Does God really exist

A week today (last Friday) i posted my about my medical condition of being infected with Hepatitis B and how worried I have been. I got both personal messages and comments that made me feel like “DOES GOD REALLY EXIST?. IF HE DOES, WHY THE SUFFERING. DOES GOD SHOW FAVORITISM? IF GOD TRULY EXIST, WHAT IS HE LIKE? I started feeling like God is morally dubious. How will he allow such a thing to happen to one person within a very short time. Why will he creat Country like America, Britain, France, Canada, etc so great and Cameroon in mysteries? Why will he allow the wickedness of man to his fellow human? Why will he allow the wickedness to prosper and to oppress the weak? I thought that given the suffering in the world, if God exists then he is either not all-powerful, or he is malevolent, lazy or shows favouritism. A loving, all-powerful God would presumably create a loving world. So why didn’t he?

I found out that the God of the Bible is Love in its truest, purest form, and has created a world with love at the centre. But for love to be possible there must be freedom to choose, since real love is chosen, not forced. One of the greatest human dignities is that we have freedom to choose all kinds of things. When this is removed, a great sense of injustice rises up. Our movies are full of real and fictional stories about escaping entrapment or slavery into real freedom precisely because this is so central to what it means to be human. God has made a world that is good, but with freedom to choose wrong, and our ancestors used their freedom to reject God and introduced a brokenness that has filtered into every layer of life; our choices, our relationships and even our very biology(My case with hepatitis reading from what he was manifesting and what am told about Hepatitis). Truly as I was told, some suffering (but not all) is caused by human actions. There times when we are on the receiving end of someone else’s foolish choices, but also times when we have caused the suffering of another. The problem of suffering resides in every human heart. It is internal as well as external.

IS GOD PUNISHING ME?
I feel singled out for punishment in my suffering and this has increase my sense of loneliness and isolation. But the bible says, suffering is not a personal punishment from God, but is rather a general consequence of living in a world that is broken and with which everyone is caught up one way or another.
DOES GOD CARE ABOUT MY SUFFERING?
The feeling was it is very convenient for God to set the world up and then stay so distant! He doesn’t seem to have to experience the repercussions of the freedom he allowed. Does he even care about what people are going through? Why doesn’t he come and experience life here and get his hands dirty? The amazing news is that he did.
We are told God did not remain distant but entered our broken world as the person of Jesus Christ to face suffering head on. Jesus Christ came close enough to look people in the eye and do something about their suffering. He brought hope into situations of deep despair, by healing the sick, restoring the marginalised and even raising the dead. Surely I matter to Jesus. More than this. Jesus himself experienced great suffering. Christianity is not a symbol of victory and triumph, but of execution and death. Jesus was arrested and tried unfairly, sentenced to death, betrayed and disowned by his closest friends, flogged, beaten up, nailed to a cross and left to die of asphyxiation. The prophet Isaiah 53 describes Jesus hundreds of years beforehand as, a man of sorrows and familiar with suffering.

Now, i feel most at home with he who have been through something similar. With Jesus there is a shared experience of suffering. He knows because he has been there.
Yet, Jesus has not just suffered like me, he has also suffered for me in a way that goes far beyond Hepatitis B. Jesus died so that i can conquer Hepatitis B and live. Jesus took all of my mistakes, regrets, guilt, failures upon himself, so that i can know forgiveness, comfort, restoration and peace with God.

For those who condemn me to say my disease was cause by wayward life, They help me to have an individual retreat to gain deep knowledge of the scripture and to those who comforted me, thank you for feeling my pains. The God news is that my son tested negative and my adopted son was also negative. God is not man that he should lie neither is he the son of man that he should change his mind

Amen

It looks like you received those messages because the enemy loooveeess to attack us and kick us when we're down... I am happy your children tested negative, and hoping that we will keep seeing you here, and you letting us know how you improved or recovered completely. Thank you for this post.

Isaiah 53:5

Oh yes, He does, my friend. But we need to magnify His name, not ours.

Let me share this here: John 3.30 He must increase, but I must decrease.

Lord bless Lloydmuh, and this prayer request. Lord we ask your healing , knowledge, wisdom and understanding for Lloydmuh. Please bless Lloydmuh's life and you be glorified, in Jesus gracious name, Amen!

Thanknyou

Thank you

Amen. God bless you

When I was young and working in health care, the AIDS epidemic was raging. Nurses and other health practitioners were refusing to care for milllions of patients who were dying, and in desperate need of comfort. Pregnant nurses were refusing to care for these patients, not knowing how this disease was transmitted (which is fair enough I think). Over the years, those who were dying were villified for their lifestyle (being gay primarily), but there were many patients who contracted AIDS through blood transfusions or from their partners, etc. People like Princess Diana and others told us everyone 'has worth' & can make a contribution. Atitudes slowly changed. Now, AIDS & HIV is like diabetes - nobody really cares now & treatment is much better. Health workers don't bat an eye when someone says they are HIV positive. People didn't 'ask' to contract or die from AIDS; people don't 'ask' to get any illness. The villification became worse because people knew how this illness was contracted, and still engaged in risky behaviour. There is much you can do to care for yourself if you have Hep B. You can still have a post-vaccine; quit smoking & drinking if you do so; eat healthy; drink lots of water; use protection when engaging in sex or transferring other body fluids; exercise; limit stress; get regular check ups with your doctor/health clinic, etc. See this link: https://www.webmd.com/hepatitis/digestive-diseases-hepatitis-b#3
It can disappear as well but can also flare up under stressful circumstances. It's a virus so lives inside your body and hibernates.
I'm glad your babies tested negative. You are very brave to put all of your life story on here.
How inspiring you are!
Cheers
