fishstix said:That's one possibility. Sometimes it does take discomfort for us to grow and mature. But I wouldn't say that everything God uses for our good was necessarily His will in the first place. God can use *all* things for the good of those who love Him. So even if we or someone else messes up and does something that was not God's will, He can still make some good come from it for those who love Him. Thus, even if we grow and learn things from some situation that we put ourselves into, it doesn't necessarily mean that God actually wanted us to put ourselves into that situation in the first place. Sometimes it may, but not always.
Again, agreed!
If only every situation came with either a big green "Go for it" or a big red "Run fast, run far" stamped across it, life would be just so much easier!
