Dear Scr. Banshee...your post is one of those, where you feel like banging against the computer & or table, cry silently or out loud...or pray...
I have my share of frustration with bureaucrac/zy
& my great wish, desire, hope & believe is: it's all transitory for a better goal...if I can help it, I don't want to take part in the menace & ratraces, yet I am somehow bound by many obligations too...I thank God, that I never had it that bad, that I completely gave up...though the trying times were many, however I could never compare myself with dear, dear , dear Mene...terrible, what she suffered & when I read that rubbish in TF, I was so deceived, that I thought the fault lay with her - mainly - God & her please forgive me...then I read something on the different boards of how she refused to meet Sarah & was getting her College degree in Russian? or French?...I was so happy for her, that she fought for a better, successful life...
how hard it was to hear, that apparently she couldn't live the pain afflicted to her & fled into some dangerous world.I feel ashamed, not praying more for her.
I know one thing, it released me IMMEDIATELY of all the burdens I so far had...all your cares/burdens cast upon HIM, for HE careth for you...I felt that, really felt that so often...it feels better than any loving person caressing you, cause it's in time of need so much deeper.There are so many hurt people in the world...it's terrible & certainly no machine
around to fix that...
Yes, I believe with all my heart in the unfailing
justice of God, where He shows sick, proud man, who the boss is & those who suffered/believed have the recuperation they longed for....eternal life in the serenest environment imageable...& even now the inner support, which helps so much to go the extra mile in life.
Sure, the fittest gets further, down on earth...I doubt though, whether he/she always "survives"...the super-fit-ones often happen to be very proud...it's been reported, that God doesn't "fancy" that...He can't stand it...so there's a problem...
survival for the meekest & sweetest in the long run, even if the stonefaced/hearted people like to take advantage of that...I guess you have to mix some wisdom with sweetness.That means to run & hide, when some ogres or the like appear on the scene or to face them with the power given at the right time.
Wish you all His very best & Mene/Merry too!!!
