“God loves you,
God cares for you, God hears you,…”
Those are things that we often hear from people
around us especially when they are expressing sympathy towards our
nothing-they-can-do-to-help sad lives. There is always only one thing remains
unanswered in our minds; “If God blablabla us, WHY are we stuck in this
depressing situation at the first place?”
The truth is God always long to spend time with
us. At times of overflowing blessings, when life seems to be too good to be
true, you and I sometimes forget Him. Think back, when do we fall on our knees
and pray? When do we recognize His presence in our worship? Yes, during times
of need. God lets us experience downfalls to draw us near to Him.
“But I never miss out on giving thanks to Him,
never for once I forget to offer and tithe, never will I forget Him after all
those blessings. WHY do I still have to face lost of loved ones, rejection,
failures,…?”
Now you must be thinking that I have prepared
an awesome answer to that question, but I don’t cause it never got answered.
How do I then remain a believer in the God who
can’t answer that life mystery?
The
bible tells me that Jesus is Immanuel, God is with us. I might not know why
things happen in my life, but I know never will He leave or forsake me in those
times. The bible also tells me that He went through all our sufferings just to
understand our pain. As we go through hardships, He is there with us, weeps and
suffers with us. Now if there is someone who would ask the question, WHY, it
would be Jesus asking, “WHY is He there with us?” I guess we all know the
answer, “because He loves us..”
