I keep hearing a certain comment from people. It goes something like "thank God, my test came back okay. He is so good." And this comes from well meaning Christians. And believe me, I am happy for you, that you are healthy. But I have a question, would you still say He is good if the test came back bad? This is a reality I have had to face. I have prayed. I have believed. And yet, I keep get sicker. Has God abandoned me? Quite contrary. We are told in the scripture that we WILL have tribulations in this world. Now, the tribulation for each person is different. We all have our struggles. But there is an amazing promise in that scripture. He has overcome the world! You see, no matter how bad thing happen to look, we can have peace and joy. Even in the midst of pain and uncertainty. Now, It isn't always easy. But it is possible.
For the new year, I want to learn to give my worries to God more. Taking that step, will not only being me closer to Christ, but bring more peace and joy into my life. And that is how He can use me. If I submit to Him, even when I really don't understand why, or how or anything else about my situation. He knows my future. So if I will just follow Him, He will be faithful. Sometimes, His ways don't always make sense. But you know, I am not God. I don't see the big picture. I believe God will use my life, even with all the trials for His glory. As long as I follow His ways, no matter what the diagnosis. :D
