THOUGH YOUR LIFE IS A MESS NOW,
TEST AFTER TEST THAT MAKES YOU TIRED,
TRIALS THAT MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE GIVING UP,
TOO MAD AT THOSE WHO MADE YOU A VICTIM,
WHERE IS JUSTICE?
WHERE IS GOD?

YOU ARE NOT ALONE THROUGH EVERYTHING IN LIFE.
YOU WERE NOT EXPERIENCING THINGS BY COINCIDENCE,
THEY HAVE A PURPOSE, A REASON, A LESSON, A PROMISE TO KEEP.

THERE IS HOPE FOR A BETTER TOMORROW,
THERE IS FAITH TO GIVES YOU STRENGTH,
THERE IS LOVE TO EMPOWERED YOU.

KEEP ON FIGHTING UNTIL YOU REACH YOUR VICTORY!

"Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him."
James 1:12

"Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us."
Romans 5:2-5

"I can do all things through him who strengthens me."

Where is God?!?!

Have you ever wondered why bad things happen to you, or people that you considered "GOOD" people, who does not deserve the bad things?

                                                            (via)

So many times, I have asked the very same question based on my own experiences, other people that I know, news or just everyday reality in front of my very own eyes. The reality of our world is that "Life is NOT fair."  


There are things that we can avoid and there are some things that just happened, unavoidable. There are things that we could solve right away and there are things that takes a long time. Everyone has different opinions, struggles and problems. Everyone has their own strength and weakness. What I consider easy might be very hard for others and vice versa. We can't control everything and everyone. We can't measure one faith to the others and we can't please/help everyone as well. Accept the fact that everyone is different and you don't have to know all the answer.


I don't have the answer of why certain things happened to certain people. I don't know how certain people can survive after that horrible tragedy as much as I could never understand why certain people complaining and whining about the silliest thing on earth. But, I come to accept that I don't know everything and I will never understand everything either. Then I come to realize that I am not in control of everything, including my own life. Yes, I could control a lot of things in my life, but I do not know what will happen tomorrow or when and how would I die someday. This is when I go back to my first option, GOD! 


When you are at your point in life when you feel like you need help and you found out that human will never be able to help you, then give God a chance. He is able!


Where is God when good things happen? He is right there with you! Where is God when the bad things happen? He is right there with you!


Why didn't He do anything to prevent bad things to happen? I do not have all the answers. Some mistake caused by us, some caused by others, some is just a never ending WHY?! Because we are human, we have limitation. 


If you think you don't need God because you know everything about your life and have control over your life, THINK AGAIN!. We do not even know what will happen the next second, we do not even know what our kids would look like, who would be your spouse, how you could get that job, how we are save from certain accidents, where we would be 2 years from now, how or when we would die, what would be the next trending in twitter, and the list continue to a never ending questions of "WHAT, WHY, WHERE AND HOW?".


Have faith, hope and strength in God and in Him alone!. Human will disappoint us, human will fail us, human means yourself as well. But, God will help you through everything in life, bad or good things. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. 


I know many of you laugh and think that God is not real. If He is real then He should do this and that for us. We think that God suppose to serve us and gives us everything that we WANT and when things does not go the way we wanted, we get mad, sad and blaming God.

                                                           (via) Romans 5:1-5

Give Him a chance, 

If you don't like HIM, 

then at least you already gave Him a chance right?! ;)
