we were created with an inherent connection to eternity. As mortal beings, we bear witness to the destructive impact of the unavoidable curse of death. None of us desire to endure personal limitations resulting from this unpleasant fate. Despite being eternal souls, we find ourselves bound by the constraints of time and space, grappling with a metaphysical struggle that renders us feeble and helpless. When enduring prolonged pain alongside our emotional boundaries, we are prone to relinquishing our practical imagination. In our desperate yearning for solace, we naturally find solace in the belief that God's divine authority determines the clear distinction between blessings and curses. God's dominion is not merely a hopeful notion that we will be devoid of pain in the eternal future, but rather a profound assurance that every occurrence on this earth is orchestrated by a steadfast and unwavering God who upholds the covenant of life and death.
Why do we feel threatened by this unfiltered expression of both cursing and blessing? It is because we tend to face practical difficulties in the world due to our own limited understanding. We mistakenly believe that we have complete autonomy over our lives. However, the saints understand that true freedom lies in relinquishing our desire to control our own destinies and instead embracing the power of pronouncing blessings and curses. In doing so, we allow God to guide us and consume our understanding of justice, resulting in a transformative experience. When we recognize the vast difference between our own limited control and God's ultimate control, we can align ourselves with God's ideal path of blessings and curses, and in doing so, find liberation from the burden of managing our own lives.
