It all just feels so fake, ya know? This idea that good things happen to good people. That there's magic in the world, and that the meek and the righteous will inherit it. Too many good people suffer for that to be true. Too many prayers go unanswered. And every day it just gets worse. Every day we ignore how truly broken this world is, and we tell ourselves it's all going to be okay. But it's not going to be okay. And once you know that, there's no going back. There's no magic in the world...at least today there isn't and I just tell myself to be happy. But I don't feel happy. And when I try to change it, when I try to remember what being happy felt like, I can't. I don't feel joy. I don't feel inspired. I just feel numb. I feel like we've been left here on our own. Now, I realize no matter how hard I deny it there is a God here. Yet, it's like we walk alone. Maybe it's only me. Some can say I'm over reacting. That moving is not a big deal, and if I was dealing with just moving I'd agree. However, now all I can say is, you don't live my life. You don't know my past, what I've dealt with even this week a lone. No one does, except I suppose God. If you really knew whats happen, you wouldn't blame me for being mad. you wouldn't criticize me for questioning his love. Because, if you dealt with the crap Ive dealt with this past week, you be in the exact same boat. I know that God exists. I know he will never "give me more than I can handle." However, that's bull, i think he's given me to much and I'm honestly sick of it. I want magic back in my life. I want to feel happy. I want to see a light at the end of this tunnel.
I want to trust you know what you're doing God, but...I can't.

NEver ever does God say he wont give us more than we can handle. i also disagree with that.
ReplyDeleteThe truth is that he will never give us more than HE CANT HANDLE.
He wants you to be able to hand him your problems and the crap that is hitting you. Because he can handle it..you cant.
And also- life isnt suppose to always be happy. its not about magic in life and feeling happy.
IF you believe that Christianity is suppose to make the circumstances of life happy and blissful, then we have shown you false Christianity.
People in the bible had sucky lives. They were persecuted, tortured, and killed! i wouldnt call that magic in the world..i would call it good people suffering.
But eternally they will be rewarded! ANd that is the light at the end of the tunnel.
That no matter what happens to you in this lifetime..no matter how many times you get knocked down and crap happens to you...if you dont give up, even when it doesnt feel nice- you will be rewarded.
We weren't born into a world full of gumdrops and glitter...we were born into a world of sin. Satan and demons roam everywhere. It's not about looking at a garden of roses and picking out the thorns...it's about looking into a world of thorns and finding those few roses that keep us smiling.
ReplyDeleteIf everyone were expecting the bad and looking for the good instead of vice versa, then we'd all be in a better state of mind in our walk with Christ. We are sinful and sick, and we need help. The world is a sick place, but there are those roses in our lives that make it all worth every bit of it. If you lose those roses, you've got nothing but thorns left over.
I know a girl who lives in waterloo who has gone through some of the same things you have... I want you to meet her.
