When an undesirable event hits, many of us too often associate the situation with God’s wrath.

We begin to blame the poor judgment we just made as the reason for the horrible situation we find ourselves. Some of those who lost their job during this long period of economic recession blame it on their poor choices and see God’s wrath in their joblessness. Parents waiting to take their baby home for the first time since birth three months ago struggle to understand why their baby has to stay in the hospital under doctors’ supervision while another parent’s child was given a clean bill of health moments after birth. Many people ask whether God will ever forgive them for their past poor judgment.
