One of the most common phrases people say to one another would have to be
“things happen for a reason.
You broke up with your boyfriend or girlfriend. It happened for a reason.
A loved one passed away, it happened for a reason. You didn’t get the job
that you wanted, it happened for a reason. Usually the most common
emotion people feel when they hear that phrase is anger Usually . when
something happens you, you want people feel for you and tell you that
everything is going to be ok. Somehow saying things happen for a reason
seems to be a stiff slap to your face. I used to be one of those people.
I couldn’t stand it when people said that to me. On top of that I would
search relentlessly to find a way to make that situation that wasn’t
meant to be work. And in the process found myself more upset than I was
when it first happened.
We are not suppose to understand things sometimes. As much as we want to,
we just can’t assume that everything we want in life we are going to get.
And though the answers may not come flowing in right off, I assure you
that the answer will come. Now the key is will you let the answer come?
One of the hardest things for people to do is to trust God. Why is that?
We trust ourselves with so many other things why is it so hard to trust
God. Some say it’s hard to trust what you can’t see. Others say they have
and it hasn’t gotten them anywhere. There comes a point in every ones
life where the decision to trust God will present itself. Sometimes you
will know, and other times it may take a while. I encourage you to open
your heart to him. Understand and know that his purpose for you is one
that he specially made for you. I tell this to a lot of people and I am
sure some of you have heard me say this. I am not a fan of cheesy sayings
but I look at the value behind this one and while it’s a simple phrase to
remember, it holds a lot of weight. “Let Go and Let God” Just got to do
it. Please trust that if you let go and let him work within you, I assure
things will be more clear. And the next time someone tells you “things
happen for a reason” You can say God is in control with confidence.
I love all you guys and gals. Please if ever you need to talk about
something e-mail us. Take care and God Bless!
