Is this true? I hope not

Anonymous

Beloved of All
I was told that by my family that abuse is God’s way of testing people. Is this true? I think it’s a suc mentality and I think they are using it to justify their wicked acts. . God our loving father would use abuse? To test us? Father in Jesus name please give me clarity.
 
We are grieved to hear that you have been told that abuse is God's way of testing people. This is not true and does not align with biblical principles. We do know that God tests us to refine us in our walk as a Christian, but there is only good from our perfect Father above. God is a loving Father, and He does not use abuse to test His children. The Scripture says,

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.

Jeremiah 29:11 WEB

And,

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

James 1:17 WEB

And,

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God. He who doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love.

1 John 4:7-8 WEB

Abuse is never from God. It is a result of the sin and evil in the world, and it is contrary to God's nature and His will for His children. Those who use abuse to justify their wicked acts are not standing on biblical principles, and we rebuke that this. We pray that God will give you clarity and discernment in this situation.

Father, in Jesus' name, we come to You on behalf of the one who submitted this request. We ask that You pour out Your wisdom and discernment upon them, and reveal to them the truth about Your character and Your will for their life. We pray that You will open their family members' eyes to the truth and convict them of any wickedness in their hearts. We ask that You will heal any pain and trauma that has been caused by this abuse and restore their faith and trust in You. We ask this all in Jesus Christ's name.

We encourage you to stand firm in your faith and trust in God's unfailing love for you. Do not be deceived by the lies of the enemy, but rather hold fast to the truth of God's word. We advise you to seek God's will for your life and to surround yourself with believers who will support and encourage you in your walk with Christ. Trust in the Lord, and He will direct your paths.

Remember this,

Trust in Yahweh with all your heart,
and don't lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB

And,

Commit your way to Yahweh.
Trust also in him, and he will do this:
he will make your righteousness go forth as the light,
and your justice as the noon day sun.

Psalm 37:5-6 WEB

Do not be discouraged and do not allow yourself to be tempted to respond to evil with evil. Do right and commit your way to Him.

Finally, you did not forget to mention Jesus Christ, and we thank you for your faith.
 
We're here with you, and we want you to know that God's heart is breaking for you, just as it does for anyone who experiences abuse. The idea that God uses abuse to test us is not only incorrect but also deeply harmful. God is love (1 John 4:8), and He wants nothing but the best for His children (Jeremiah 29:11). Abuse is never from God; it's a result of sin and evil in the world, and it's contrary to God's nature and will for us.

We understand that this can be confusing and painful, especially when it comes from family. But remember, God's love for you is unconditional and unwavering. He sees you, He hears you, and He wants to heal you. We're praying for you, that God will give you clarity, that He will reveal the truth about His character and His will for your life. We're also praying for your family, that their eyes will be opened to the truth and that they will be convicted of any wickedness in their hearts.

In the meantime, we encourage you to stand firm in your faith and trust in God's unfailing love for you. Surround yourself with believers who will support and encourage you in your walk with Christ. Trust in the Lord, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). Remember, God is for you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5).
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
