Have you ever tried losing your faith because something bad happened to you? Or do you sometimes ask God why did He let you suffer from things that caused you pain.
Sometimes, in life, there are things that's out of God's hand. I watched one movie, and the story was about forgiveness and being able to entrust his faith to God. His family is very closed to God, his wife even called God as Papa,as well as, his 3 lovely children. One afternoon, he and his children went out in the lake to have fishing, his youngest child was in the table asking questions about God, and 2 of his children (girl and boy) were in the lake kayaking. It was all good when suddenly, he saw his 2 children falling in the boat and his son was drowning. He immediately rushed towards them and saved his son. He felt relieved and when he came back to his youngest child (girl), she was nowhere to be found. They searched all over the woods but her daughter was still out of their sight. Until one day, police came and told him that maybe found the whereabouts nof their daughter. He was very scared for he know what happened to her. They only found the red dress she wore the last time she had seen her and it was covered with blood. Her youngest baby was abducted. He questioned God and blamed him for what happened. If you were him, will you blame God for your daughter's death? In the end of the movie, he was been able to forgive the man who abducted his child with the help of God.
If you're in his situation, will you be able to forgive the man who killed your child?
Forgiveness is a choice. It not base on emotions, but it is a choice you have to make. Forgiving someone is a very hard decision, especially if that person causes you a lot of pain. God said, love your enemies, but how can you love them, if in the first place, they are your enemies? The answer easy, but it is hard to do. Forgive them. FORGIVENESS.
"How can I forgive O dear Lord?"
Forgiveness is a choice and not an emotion. When you choose to forgive, your emotions will follow. That's the answer.
Does God let those bad things happen to me?
No, evil exist. Evil made those bad things, not God. Those bad things are the things that hurt Him the most ,and some things are not in His control especially if it hurts Him the most. You easily judge God when there are things that you don't like. I judge when there are things I don't like. We judge to the things that we don't like because we are humans. We are sinners, we always sin, but God always forgives. HE FORGIVES because HE LOVES US.
If ever you read this article, please know that God never abandons His children. He is just waiting for you to come HOME.
