God's Discipline: The Struggles of God's Chosen Ones and Post-Traumatic Growth - Paperback

by Margaret W. LaVigne (Author)

What stops us from having a beautiful life? What's the difference between a blessed life and an easy life? When it comes to the definition of a good person, most people think of boundless forgiveness, obligational tolerance, and charity, but countless people have no idea about the 7 heavenly virtues and 7 deadly sins. The fact is that we underestimate the sin of prejudice, anger, habitual laziness and apathy.Situated in a capitalist society, are we living in a weak-blaming and failure-blaming culture? Are we live in a world lack of compassion? The all-knowing God knows our desires and motives. In Christian teachings, pride is verified as the capital vices among the 7 deadly sins. Any form of prejudice initiates implicit bullying and persecution. Countless people feel they are badly rewarded by God. They believe they deserve more. They assume their effort or benevolence deserve a better life or more blessings for being a good-hearted person. The commonplace thing is that people commit the 7 deadly sins without knowing their faults and they rarely practice the 7 heavenly virtues in their life. Are we good enough to take the blessings from God? Do we disappoint God again and again?
