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!
