English Christian Song | "People Should Not Measure God's Work Against Their Notions"

January 12, 2025

I

God never acts or treats anyone according to human notions or desires. God always does what He desires to do, according to His own way and based on His own disposition essence. God has principles in how He treats every person; nothing He does to each person is based on human notions, imaginings, or preferences—this is the aspect of God's work that is most at odds with human notions. When God arranges an environment for people that completely contradicts their notions and imaginings, they form notions, judgments, and condemnations against God in their hearts, and may even deny Him. Can God then satisfy their needs? Absolutely not. God will never change His way of working and His desires according to human notions. It's people who need to change then.

II

People need to let go of their notions, accept and submit to the environments arranged by God, experience those environments, and seek the truth to resolve their own notions, instead of measuring what God does against their notions to see if it's correct. When people insist on holding onto their notions, they develop resistance against God—this happens naturally. The root of resistance lies in the fact that what people usually possess in their hearts are without a doubt their notions and imaginings and not the truth. Therefore, when faced with God's work not aligning with human notions, people can defy God and make judgments against Him. This proves that people fundamentally lack a heart of submission to God, their corrupt disposition is far from being cleansed, and they essentially live according to their corrupt disposition. They are still incredibly far from attaining salvation.
