| Our little nativity set (Precious Moments) |
A friend of mine was going through a series of disappointments and
setbacks. It seemed one thing after another went wrong in her life. She said to
me, “I am questioning God. Why is He letting these things happen to me? Doesn’t
He care about me?”
Her reaction is
understandable. In the midst of personal setbacks, tragedies, and hardships,
many people blame God for the situation and question His love. Yet, we cannot
ascribe the distress and disasters of this fallen world to a lack of God’s
love. We live in a time of His permissive will, and the
foolishness of man abounds in this sin-sick world. No one is spared misfortune.
But take heart.
God’s love has already been proven for God so loved the world that He gave
His only begotten Son (John 3:16). God’s love was revealed through His mercy and grace
when He made a way for us as sinners, reconciling man to Himself through Jesus
Christ. God also gave the precious gift of the Holy Spirit to be our Comforter.
As followers of Christ, we can put our faith in the love of God and hope in the
promise of eternal life when we shall live and reign with Him forever. So
today, trust in His love and goodness, no matter the circumstances.
Nay, in all
these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Romans 8:37
When facing
difficult circumstances, meditate on how God demonstrated His love to the world
and to you personally in countless ways. Remember that your life is in His
hands and God’s purposes will be fulfilled.
And we know
that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are
the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
