A bittersweet life with God

Life is hard. I know it can be really hard. I have lived 25 years on this earth and I can tell you that life is unfair, harsh, cruel…. And beautiful. In a way, life is bittersweet, beautiful, nostalgic, harsh, demanding, cruel, lovely, amazing, inspiring, etc. etc. Ultimately it is God who makes it beautiful. Let’s talk about some of the lessons that I’ve learned in life and why God has to do with all of this bittersweetness.

Let’s take a look a Job

            There was a man name Job in the bible and this man Job was perfect in all of his ways. The Lord was good to him. One day, Satan wanted to tempt Job because Job was good to God and God was good to Job and Satan said that the reason why Job was good to God was because God had blessed his hands. So, God allowed Satan to tempt Job with curses and horrible things.

            So, Satan killed his children, destroyed his houses, his cattle, took away everything that Job had.

            However, Job was relentless and would not give up on God because he said to his wife, “are we not like the heathen who curse God when something bad happens?” So, Job was faithful to God even when the worst of the worst was happening to him.

            Finally one day Job had enough with the curses and he demanded to God that God would respond to Job.

            So, God responded to Job and he started to take Job in a virtual tour of the universe. “God asked questions to job and he finally said, “If you are so perfect, then answer yourself the questions that you have for me?!”

            So, Job went down on his knees and he said, “forgive me Lord for I am nothing but a sinner.”

            So, the lesson here is that no matter how good we are, we will always be sinners and we cannot escape that fate.

            However, now as Christians, we have a hope in Jesus that we will one day live eternally through Jesus Christ.

A bittersweet life with God

            God is the good in the world. You have to remember that all throughout our troubles, it is God who has helped us out.

            Just recently, I’ll be honest here, I felt as if though my mother didn’t love me. I felt as if though she doesn’t care about me. So, I went to my friends and I asked them if they felt the same and sure enough they told me yes they felt the same.

            It’s not just them though, it’s not just me, it’s practically the whole world that feels this way. I got so angry at my mom and even though I’m angry at my mom for not loving me, it’s really no reason to not be Christian and doubt in God. God has gotten people through much more difficult situations and I know that he can get me through this one.

That’s not the only thing that’s bittersweet. I have been through so much that’s bittersweet that I thought that my life would just be like that forever. However, I know that God can and will make things better if I just listen to him.
