Thanks, Ohio.

I think people who believe God doesn't care are focused on the temporal.

Job is the example. He was as good as they get, and God tested him, to the extreme. Job did pretty well with the test, but was far from perfect. God came in and rebuked his clueless friends, but not Job, at least not as much. Then he blessed Job more than before.

That's going to be our story. Hopefully our well-meaning friends fare better than Job's.
