great post CG but my prediction is that the response will be about God doing it for K4 or the institution of m itself and a scriptural reference. Nothing about him working on him... And I am not disrespecting God, but I am also aware of free will. Kev, you don't say a lot about that, come to think of it. IMO, any time something terrible happens, God wants us to look inside ourselves & lean on Him. But in cases like these, where we played a part, imho, I think he wants US to work on changing ourselves. Even in cases of cancer or accidents in which we did NOT play a part, I think He wants us to rise to the occasion, and not sit on our hands hoping he fixes it for us.
I think we are to do our truly hardest work ever and become our personal best, and leave the results up to Him, asking only for the guidance to know HIs will and the strength to handle whatever comes, since God won't "make" a WAS return. We have to trust that no matter what comes our way in life, God will be there for us.For me that is faith, with detachment. Not "either or".
