Storms of Life

Have you ever wondered why me, why have I had to go through all of these difficulties, situations, trials in my life.  I went to a school most of my life, where the students probably wondered that.  Their may have been times in their life when someone might have come up to them and said well God loves you.  He created you this way for a purpose.  Their response was probably why would your loving and caring God, create me this way if He truly loved me.  I also knew some that where angry and bitter, maybe not at God, but just because of what they where going through, and dealing with in their lives.  Did I get frustrated with some of the situations and difficulties that I had, and sometimes still have to go through yes I do, and I am a pastor.  But thankfully my parent's taught me and showed me in God's word that these things work together for Good.  These reasons may not always be able to be answered of why, but it says in Romans 8:28, And We Know That God Causes All Things To Work Together For The Good of Those Who Love Him, and Are called according to his Purpose.  For those of us that have that relationship with God, when He brings the trials to us in our lives.  Lets not try to figure out why but lets trust in him and know that when we put our trust in him he will bring us through the storm.  Just like when the disciples where on the boat, and the winds and the waves battered the boat.  The disciples cried out Jesus help, and what did he do he was sleeping, but he woke up and said peace be still and the wind and waves where calm.  For those that read this, and may wonder why me, I don't love God, but I am still going through all of these trials, but He loves you regardless of what you think about him.  He loves you so much that He sent his son to die on the cross for your sins.  He wants you to run to him, and ask him for Help, and know that He has a plan and a purpose for your life.  Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, Plans to prosper you and not to Harm you to give you a hope and a future.  God Loves you and so do I.
