Bad Things..Bad Things..Go Away!?!


Many times we only appreciate the good things and cursed the bad things because it is bad anyway and therefore we do not want anything to do with it.

It is true that nobody wants a bad news, experience or life, but the truth is the bad things that God allowed to happened in our lives are great tools for us to learn.

Many times, bad things happened because we chose a bad decision anyway, but there are many times as well when we tried our best to be a great person, do the right things and bad things still happened to us. Meanwhile, there are a lot of people that we personally know, and many strangers as well, who lives their lives "not as good" as we think what "good" is anyway, and they have all the "luck" in the world.

Why do bad things happened to good people, right?
But then again, what is and who is the good people?
What is our standard of goodness in a person's life?
What's good for us might be bad for others and what's bad for us might not be as bad as we thought for other people's standard.

At the end of the day,
It will always comes back to yourself,
as a person.

It is easier to point finger at others than to take a closer look at ourselves!

You know what..,
If God allowed bad things to happened in your life,
It simply means that you are a strong person, He knows you can handle it!

When I feel overwhelmed with life's struggles and problems,
I told God that I have learned my lesson and that I am not that strong, I need Him to help me and strengthened me because I cannot take it anymore.

Admitting that we have a problem is a first step,
Asking for help and actually doing something to change the "bad" circumstances is step number two,
Surrender to God, after doing your part and hope for the best to take place is the last thing that we could do as a human being.

There are things that is just beyond our control and understanding,
Sometimes we just need to let it go and stop over-analyzing them.

We all have our limit when it comes to strength and weaknesses.
We all have our own ways to cope with problems in life,
We all have our own escape.
Just make sure that the escape is not worst than the actual problem,
because if we picked the right escape route, then we will find freedom.
If we make a wrong escape route, we will add more problems to the existing ones,
we create more stressed in our life.

Sometimes what seemed to be the best escape plan is not the best after all, even though it offers you the quickest way to find a temporary way out.
You can have fun or "forget" your problems in a certain amount of time,
But when you wake up,
Your problems are still there and because you chose the wrong/temporary escape plan,
You ended up with more problems in your life.

Why do bad things happened in our life (my own version lol) :
- Our own choice that leads us there
- Other people's decision that affected us
- Sin and Temptation
- There is a great lesson that we will learn and will benefits our future and others
- To show God's greatness in the middle of our weakness
- To see/understand that we are stronger than we thought
-For us to appreciate the good things, even the little things in life, because we never know how good things are until bad things happened to us
- It's just part of life, good and bad exists

Solution:
- We live, experience, learn, move on!
- We live, experience, learn and help others who might benefits from our own experience
- We live and we survive
- Do not compare your struggles with other people's victory

Psalm 23
via

You are not the only one with problems,
You are not alone,
You will be fine,
You are stronger,
Keep your head up and keep on going!

Fight,
Defeat the enemy,
Victory is yours!
:)

Bad things will happen, whether we like it or not.
It's a part of life!
Don't ask for bad things to never happened in life because you will be disappointed,
Ask for wisdom, courage and strength to face it.
Don't ask for bad things to go away when you are the one who made it happened in the first place,
face it and solve it like a responsible human being.
Don't play the blame game, it will never solve anything.
Running away is an act of a coward, face it like a warrior, and you will  not get haunted with your own problems.
Just do you part,
always let God involved!
