Life isn't always fair.
This is something I've learned time and time again.
Is it fair my mom died at 32 and left behind a husband and 3 children who needed her? Is it fair that little boys, girls, grown men and women are abused verbally, sexually, emotionally? Is it fair men and women are diagnosed with cancer on a daily basis? Is it fair families are uprooted because of a loss of work, or divorce or some catastrophe? No....it's not - but God never promised us that life would be fair.
But what God did promise us is that He would give us everything we need to live a great life. It comes to us through personal knowledge of Jesus Christ. We have the ability to open up the Bible, read it and apply it to our lives - which allows us to grow in God and in our lives.
I have some carnal wants/desires. I do. I want to marry again. I want to enjoy life with my best friend. Waking up together, ending the day together, laughing and sharing life's moments together. I want to watch my children grow up and make wise choices, to see them know what it's like to be loved so much that they'll never doubt or question their value and worth. I want to see them follow God and apply the scriptures to their lives. I want to see my grandson grow up to be healthy and happy and have a love for God. I want to know my family is saved.
I want to wake up each morning knowing beyond a shadow of any doubt that I am loved by the man I love, my children, my grandson, and my friends and family....
But what if that doesn't happen?
Because I have the Word of God...because I have the love of God in my heart - I can rest assured that no matter what...I am loved. I have a promise of eternal life through Jesus. I have a promise of seeing my christian mother and father in heaven again one day.... I have a reason to live. I have a reason to tell people about God's mercy and grace.
I know there are many of us who have been hurt in unthinkable measures - and I am so sorry for your hurts, pains, fears. I'm so sorry that someone chose to hurt you. But let me tell you there is a God who loves you beyond your comprehension. He wants to replace your hurt with a peace and joy that only He can give. He desires to know you and I promise you...He'll never leave you, never forsake you. He loves you with an unconditional everlasting love.
I hold this promise close to my heart and although I face fears, doubts and trying situations at times...I know I'm never alone. He's right there with me - All I have to do is mention his name...Jesus.
