Life is life—life happens. Sometimes our lives are

Life is life—life happens.

December 26, 2024

Life is life—life happens. Sometimes our lives are good and wonderful, evolving just the way we want. Other times, life is so hard you wonder why your life is filled with so many tribulations that you wind up cursing your fate. There is no rhyme or reason why life is the way it is. Why bad things happen to us. We live in a world where good and bad things transpire, where life and death—health and illness—joy and sorrow occur. Romans 8:28 reads, “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” Sometimes it isn’t in the asking of “why” or complaining about how hard our life is. It is in the trusting of our LORD! The key is to trust, have confidence, belief or faith that God will see you through all situations and circumstances. God Bless. Amen.
