why?
how many of us use the question why at a daily basis.
why am i going through this?
why this? or why that?
well God knows what he is doing but and i understand that 100%.
but why must we go through ups and downs?
why do i sometimes feel like if i'm all by myself? even though i know i am surrounded by people who love me and care for me.
when will all this end?

Re: why?
God will use all things to his purpose.
When we are at our lowest we are listening closer to what God is telling us.
Even Paul was afflicted with bodily pain, and suffered long in jail. Yet he knew God had a purpose for his pain and sorrow.
While we live here on this planet (controlled by the prince of evil) there will always be pain and sorrow. But eventually Jesus will deliver us from this.
Remember we are just visiting here, our true home is with Christ, and we long to be with him.

Peace, that brief period in history when everyone stops to reload.

Re: why?
i pray that that day comes, because sometimes i feel like just giving up. but i don't for a few reasons
1- i know that if i give up i will be leaving God behind and suffer dearly for it
2- i want to be an example to the people around me that no matter what God will continue being my God
3- will i praise him only in the good? by no means, we need to praise him in the good and in the bad
4- if i want my best friend and loved ones to stay strong in the Lord i have to be an example to them, especially my best friend he really looks up to me.
what kind of person will i be if i just let him down that way. but most of all i don't and won't give up for God. He has done so much for me.

Been there man, i was mad at God for a year but he was patient with me and he helped me sort things out thru the Holy Spirit and thru my wife and church friends.
I dont ask why now, i say theres a purpose for everything that happens.
God bless you

Re: why?
i myself try not to ask God why, because i know he knows what he is doing. it's just too much. and what makes it worse is that people don't understand and instead of helping out or at least try to, they start criticising.
today alone i've had people criticize me, and i for one am sick of it. i wish people will just stop doing that. if you see someone down pray for the person don't make things worse

Re: why?
Amen brother J! I know how you feel. You're right about the "why" question too. I always quench that with a "why not", which gives me peace! Praise the Lord!
Your'e gonna be alright, cuz greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world! You got the best on your side! The King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Which puts you way ahead already, before it all even starts, you're ahead!!

Re: why?
thank you so much, very touching words and it's the truth. i thank God that i found this board. i had been MIA for quite some time, but now i'm back and i thank God for it. i had been busy with my own board a my friends. but i's a lways a blessing to know there is still place i can turn to for words of encouragement. i can have that elsewhere as well but to come from fellow chrisitians who know what it is to please God and to go through similar battles means so much more

I will dance I will sing To be mad For my King Nothing Lord Is hindering This passion in my soul And I'll become Even more undignified than this Some may say It's foolishness But I'll become Even more undignified than this
