Bible Question: Can anyone tell me why really bad things are allowed to happen to people who are following Christ. I was kicked out of my house and my parents have serious emotional problems and my step mom tried to commit sucide, why does all this happen? |
Bible Answer: Greetings p139girl, I used to always ask the same question. I discovered that God allows bad things to happen to help us to grow in character and strength. He also allows us to go through trials so that we can use the experience later in life. For example, I went through spouse abuse. Now that I look back I have discovered that if I had not gone through the experience I would of never been able to help other woman who were involved in the same situation. If I had never experienced it I would of never been able to understand how the woman felt. Another thing that I have learned is that it was at these times that I learned to lean on God and trust in Him. My relationship with Him grew powerfully. God is in control of all things and He will turn bad situations around and use them for the good - Look for His hand in the situation. It will be there somewhere. While you are going through these bad times stop for a minute and do these couple things: 1) Ask God what He would have you to learn from the situation. 2) Look for the good things in the situation. I have learned that there is ALWAYS a blessing in every situation. Count and list the blessings that you can find. 3) Ask Him for direction in how to respond to the situation around you. "He will never leave you or forsake you". And Remember, "Lean not to your own understanding but in all ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path". Turn to Him for the comfort you seek. I know that God will take the experience you will gain and use it to help someone else. You may be the only support another person has. God Bless you. prayon |
