If you are like me, then you have probably asked God, "What is going on? Why is all of this happening to me?" And most likely you have asked God than once.
The truth is, God loves you so much. He really, truly, and genuinely wants only the very best for you and He has an amazing plan for your life.
Suffering is inevitable for the believer.
We will all experience hardships. Trials and tribulations. Storms. Sadness. Heartache and pain. Loss. Jesus tells us in John 16:33;
"I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. You will have suffering in this world."
But He follows by encouraging our hearts to, "be courageous! I have conquered the world." How amazing is that? If we are in Jesus Christ then we can rest in knowing that everything will work out. God's got us! Remember, that although life is not always fair, God is always just.
Have faith and trust that even in the most painful of circumstances, God can and will turn it around for our good and for the good of those around us.
