God loves us. Hence God gives us good things. Yet, when wisdom, discernment or the fruit of the spirit is not exercised, God's providence can become a bad thing. For example, God provides resources for us; resources like money, time, gifts and talents. But greed can drive the love of money; when used wisely, the love of time can be used for selfish needs, when used without the influence of the Holy Spirit, gifts and talents can be used as means of promotion of self. When God gives us a partner to enjoy, our obsession with him/her starts to destroy our lives. These are only a few of the examples of how the gifts of God can become unhealthy for the soul.
