All of us have been taught that God is the all-powerful, all-knowing Being who can do anything He wants. We also learn that God is an infinitely loving and compassionate God who does not want to see us unhappy. As a result, we combine these notions of love and power about God in order to perceive a God who works tirelessly for our advantage. Unfortunately, what we mean by our advantage is oftentimes on our own terms and not necessarily on God’s terms.
