Life Experiences

 

    God is everything that is good and right in this world.  When life happens or something horrible it is not God's fault.  He made everything perfect.  It is people that allowed sin in the world.  Satan tempts, but he never forced people to do evil.  We do that naturally.  Our actions have consequences: death, cursed earth, and evil in the world.

    God still loves us no matter how much evil we may have in our hearts.  He sacrificed His son to display the extent of His love.  He cares when you are humiliated, heart broken, or overwhelmed with life.  He may allow people to be destructive, but it does not mean that He doesn't care.  He is pursuing everyone.  He knows how empty people are without Him.  He wants to fulfill us all.

    When your life is empty, turn to God.  He can be trusted.  Your spirit will no longer go hungry.  You can find peace in all circumstances.  He can heal emotional scars that come with life.  He will open your eyes to the truth and show you how to use it all to serve Him and the church.  He loves you and wants the best for you, but He will also use your sin to serve a purpose.  

    There are all sorts of life experiences: religious, work, home, social, and more.  Each person's life is different.  We are all driven by different things in life.  Some experiences cause pain, but others cause happiness and excitement.  Life will never be all good or bad.  We all lose loved ones.  Some people experience abuse, rumors, lies about them, addictions, rejection, persecution, or embarrassment.  

    Our lifestyles have a big impact on our life experiences.  If you want change, then you have to start living the change you want.  Spent time in God's Word.  Put in the work to change the aspects of your life you do not like.  Pray over your experiences and open your heart for God to use them.  It is not the end.  Today is the beginning of what can be.  You can start today to make small steps toward the life you want.
