For His Glory

Today, I’m scattered.

Is it God’s fault?

NO! God is good all the time, regardless of any situation, or event.

He never promised us days without pain, but rather Jesus told us, in this life we would have tribulation, and he insured us that we would over come it, why, and how, because he himself overcame it and we are to over come it with him.

What if we are blaming him, and what if circumstances make us not want to cling to him?

What if we are blaming ourselves and others?

Its normal, to blame people when things go wrong.

But to cling to the unchanging hand of the Jesus is exactly what the enemy doesn’t want us to do.

Many circumstances and situations can evoke feelings of animosity, confusion, anger, rage, and questioning. We are human, in our human form and in this life, we so often ask “WHY?”

Truth is there often, isn’t any why, even if you can go back to point / ground zero, there often is no set or specific reason why things had to have happened and why they happened. Many events can cause certain circumstances to happen, by why those events unfolded the way that they did, who knows..

Gods word says it rains on the just and on the unjust, meaning good things happen to bad people, and good things happen to good people, and vise versa, bad things happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people.

Matthew 5:43-45

⁴³ Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. ⁴⁴ But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; ⁴⁵ That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

Ecclesiastes 9:2

“All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.

As individuals and whole’s, we have to hold on. We just have to hold on until this storm passes by. WE have to hold on until that temporary completeness comes. And I say temporary, because in this life nothing is permanent except love, and that love is in Christ. I can say I love you and mean it, but to love you like Jesus, is a how I want to love you all, with that forgiving heart, and that compassion. Even as a child of God I struggle with forgiveness. I can forgive, but the memory is still there, and it hurts. To forgive like Christ is to forget like he does when he cast our sins into the sea of forgetfulness, never to be brought up again. I myself am not superhuman and I don’t have that ability, because even if I do forgive, in this human state of mind, I’ll remember, I’ll remember even if I don’t bring it up to you again.

I hurt a lot anymore, and I question why so much. In my flesh dwelleth no good thing. And I’m learning Godliness with contentment is great gain, only I’m not content, I’m making myself to be content every day, and learning daily to make my flesh be content even if it is all over the place.

I’m facing a major surgery in the future, one I didn’t want to have. I trust God but I also question God Why!.

Circumstances surrounding my life have me questioning why and when God. But I’m still trusting and I’m still praying.

Life is good, Life is loud, life is miserable, life is great, life is contentment, life is life, and life is scattered.

I love you all, & Jesus loves you Most!
