Tough reality, experiences & challenges YET in God almighty’s abundant grace

When a person or family faces tough turbulent times and especially over long periods of time, the community of which the person belongs (as is expected somehow) starts interrogating that person’s circumstances and issues and even personal life.
For instance, if deaths, some premature happen, just like it was the case for Job’s children in the Bible or if one suffers from conditions as difficult as Vitiligo, people tend to be up in arms questioning the things, the circumstances.

They start looking for explanations including claiming that people that suffer are cursed or bewitched or that such people and their parents or grandparents must have committed terrible sins including swindling others or even that the parents or grandparents failed to follow customs and even failed to offer this and that sacrifices.

Even some close relatives, especially since they have some background or historical information or claims that are not reasonably verifiable, start coining up stories and theories and even start spreading rumors colluding with even neighbors in such talks and worse even claiming and asserting the beginning of the end of the affected people and families…

It is as if they look forward to even more misfortune and suffering of the affected people and families in order for the accusers to finally verify and confirm their (the accusers) often false and wild rumors and claims.
Yet the accusers often forget that God almighty has the final answers to all and even the humanly unexplainable circumstances facing His children and all who trust in His power, justice and sovereignty…
Like He won the battles for Job and other believers in the Bible, God almighty eventually offers solace for His children.
And even if He chooses not to provide solutions on earth, He still promises peace and joy in His eternity with His children.

.. False accusers and rumor-mongers who often meddle into other people lives often overlook the fact that the earthly life is not only short but an experience akin to ‘chasing the wind’ as Ecclesiastes 3 in the Bible elaborately explains.
As they meddle into other human beings lives and affairs, the busybodies may lose sight of what really matters in life.

… As they gossip and look for humanly answers to complex life circumstances, they may also get entwined in practices that they feel and think will make them relevant and accepted in the wider Society driven by an unreasonable pressure requiring that its members must conform to many forms of beliefs.
The conformity pressures promise acceptance into Society and which pressure also tends to annihilate people individual and sovereign rights including rights and  freedom of association and thoughts.

The pressure for conformity (also read as peer pressure in some circles) in different social strata continues rising daily leading to confusion and with risk of resulting to stress and depression in some of the weak in Society 🤔🤔
