If the Father loved me why would he do this?

You fill in the blanks.

Why would a loving Creator cause suffering?

Why would a loving Creator cause pain?

Why would a loving Creator cause death?

Why would a loving Creator cause destruction?

If you were given everything, would you appreciate it?  Would you value it?  Would you assume it was just your right?  Think about it.

If everything came easy, would it have meaning?

Please understand, we have been through many trials.  Death, Robbery, destruction, I could go on.   I would never change our trials and tribulations.  In the absolute darkness of suffering, we saw the mercy of the Father.  In the absolute grief, the miracles of the Father.  These things make us able to stand through the ultimate trials.  To be overcomers.  To achieve the greastest gift. 

Think about any king in history.  Did they ask people to do something? No.  They ordered it.  They forced cooperation.

Our Heavenly Father may punish us for our wrongs, but he always gives us a choice.  Choices are something kings do not allow.  They demand obediance.

Our Father only wants those who choose him willingly and freely.  The things that happen in our life are to get our attention so we can choose.  At the end we will have many witnesses to stand against us to say:

He/she was taught about the world, and was taught about (love, mercy, pain, suffering, forgiveness, etc.)  But, even though they were given examples, they made:

-This choice, example: Worshiping Idols

-This choice, example: Living in evil, and giving hate

-This choice, example: Cursing, blasphemy, and otherwise attacking the Word.

So, they have chosen the lake of fire. 

Now, Imagine the Father, Yeshuah and the Holy Spirit there at judgement. 

And the person being judged says, it's not fair.  I didn't know.  You can't judge me that way.

Remember- The Father, Yeshuah and the Holy Spirit are Holy.  Do you think that there can be any doubt of their Holiness?  No.  Your trials are also your witnesses.

There are many witnesses to your trials and your deeds.  They are seen and recorded. (More on the witnesses later)

So, this is why you have these experiences.  So you can make your Eternal Choice.

What a wonderful creator we have.  He gives us choices.
