Who is God? Why do you believe in something or someone you can not even see? He isnt real. If God is soo good then why do bad things happen to good people? If He were really real then why did He take (name here) away from me? Your God is a joke. And praying? Please. Id rather not waste my time praying to someone that isnt even real or near to hear me. You have to earn my trust, how can God earn my trust? I just can not see why you have dedicated yourself to someone you can not even see. Its pathetic really. These are just a few questions that arose in a conversation I had with a young lady recently. It really bothered me because she used to believe in God and have that relationship. Something has driven her away and it just breaks my heart. I was her recently, maybe not with those same questions but I allowed worldly things to slowly deconstruct my relationship with my Lord. By the time I graduated high school, one could not even tell I was a Christian. I had lost sight of Him because I became more indulgent in the things around me like friendships, fitting in, finding myself, trying to please everyone else around me, and school. I overloaded myself with everything else that eventually I just decided that I did not have time for God. But the truth remains that I am glad the way things happened because the times I went without my God, only make the times I share now so much better. I appreciate Him more now though because I know what my days could be like without Him. My heart and prayers go out to her. I pray that whatever this world is doing to break her down is utterly destroyed and that God radiates all around her and shows her the many blessings she has. I pray for her family and friends to help her through this. And I pray that the next I see her, that our conversation could be a little more uplifting. I dont know if my answers to her questions and comments influenced her any differently but I pray they have. Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks. By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. ~Hebrews 11:1-40~ Things will not always go our way. We will be sad some days and happy others. Love from God is a beautiful thing and it is eternal. Why would someone give that up? God has a plan for each and everyone of us. We need to learn patience and watch what unfolds in our lives. Trust me, my Gods got this! But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. ~2 Corinthians 12:9~
