A lady in a foreign country is beautifully learning how to journal that which God shares with her. When she read my journal entry, "Why do bad things happen to good people, she decided to ask the same question. In this journal, there is translation from one language to another, and I may not have properly corrected the English translation, so I may have missed something. While most of this journal applies to everyone, segments are directed to questions the lady has in her heart. Following is what she recorded:If bad things would only happen to bad people and good things to good people, then "being good" would be salvation through good works. You could then say that you can perform by yourself and dont need Me. You would probably do good, not for your love for Me, but for immediate reward. I can bless both good and bad people. All can come to Me and I can bless whomever I want, even the bad, if I like. Good people are attacked by Satan to weaken your faith in me. He supports the bad to make them look desirable. People want the good things bad people might have and believe the bad ways are the ways how to get good things. Bad people are supported/ empowered by Satan because they will lead many into destruction. Satan makes good people look bad to devastate people. He wants to discourage you and put blame, weakness, and pain on My people to destroy them and to destroy My relationship with you. Bad things happen to good people because you are living on earth and not in heaven. Help each other. Support each other. Dont be impressed by Satan to put blame on victims. The victims might have not done wrong. Bad things happen to good people to make you feel hopeless and to degrade and humiliate Me. Satan wants you to believe I have forsaken you. Do good because you love Me and not because you will get rewards. Dont look down or judge victims because you cannot say why it happened to them. I know them, but you cannot judge peoples hearts. Dont judge, just help. I decide when I judge and punish. Dont think that you can do it. Bad things happen to both good and bad people. I tell you to love and help each other and to do My works and bring My love. Feel as much sorrow for the bad people as for the good. Dont think the good have done wrong because something bad happened to them. Its nothing you can judge. My judgement will come. You love and help. Also, the church should try less to judge the protesters if they are wrong or right, evil or good [this is about Occupy Wall Street]. Rather, start caring for the poor. I told My church to take care of the poor. Christians who are poor and unemployed should not feel bad, worthless, or forsaken. I want the church to love poor Christians just as they love rich Christians. The question is, do you believe that you have life in Me and that you can give in My name and receive in My name? Many have already died. Dont be discouraged. Remember, I sent you. Preach My word of life over regions, over nations, over neighborhoods. Comfort and care. Satan wants My body weak and paralyzed. You are not as weak as you think and you can help a lot of people, even if you just pray with someone. Pray with your tongue, with your hands, and with your heart. Bad things will not happen to My people forever. They happen now though, and it reveals that Satan destroys and kills, though you dont want to know it. I want My church to pray together. Pray for My blessings for both bad and good people and for yourself. I will forget none of My children. I have never forgotten a single one. And nobody has died in vain and no tear was in vain. I come to raise My children and to bring peace and joy. Dont be discouraged, dont hide away from the victims, and dont feel forsaken when you are a victim. I am your love and your joy and I will come for every single one of My children. Dont blame each other and dont feel discouraged to do My works and to pray to Me. Its not in vain and I am not deaf. I dont have a heart of stone. I will never forget a single child of mine. I will reign in my kingdom and never stop loving you. You will not leave me but be happy in my presence. Then you will know that Satan is a liar and I am the truth. You will be happy with Me.
