Please read this, touched me so I wanted to share...
God is good, why do I hurt so bad? Though the circumstances have changed, the questions haven't. They are asked anytime the faithful suffer the consequences of the faithless. Anytime a person takes a step in the right direction, only to have her feet knocked out from under her, anytime a person does a good deed but suffers evil results, anytime a person takes a stand, only to end up on his face...
the questions fall like rain.
"Is God really there, why am I here?"
"What did I do to deserve this?"
"Why are the righteous persecuted?"
Does God sometimes sit on His hands? Does God sometimes choose to do nothing? Does God sometimes opt for silence even when I'm screaming my loudest?
Romans 5:1-8
1: Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2: through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3: Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4: perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5: And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. 6: You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7: Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. 8: But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
