinking up some GOOD questions! And yes, I most definitely want to answer them, as best I can, or at least to speculate with you a bit...
Much about God is a mystery, and will always be, as long as we're confined to a mortal body, with a finite mind.
Much I have no clue about.
But this I know: God is good, and God loves me. Also, God sees the BIG picture, while I'm limited to my own little horizon... as well as limited by time and space. He has no such boundaries... and He alone can see how something seemingly horrendous in my own life (like losing two unborn babies) can work together for my ultimate good... which I can't comprehend... but, since I know He's good and loves me, I can choose to trust Him with the ultimate working out of such things...
And I don't have to understand Him, in order to love Him...
However, my time is too short to delve into deeper conversation with you at this moment... I'll try to get to it later tonight, but I'm moving tomorrow from Virginia to Oregon... along with 6 of my 7 kids... the other one will stay behind with my husband to oversee the movers, and join us on Saturday. I shall be computer-less for a week or more! Egads!
I'll get to you as soon as I can, and perhaps others can chime in?
Shalom, Dena
