Asking Why?


There are many Christians who have wondered why. Why was suffering or pain allowed to enter their lives. Some may have even asked God 'why'. I know I am one of those Christians.

Have you ever wondered why we go through the things we do?


God said:

If you never felt pain, then how would you know that I'm a Healer?
If you never went through difficulties, how would you know that I'm a Deliverer?
If you never had a trial, how could you call yourself an over comer?
If you never felt sadness, how would you know that I'm a Comforter?
If you never made a mistake, how would you know that I'm forgiving?
If you knew all, how would you know that I will answer your questions?
If you never were in trouble, how would you know that I will come to your rescue?
If you never were broken, then how would know that I can make you whole?
If you never had a problem, how would you know that I can solve them?
If you never had any suffering, then how would you know what Jesus went through?
If you never went through the fire, then how would you become pure?
If I gave you all things, how would you appreciate them?
If I never corrected you, how would you know that I love you?
If you had all power, then how would you learn to depend on me?
If your life was perfect, then what would you need Me for?
Thank you, God!





I truly believe that it is not until we know God as Comforter or Healer that we can began to reach out to others and offer them hope in their suffering and pain.

Eternal Life in Christ

  Scripture: 1 John 5:12 (NIV) "Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life." In this concise yet profound verse, the Apostle John encapsulates the essence of the Christian faith. He presents a binary reality that revolves around a pivotal relationship—with or without the Son of God. Having the Son Means Having Life To "have the Son" is more than a mere acknowledgment of His existence; it is an intimate, personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This relationship is transformative, for in Him, we discover the source and essence of life. It's not just about an earthly existence but an eternal life that transcends the temporal. Eternal life in Christ is not a distant promise; it is a present reality. It begins the moment we invite Jesus into our hearts, acknowledging Him as our Lord and Savior. This life is marked by a deep sense of purpose, joy, and an unshakable hope that extends beyond the confines of this world. Lifeles...

God's Love For His Children

You discern my going out and my lying down;  you are familiar with all my ways.~Psalm 139:3 Just as much as our Father knows us, He wants us to begin to know Him, to become familiar with all His ways. He desires intimacy with His children. He sees us for who we really are, yet He loves us. He wants us to see Him for who He really is, and to allow Him to father us perfectly. Jesus and the Father shared in this type of intimacy. In John 17:10, Jesus prayed these words to His Father, All I have is yours and all you have is mine. Theirs was an interaction of hearts that was completely given to each other without reserve. PRAYER Father I thank You for being familiar with all my ways. I believe that You intimately understand everything about me, yet You still love me unconditionally. Today I want to begin to lower my own defenses and lay down my pre-conceived ideas of who you are. I want to know You Father. I want to begin to see into Your heart and to become familiar with...
