About this Quote

This quote by Robert South speaks with the idea of God's magnificent plan and purpose. It recommends that God's actions, even when they seem extreme or challenging, are eventually for the higher good. God affects us with the mind of a dad, implying that He is wise and loving in His choices. He does not act out of malice or anger, however out of love and empathy. He eliminates, not out of spite or revenge, but in order to bring about a higher good. He does this so that He can raise us up once again, to a greater level of understanding and spiritual growth. In this way, God's actions are eventually for our benefit, even if they might appear tough or agonizing in the moment.
