Thank God for being cheated

Cheating is not a right thing. That doesn't benefit people who are cheated. Moreover, that doesn't benefit those who cheat, either--even though it may seem to benefit them in a short term, never in a longer term, absolutely never in terms of eternity. History will judge what you do; you cannot escape from it; you will be humiliated not only by the people, but especially by your own self--your own conscience will never forgive you.

So many cheatings are going on, though, throughout the world. Worst ones are those done under the name of something beautiful--such as "righteousness", "goodness", and even "love"--so that the act of cheating is justified to be accepted as something which express those values. People cheat themselves without knowing what they are doing. Oh, my goodness! And if they don't know what they are doing, what do you expect? Things will go out of control, which could end up as a disaster that even would destroy the whole planet...

Somebody has to stop this. Somebody has to be able to stop this. However, one thing bothering is why God allow these things to be happening. If God is allowing these cheating to continue, knowing (I believe He knows them) what's happening, but for some reason (which is beyond my understanding) He wouldn't dare to intervene and stop them, then, what should be my attitude towards that?

At least I should first say, "Thank you God for the cheating" and then I should try to figure out what is God's Will behind it, and what is my role which He expects me to fulfill in this situation. I somehow do need to develop my deep relationship with Him in following the right path. It is easy to say "follow your conscience" but if I don't have a clear idea about what it means, these terms are also so easy to be used by someone (such as "religion") for its particular (organizational) intention and direction, which may not be the right direction from God's viewpoint...

Anyway, even though you are cheated, don't just cheat back reactively, but follow the right way. As long as you go the way which your conscience agrees, the history is with you, so is God.
