Hello. Very sorry to hear about your injuries. When i ran accross your post it reminded me of something i have been thinking about recently. It seems as though you think it was God's plan for you to get bit in the face by that dog, as most people do. This does bring to mind some thought provoking questions that I have had. Does God wants us to suffer and is God is in control? You don't have to answer, it's just something to think about.I am content with the scars the Lord has seen fit to give me, though a part of me will be annoyed by them at times I'm sure.
People like to say God is in control and everything that happens, happens according to His "plan". Well if that is the case then I think young children dying of cancer, innocent people dying in car wrecks, or kids getting murdered in school shootings are all "part of God's plan". I have a hard time believing that. We are children of God and I don't know of any parent that wants, plans, or intends for their children to be in pain, suffer, or die young.
I certainly believe God is all powerful and could be in "absolute control" if He wanted to, but if that were the case, there would be no free will, Lucifer would have never rebelled against God and got cast out of heaven, Adam and Eve never would have eaten the forbidden fruit, and life here would be "perfect".
The Bible says Satan is the ruler of this earth and we all know he is up to no good. So the way I see it... pain, suffering, and untimely death are not the will of God, they are of Satan. God is all knowing, so He knows whether an innocent child is going to die or not, but I do NOT believe that His plan for that child was an untimely death. That's where I'm currently at with it, anyway. Just thought I would share my $.02 on the issue and provoke some thought and discussion.
I will pray for a supernaturally fast, pain free recovery for you, with no long term issues, or scars of anykind!!!
