Doubts vs Hope

Lately the question has been in my head, Why do bad things happen to good people? And if I could give you a theological answer, I would tell you that there is no such thing that exists as a good person, for all have sinned.  But there are sometimes where you question certain things. Do you know every half hour some teenager committed suicide and in general, every 40 seconds someone attempts or commits suicide. This world, as you can see, is so broken and every where you look there is someone that is hurting.

In today's world, I think we are harder on ourselves then people are on us. We get so lost in the lies the devil tells us, that it's all our fault, we are not worth anything, and anything that he can tells us to pull us down he will. It's so easy to get lost in the sea of this world, that sometimes we just become so numb from everything that life has handed us.  When need to be aware of this for in 1 Peter 5:8 it says, "Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."

 When you look at the statistics above, you might think, well, Satan obviously winning! But you would be wrong because we need to remember that Jesus already defeated death. The battle is won through Him! He's always with us and it's never too late to run back in His arms! When you have these days of doubt just remember that you are worth more then you could ever know! You are royalty! The most beautiful thing, created in the image of the God who made the stars, the mountains, the oceans, the sunrises and  the sunsets!

He loves us!

I meant to post this earlier, but now is okay. We all recently just celebrated Easter, every Easter, I have a moment of just awe of how amazing Jesus really is! I still wondered how he could die for my sins and find me worthy enough to die for me, but not only that but to choose me and then use me to proclaim His name. I saw this video and i think it sums up just how great He is!

  Watching that video and then thinking that this king is my king leaves me in awe! But not only the He died the most humiliating, cruel death in all of history so that we could live and not only just live, but to live to the fullest! Thank you Jesus! You are so wonderful!

So every time your feeling down and ready to give up, remember there is someone that loves with a love with that can complete every person who accepts it! And He is the King of kings, the Lord of all lords! And He got whipped, spat on, his beard pulled out, and a crown seep into His skull for you!
