'WHY' AND REASON

Why does it feel like every time I get the slightest bit content with the way things are going... stuff happens?

Why do things tend to go from bad.... To worse?....

Why does it feel like my faith is constantly being tested?...

Why does nothing going on make sense to me... Did I miss something?

Why is it that the more I pick myself up, the more I feel like I'm gonna Buckle once more?...

Why are the people who you least expect to hurt you, the ones who seem to do it the best?...

Why do people let past situations which have no relevance to today dwell in it?...

Why is it that when I take 1 step forward, It feels like soon after I take 2 steps back?...

Why does it seem like people are so quick to pass judgment over someone else?

Why do I have such difficulty finding people who are TRUE friends?

Why is it that we go through sooo much pain for a moment of happiness?...
& Why do we need to struggle before something good happens?.... Every time!!!?

Why does it feel like God's late again?...

HERE.... Is why...
The reason why it feels like things happen when they're just getting great, is because the enemy roams this earth trying to get some last minute discouragement in... He's not going to be around forever, and we are what is most important to God, and the enemy knows that the only way to attempt to get to God is in fact through us... Granted, we are all given the freedom to choose to believe God is good, it is the enemy who tries to sway our minds otherwise... What better way to do that then to pull the rug out from under you and kick you when you're down...
The reason your faith feels like it's always being tested is simple... Because it is... God is always trying to get us to where we need to be by passing us through levels in a sense... If in fact we were content and just settled in life, then we would never have the opportunity to grow.
Nothing makes sense to you, because it's not supposed to... Imagine if we knew every move we were going to make... If every plan we made had follow and went according to planned.... Sounds like a good thing. But think about it... would that not take the excitement out of never knowing what was going to happen next?... If life were that predictable, then we wouldn't be living at all, but rather just going through the motions.
The more you feel like the world is coming down on you, the more good you're trying to be kept from doing... when life falls apart, and things seem to lose reason, it's the perfect opportunity to stop trying, because it may be easier that way... But the truth is, you should thank God in times of trouble, because it only means that once you get through this storm, the sun will shine brighter than ever before upon your life... Keep going, and trust that it can't rain forever! Trust me, there is something great in store for you...
The pain that comes from people you never thought would hurt you, is no more than a hurt that comes from someone else... It's not what was said or done, but where it came from and who said/did it... and the reason why it hurts so badly is because you never see it coming from someone you care for, Because you trust them not to hurt you. It's one of the worst pains ever when someone you care for hurts you, because it isn't forgotten easily. But trust me, if you can get through it, you will both be stronger people because of it.
Sometimes it's just hard for people to move on once they have been hurt. Sometimes it's really a rough thing to cope with, and in turn everyone else after that is due to pay for the mistakes of another... help them to understand that unless they learn to forgive and empty themselves of any bitter feelings, they can never fully move on, and it will constantly cause problems along the line.
When you feel like you're taking 1 step forward and 2steps back, is cause there will always be one thing after another... it sucks to say, but it's true. Anytime things take a turn for the better, shortly after something happens that makes you say, "What now?" But if you get the right mind set to deal with it, just prep yourself for it... There is always going to be people and circumstance that makes us feel like giving up, or not trying anymore... But if you get keep the right attitude about things, the enemy who is trying to discourage you will stop trying, and leave you alone... The bible says "Resist the devil, and he WILL flee from you..." It's that hard, but can be just that simple if you believe....
People are so quick to pass judgment, because of fear of the unknown. People reject the unfamiliar, and it's just easier to pass judgment than to actually deal with something. It is written, judge not, or you too shall be judged. Who are you to point out the speck in someone elses eye, before you remove the speck from your own?.... Do not pass judgment before getting to know someone for who they are... They might turn out to be the best person you've ever known.... Once you Get to know them of course. ;)
The reason why it's so difficult to find a true friend is because of something that may have happened that makes you that much more skeptical to who you let in... However, sometimes if get so wrapped up in looking for the bad in people, then we fail to see their good! .... There's a fine line between cautious, and just reluctant to even try... Be aware, but give in a little sometimes... It might just be the best thing for ya!
Sometimes we need to experience something immensely difficult to learn something. If you take things for granted, chances are something will be taken from you so that you learn to appreciate what was given to you. Life is difficult, and there are so many lessons to take from it. We as people are constantly growing. We get so caught up in life, that we sometimes forget to just live!. When we stop and take a look from the outside in, we might just see something from a different angle!.... Besides, if things were just given to us, then we would have no idea just how great it feels on the other side of the bad stuff!... It's like a paycheck... even though it doesn't last forever, you know that you worked for that paper, and that you earned it!... Life it like that... It's never a smooth ride, and rarely easy, but the reward when you overcome obstacles is sweet!
In conclusion, it feels like God is late again because to you, he is. However! .... We so often forget that God doesn't run on our time, But rather his own. if he did things at our convenience, then everything would be perfect, and we would never need God.... Imagine that..

These are just a few of the questions that I asked myself over the past 2 years, and I would have given just about anything to have someone answer them. I didn't.... I had to live through it, and find the answers on my own... Therefore, I thought I should share them... It's good to live and experience things for ourselves, but at the same time every now and then we come across someone who already has... Take heed of what is said. You may not have to repeat someone elses mistakes. So even though the road is a long one, and you feel like you're on your own, Hang on a little longer, it can't be cloudy forever, and the sun may be hidden at night, but it's faithful enough to rise again every morning.... Stay in faith, and your faith alone will see you through... Take it from someone who knows...


God Bless,
