There is only one thing in this world that we need to understand - every thing we do in life has consequences and those consequences requires great responsibilities –
but we need to accept
their consequences. We need to learn to face it and take control of it. When we face trouble in life we become upset, feeling lost, miserable for what we have done wrong but no one to blame but our selves.
Sometimes we question God
“Why did God structure life this way?” full of sorrows, full of anxiety and trials – when God could have created life so that suffering would be impossible. If so, we would be in a world now with no pain, knowing only grace and peace.
So why didn’t He?
My answer is I don’t know.
But I do know that at the heart of His earthly creation is the freedom to make choices. So in the sense we can’t have it both ways – the freedom to choose and no hurt resulting from our choices. The freedom gives us space, in which we make choices but with that comes consequences.
No body is perfect as we were born a sinner and making mistakes is just simply a big part of our making. The best gift in a life is the freedom that we have in it to be who we want to be and to have a life of our choosing. Again such great rewards with it comes great responsibilities.
But we must learn to look at ourselves in a greater image that although we make mistakes, we can also take mistakes and learn from it. Falling is part of life and it is what we do after we have fallen is what makes one a better person - we have to look with better eyes to face our mistakes and determine the value of lesson it carries.
Sadly, many of our poor choices hurt us most, and hurt others too. We see the devastating result and we sometimes blame God more for what we’ve done wrong.
What are we going to do when things get so complicated? When things are all messed up? What are we going to do when we totally self-destruct and fails?
Are we just going to sit in one corner and do nothing? Feeling hopeless? Blaming God with all the wrong things that we selfishly created?
- No! of course not!
We need to move on and start fixing our messes and develop a new life with new hope. We cannot live all the time with repeating the same mistakes, and living the same scenario. Life is not all about pain and sufferings but also about love, joy and grace.
It is the unchangeable purpose of God to exalt those who are willing to submit, and God is abundantly able to accomplish it in love to those one who in trouble. And God is waiting for us to say, “Lord, I am tired, I can’t carry this burden anymore.” God is willing to take that pain, the burden we carry for so long – all we need to do is let it go – and put your trust in the Lord that He will give you a new spirit and new life that will bring glory to you and to God - as we move on, we give God the will to reconstruct our lives.
"Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasure, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pain: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world." - C.S. Lewis
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." - Jesus Christ, John 14:27
