Give Credit Where It Is Due (poem) by George J. Carroll on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on January 14, 2013

Life is like the roll of the dice. Some seem to get more problems than they deserve. On the other, often what goes around comes around. I'm thinking of those who don't take care of their health by excessive bad behavior with physical abuse, smoking, eating the wrong foods, and being lazy about exercise. They can't rely on their genes to save them from the consequences of their actions. On the other side, those that are mean or cruel tend to get their comeuppance sooner or later.

Since God knows everything, he sees the good with the bad that our choices cause. He cannot interfere with our free will which he gave us and that is what we will be judged by when we die. The good and bad choices we make.

In all things, good or bad, to God be the glory. We will understand someday when we stand before Him... the WHY of everything that ever puzzled us.

God/Spirit is not to blame...
mankind just finds it a convenient scapegoat...
We all walk a path, some tougher than others...
We are responsible for our-self... It comes as
a part of our learning... I am speaking that of
adults who are able to make choices, not the
innocent who are harmed not by their choice...
that isn't His plan either...

Love and Light

"But it wasn't God's fault, He just let it happen."

Now that is a curious line. If we 'mere humans' were to stand by and "just let something happen", and others suffered because of it, we would be blamed for negligence and/or cold disregard for another's well-being - Rightfully so.

A well expressed poem of the unfair distribution of suffering.
Very well penned. Rx

What a thought-provoking write, yes, in the bad times it is easy to blame God but in the good times we so easily forget to thank Him as well. He gave us free will, as adults most things that befall us, we made happen by our wrong thought process and choices/decisions, but thank goodness there is a way for redemption through Christ.
