Accepting God's Will


I used to want everything to go my way. I wanted everything to run according to my plan at my convenience. When things didn't go my way, I became angry at God.

Now I realize that my life is not about what I want...it is about what God wants.

God is not Santa Claus or a genie that grants us our wishes. He does not guarantee us everything we want nor does He guarantee us easy lives. God, however, guarantees us His presence...that He is always with us especially during our times of strife. With God in the center of our lives, everything will be alright.

I ask God why do bad things happen to good people? What did they do to deserve their sufferings? Only God knows this answer. We just have to trust in God to know that everything happens according to His will. We must accept His will in faith, knowing that it is for the better. The faithful may suffer today, but God promises the faithful Eternal Life where pain, sadness, and evil do not exist.

Each person is born into this world with a purpose. With God's blessing of our gifts and talents, every life has a meaning--to share God's gifts with others! As a Christian, I know my will is God's. Everyday I pray that I will have the strength and courage to do what He has planned for me. With my trust in God, I shall not be afraid.
