Have you ever seen an injustice, or the worst, ever experienced it? Or have you ever felt like taking an action in whatsoever you have experienced or seen, or did nothing at all? Many times in our lives we felt unsatisfied with what's going on, in our family, in our community, in our church, in our workplace, in our country or to the whole world. Less that we care on what's really going with our lives. We even blame others and setting apart ourselves from the problem. But do we really know why such things happen and when we say, "it's unfair!"? Have we ever tried to do to make it fair?
Our life is like the pieces of a puzzle, like a pixel of an image, which totally constitute to the promise of a big picture or a clear image of an object when combined together. You've maybe suffered injustice, committed a crime, passing through a beggar, robbed of your cellphone, gossiped about, belong to a dysfunctional family, abused, put in shame, name it! Certainly, it wrecks your heart and maybe until now. The Bible says about them in Romans 8:28, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." There it goes! It works for our own good only if we love him (God) and we understand why we were created by him (purpose)! It is always a common belief that the ways of God is always good, however we missed out some words, it works for our own good! I don't mean to mislead you that the will of God is bad. It is always good! And its even beyond our own understanding! (Deut. 29:29). Everyone wants good things happen into his life. But life proves that it's not perfect, it's not always good, it's sometimes bad or worst. Our right relationship with God will help us see life in a different perspective. In fact, our spiritual maturity reflects in all aspects of our life. It shows how well do we know God when it comes to managing our finances, commitment, relationships with people, our integrity, resolving conflict, approaching problems and coping up with pain.
How do you respond? After all, it's your choice on how to deal with these sufferings in order to survive. Will you say I can't stand it anymore, God use me mightily for your name's glory. Will you come to the Lord deeply broken and in total surrender so he can reveal the wisdom behind your pain? Your decision is still your choice. Will you continue standing by, or can't you stand it anymore?
