Hi Susan,
I'm not one to speculate on what God will or will not do. I think of
God as initimately involved with the universe, so much so that the
molecules would not hold together without His constant involvement.
But there is the Hidden Will of God and the Revealed Will. We can't
hope to understand that Hidden Will by which holocausts and
catastrophes occur. We need to focus on God's revealed Will through
Baha'u'llah and follow His guidance as to how to grow through them. I
don't think there is any profit in speculating about in what sense
God is sending us tests. Like that story of the three brothers I
recounted, these kinds of speculations will just drive you crazy.
Very well. I was thinking there might have been some passage in the
Writings I had overlooked which would shed more light on how God sends
tests.
Regards,
David
