DON'T BLAME GOD

DON'T BLAME GOD
Are you so focused on your own hurt, loss, suffering that you cannot see, believe in the goodness of God?

I know people who blame God for their problems. They blame Him for bad stuff in their lives. They don't understand that God did not intend for us to suffer, but since He gave us free will, and since Adam, and all others since him, chose to sin, then we suffer because of sin. God still has a perfect life planned for us, but we cannot experience it in this imperfect and sinful world. We can experience the power, grace, mercy, love and goodness of God in the midst of a wicked world. We enter into that life of confidence and inner peace when we trust God.

For Instance
If a child is trapped on the second floor of a burning building, and the only way to safety is to jump into the arms of a loving father, the child may not jump, because they don't believe the father or they fear the fall more than the fire. It is possible for a father to fail. But God will not fail. We can trust Him because He has never failed anyone. Still, people sometimes refuse because they don't trust God

Faith Is The Answer
It takes faith to trust God. It takes faith to believe that God can be trusted. No matter how much you have been hurt, you can choose to trust God. God provides faith, and then God honors faith when it is placed in Him. With God's call to come to Him, He also offers faith.

If your faith seems to be too weak to take hold of His offer, ask Him to help you in your unbelief.

Mark 9:23-24
(23) Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
(24) And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
