Making Sense of The Bad And The Good Things In LIfe!

The past three months have been rough on a lot of people around here.  There have been unexpected deaths of some really good people.  It seems it never ends.  I thought this month would be better but we got some bad news of a family member the other day.  A stroke and then through some tests run they found cancer.  It just continues to come and we as humans have no way to stop it, it's the natural process of life.  As many are born, others are leaving through death.  It's a process God has watched over and over and it will continue as life is lived upon this Earth.

I saw God's great strength today and it turned me around and showed me what his power and love can do.  God heals in so many ways, we are often blinded by Satan because he doesn't want us to see how great our God is.

I love listening to children talk because they speak a   totally different language than we do as adults.  They live in a way where nothing matters,  but happiness.  They have no worries and they never understand when they see an adult cry. Their question is always, " Why are you crying?"  It seems an odd thing to them that somebody would ever cry.  Even though every child spends the first five years of life crying about something, you wouldn't think they would think it strange.  I believe God asks the same question to us, "Why are you crying?"  I am here!

Emotions are a strong sense we have.  Emotions make us act in various ways in many different situations in life.  Anger, hate, sadness, loss, happiness are all different ways we react through emotions.  If we could truly grasp God's love, mercy, hope and grace here on Earth we would never feel any sort of loss.  Something or someone keeps us from being complete in God.  We truly will never get the complete package of God and his greatness.  Satan is constantly pulling us from him and keeps us from screaming in total great joy for our God.  We will never get over a great loss of  losing a loved one, we know that one day we will be reunited with them all one day, but Satan makes us  truly not believe that or come to complete understanding of it.   We Christians are the offense and Satan is the defense that keeps us from scoring the game winning touchdown.  We just can't do it!  Satan keeps us busy in our lives with worries and other activities and keeps us from being completely devoted to our creator. 

So years ago God decided to send us his son to get us to that end zone and score that game winning touchdown, every day.  No matter what happens we our redeemed from our sins and able to have the help we need to survive a loss of a loved one.  Humans were made in the image of God, we continually light the world and break the darkness of this place.  We need to know and understand that whatever happens good or bad in this life that there is help right next to us.  God is in our hearts if we let him in.  No matter how dark Satan makes this world God is continually reinventing us and making our light brighter and brighter.  Soon our light will be so bright that Satan will run out of darkness and we will make the world a better place.  We just need to be in him because he is in us, and he is constantly brightening our world every day. 

I am here! Come to me! Listen to him and make life better and more enjoyable.
