Why? Oh Why?

It’s been so long since I updated this, I know it is God’s to let me share my thoughts to you. Well today I’m sharing something that really means a lot to me. I’m inspired not because there is something exciting happened but because God’s LOVE FOR ME NEVER FAILS.

It seems like I am inside a whirling tornado last week. I can’t focus on my exams because my dad is always yelling at me. I know what I did is wrong but his words are like sharp knives that leaves marks inside my heart plus I’m too agitated because I know that the exam’s coverage is hard. I tried my best to answer it but this week all bubble cards was returned. I’m so disappointed to myself after I received the results this week. While looking at my bubble cards I asked God why WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME? I’m working so hard just to get high grades but it seems like there is something wrong with me. Something that I couldn’t explain but it is really really bad. I’m very frustrated and I’m on the edge of my desperations. I’m still on my dad’s hot seats, my personal problems plus my school problems. I know I study all day, I answered the examination with my own knowledge, I compiled my reviewers very well and I also avoided those things which can disturb me. I asked God to please tell me where did I go wrong or probably where do I lack so that I could give time to it.  I am so sad because I did my best but I guess it’s not enough… Then this bible verses came to me:

Jeremiah 29:11

King James Version (KJV)

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

            All of a sudden I remember that God told us that he has plans for us. He does not want to put us in danger, harm and sadness but he wants to proper, give hope and future to us. Do you want to know why? I think this bible verse can answer that.

John 3:16

King James Version (KJV)

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

            It obviously declares in the passage how God loves us. So why do you think God let this things to happen to us. If he really love us then why? Well try to read this bible verse. It might also help you just how it helped me.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-15

King James Version (KJV)

3 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?

10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.

13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.

14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

            So that is the reason why sometimes we experience turmoil into our lives. Some things are really meant to happen to make us stronger than yesterday. We people tend to ignore God whenever we have everything or when life seems perfect. Through our problems, our relationship with God becomes stronger, better and lovelier because it helps us to cling on Him more. But that doesn’t mean that we should only talk to Him whenever we have problems. We must include Him during our happiness and sadness. Do you know that God is happy whenever you are happy? Do you know that it hurts Him more whenever He see you crying? Imagine a weeping parent watching his/her child inside the ICU battling for his life. Can you get it? You know God does not want us to feel bad or uncomfortable it just happens because we are not in the perfect world, we are not yet with Him. Perfect life will only happen when are living with Him in heaven where sins, sadness and anger does not exist BUT ONLY LOVE.

            While we are still living in this imperfect world let us pursue to do good for God. Let us equate His unfailing love to us by sharing His word and following Him with all our heart, mind, soul, and body. As I close this article I want you to take time to thank God for everything even though your world seems falling apart because everything happens for a reason. Just wait for greater things, God has plan for you even you’re not yet borned. Thank you for reading! I hope that somehow I help you. God bless!
