These past couple of weeks I have been asking myself a couple of questions. Pretty much I was wondering why God would want me to go through things that he doesn't approve of and he says so in his word. I have been discussing it with a friend of mine. I really haven't shared it with alot of people because ever since moving back home I have been going through a period in my life where I want to get to know me and who I am. I don't want other people's thoughts and beliefs to interfere with my time of questioning.
Last Night as I was laying in bed thinking of life and things i have been going through. I started to think about Jesus and his life. God sent Jesus to die on the cross but if you look before the he was on the cross. Did God have to send Jesus through all of that torture and pain? Jesus had to die in order for God's creation to be saved. Did it matter how he died? Could Jesus just have been beheaded? As i was thinking about Jeus and his journey to the cross I realized that Jesus really suffered alot and he didn't do anything to deserve it.
I have asked myself often why do I have this struggle in my life and all i want is for it to vanish cause i don't want to struggle with it anymore. I didn't do anything to deserve it. I didn't ask for you or bring it upon me. Its not I took a puff of a cigerette and now i am hooked or drank a beer and now i can't stop. Its not like that. I just lived my life and one day i started having feeling and thoughts about others.
We all have different journeys in life and we come into struggles that we bring upon ourself and struggles that we have no idea where they came from. As i have been looking at Jesus and his journey to the cross. It was a hard, painful, torturing journey that he didn't deserve but that journey was lead him to fullfill his purpose.
I want to encourage you to keep on fighting to follow Jesus and times will get rough and we have a painful and hard journey also but just like Jesus' journey, our journey will lead us to fulfill our purpose in life.
Keep your eyes on what lies ahead and know that with Christ we can do it.
