Is this how God builds your hopes?
Proverbs 11:8
The righteous man is rescued from trouble, and it comes on the wicked instead
Proverbs 11:19
The truly righteous man attains life, but he who pursues evil goes to his death
Proverbs 12:21
No harm befalls the righteous, but the wicked have their fill of trouble
Proverbs 13:25
The righteous eat to their hearts' content, but the stomach of the wicked goes hungry.
Proverbs 15:29
The LORD is far from the wicked but he hears the prayer of the righteous
Proverbs 16:31
Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained by a righteous life.
Is this how God shatters your dreams?
Ecclesiastes 7:20
There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins.
What's with the empty promises and false hope? Why did God set unattainable goals with infinite reward for mankind?
Dont say that's what Jesus was for. What about all the poeple that died miserable before his birth not knowing the future?

The righteous man gets it all, too bad there are no righteous men. LOL!

The aged apostle John wrote: “If anyone does commit a sin, we have a helper with the Father, Jesus Christ, a righteous one.” (1 John 2:1) Why did John suggest that Jesus is our “helper” particularly when we “commit a sin”? Well, we sin daily, and sin leads to death. (Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 6:23) However, Jesus laid down his life as a sacrifice for our sins. And he is at the side of our merciful Father to plead in our behalf. Each of us needs such help. How may we accept it? We need to repent of our sins and seek forgiveness on the basis of Jesus’ sacrifice. We also need to avoid repeating our sins.

i became with an Aries guy and that they are very egocentric and self centred and emotionally empty, i'm a pisces so no longer a good adventure as am too delicate for harsh Aries. in line with danger they choose masculine women people who can arise for themselves against an Aries as are warm headed. Am courting a fellow pisces and is bliss, we purely get one yet another and on comparable wavelength, could properly be romantic and mushy and loving yet yet loads of interest and laughs. i admire a worrying guy, with an uncomplicated going character so have got here upon that, do no longer purely like the aggresive Aries as think of are consistently good and argue over the slightest ingredient just to be good.

Everyone gets their share.
...for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
Matthew 5:45
"Is this how God shatters your dreams?" Funny.
Try peace and joy.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7
It's there for the taking.

Sounds like a way to drive the "wicked" to God, if you ask me. Silly.
