You could say he was sent to your life; but then all the people we meet are God-sent.
True, about experience.. actually doing the work is what counts!
I followed you; it'd be interesting to see more of your stories!
Also, these questions are what interest me too; feel like they are correlated..
Why did God bother making earth if he always intended for us to live in heaven? AND If God is loving and all powerful why is the world full of pain?
Maybe we can explore the "answers" together (either here on in a separate post!)
