WHY ME....?!

Many times when we aspire to live for Christ and when we work with zeal and faith for God, we are put into tests. In pain we cry out asking 'why ME....?'. Sometimes we will not be able to understand the reason for our troubles. Our hearts begin to analyse our deeds and they keep trying to prove innocent. But who are we to doubt God's ways?!! Oh no!!

When i consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him? (Psalm 8:4).

My dear child of God, are you sitting in the ashes and asking to yourself, "why did this happen to me?!...., Ow! why did I lose my dear one?!". Let me remind you the life of Job.
Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity. (Job 2:10).
Job lost everything including his loving children. Job never did understand why he had suffered; he felt bitter, but he never turned away from God. Job was convinced that someday, God would rescue him. He was sure that oneday God would bring to limelight his innocence.
I know that my savior lives, and at the end He will stand on this earth. My flesh may be destroyed, yet from this body I will see God. Yes, I will see Him for myself, and I long for that moment! (Job 19:25-27).

Think about the life of Joesph. He was hated by his brothers, put into a pit for no reason, sold as a slave , accused for a wrong thing that he didn't do. But he knew that Lord will reveal openly that the almighty God is with him. The Bible says,
Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the Lord tested him. (Psalm 105:19).

We cannot understand or doubt the ways of the Lord. We need to learn to praise and thank God for anything and everything that comes in our lives. Every time we go through loss, pain and suffering, we must strive to REJOICE. Joy is not necessarily the absence of suffering. It is the presence of God.~Sam Storms.
Let me tell you that My Heavenly Father is perfect in His ways! Always!!yes!!

Temptations and trials are WONDERFUL times to get closer to our creator.
Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. (James 1:12).

Even if loss and situations have broken your heart into pieces, God is able to create a masterpiece out of your shattered life. So its too often in the details of life that we see God's beautiful work so clearly displayed.At times, we may be tempted to worry about things both big and small. But I say with sureness that we can rest assured even in the midst of the trials and challenges. God is able to work something in and through our lives, including the difficult areas, more beautiful than we ever imagined.

Hardships and challenges serve only to polish us! As said by Charles Spurgeon, Those who dive in the sea of affliction bring up rare pearls. At the times of trials we are supposed to sit and understand the power of our God in quietness.

Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us, the years in which we have seen evil. (Psalm 90:15).

One word, one touch from God can change our lives. One look of God can change your situations upside down. Oh! All you who labor and are heavy laden, come to Jesus, the river of love! He will give you rest.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.(Philippians 4:7).

I could tell of God's love forever!!
~Blessed Christian.
