Simple but lovely thought

Jeff I totally agree with the advantages you list. However, I’d like to clarify that I’m not saying that God directly materially blesses Christians more, for example, natural disasters fall upon us all. I’d say indirectly though, through other genuinely loving Christians, Christians can often end up more “blessed”.

I’ll attempt to express it my original point another way: One of the advantages of being a Christian is you’re in a better position to bless and to be blessed by other Christians. Think of a loving family; How is life better for a family member than a non-family member? Well, there are heaps of things. For a start, you can share the joys and help each other through hardships. You can also trust everyone in the house :sunglasses:

Job also has a lot to say about God’s blessings, which in the end greatly outstripped the evils and suffering of his life :stuck_out_tongue:
