Disappointment
If 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 flat on his face... the questions fall like rain.
"If God is 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? If you've asked for a mate, but you are still sleeping alone.. if you've asked for a child, but you womb stays barren... if you've asked for healing, but are still hurting... don't think God isn't listening. He is. And he is answering requests you are not even making.
There are many times in everyone's life that they feel was unfair, even though they had faith. Unfortunately bad things will always happen, but the good will often out way the bad. Its important that we focus on the Lord, for he will deliver us from evil.
Have faith my brothers and sisters, things have a way of working out, you just don't realise it.
"When you do something right, no one even notices you've done it"
