How Many Has God Killed?

[RDK]

If our world was perfect in every way, we would not have the experience of choosing the better. We can love or we can hate. We make that choice. Which one is better? Could we value something that we have most fully cherished unless we risk having it taken away? Let me simplify. Here is one of those instructive visions that I mentioned before; Imagine the best pie that you could ever eat. When does this pie taste the best to you? After you have eaten a pack full meal, or if you haven't eaten anything for a week. The pie does not change, but your value for it surely does. In other words, you don't appreciate the pie unless you are away from it for a while.
This second vision adds to the explanation of the first; If you had a box of the best soap cleaner that you could buy, how would you test it out. Wouldn't you try to find the dirtiest thing around to test its worth?
God wants to show us that He loves us. He has designed the world to be the dirtiest place imaginable so that we can value just how much love He has with which to clean us up. It is all a matter of appreciation. We would not value a healing unless we were first hurt. We would not value a family unless we had been left alone. Yes the hardships on this earth are more than some of us can bear. But the end promises to make up for all the losses. There is no trial on this earth that is not common to man.
