Why do bad things happen to good people?

This is a question I have heard from many people recently, whilst loved ones are going through a painfully difficult time, whilst there is loss of beautiful individuals and everything is overcast by a negative haze. It is so easy to turn the blame on God when the road becomes rocky but that is really not the way forward. 

On this earth we are blessed with the ability to make choices... 

We have power! we are blessed to recurve such a gift, but unfortunately power can be misused, making the lives of other miserable. People can choose that their life is no longer, people can choose to sabotage the lives of others...Making everybody miserable. Instead of praying for these individuals we often become angry, dissapointed and upset; resenting them for their behaviour. 

We may turn the blame onto God, deciding he isn't as powerful as we first though and rebel against him out of pure hurt or frustration. 

Instead of doing this we could try and better the situation! Pray, Worship, Read, Thank...it really is my answer to everything. 

Pray to God for the people in your life causing upset. They can't be happy people. Talk to God and put your faith in him, he can help you so much more if you have faith in him and soften your heart towards him. Praying is such a good way to open the doors of conversation with God.  

Worship and spend time with people who do great you well, worshiping The Lord! Remember to recharge those faith batteries. Read and take comfort from the Bible and Thank God for giving you the power to battle through despite difficult circumstances. 

When you feel like pushing God away is often when you need him most. 

Everyone will face judgement and you will feel the rewards. But until then we must be like Jesus and forgive people for their sin. Forgive and pray that they will see their wrong doing. Instead of being angry, feel sorry for them. 

So why do bad things happen to good people? 

•Because we have the ability to make choices. 

God ultimately is there to pick up the pieces from out wrong doings. We make mistakes as no human is perfect! But they are forgiven by our Saviour. The best thing we can do is be Christ like and try to forgive too. 

By sharing Gods word and transforming lives we can bit by but turn a world full of sin into a world focused on God, 

Amen :)
