Episode 147 – Everything Happens For a Reason

In this podcast we talk about that phrase “Everything happens for a reason.” Is that true? Sometimes we believe it is and sometimes we don’t. Usually it depends on whether we can understand what is happening to us. But our belief doesn’t change the truth of something. My experience is that there is growth opportunity in everything. God does not inflict pain. He help us to grow when pain happens. Sometimes we use the truth that there is a reason as a comfort, and sometimes we use it as a copout. We abdicate responsibility by saying “well, there must be a reason…” Then we do nothing. We always have choice and if we choose to allow the growth, it will come.
