Please read this, touched
me so I wanted to
share...
God is good, why do I
hurt so bad? Though the circumstances have changed, the questions
haven't. They are asked anytime the faithful suffer the
consequences of the faithless. Anytime a person takes a step in the
right direction, only to have her feet knocked out from under her,
anytime a person does a good deed but suffers evil results, anytime
a person takes a stand, only to end up on his
face...
the questions fall
like rain.
"Is God really there, why am I here?"
"What did I do to deserve this?"
"Why are the righteous persecuted?"
Does God sometimes sit on His hands? Does God sometimes choose to
do nothing? Does God sometimes opt for silence even when I'm
screaming my loudest?
Romans
5:1-8
1:
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have
peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
2: through whom we have gained
access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we
rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
3: Not only so, but we also
rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering
produces perseverance; 4:
perseverance, character; and character, hope.
5: And hope does not disappoint
us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the
Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. 6: You see, at just the right
time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
7: Very rarely will anyone die
for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly
dare to die. 8: But God
demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still
sinners, Christ died for us.
