Why do Good People Face Bad Things?

First of all, it’s a myth. God is Just and He never makes mistakes while dealing with His children and treats all equally. But yes, this do happens that good people feel that they face a lot of bad things and struggle in their lives as compared to not so good people, who enjoy the mercy of good Lord. Let’s try to analyze why we feel that God is unjust sometimes and good people suffer more?

Here are few points to ponder upon and take a hint on God’s way of dealing with His children:

1.     As a class representative (CR/class monitor), you are chosen by your teacher because you possess better qualities and higher level of motivation than others. But, this does not mean that you don’t have to work hard to achieve more, and for that your teacher gives your more responsibilities & tasks to enhance your abilities and produce better results. As a CR you are given tasks that involve lots of efforts, brainstorming, management, effective decision-making skills, tact and techniques to work with others and for others, keeping in mind the best for all. So, ultimately you are tested on your skills, talents and decisions. This helps you to grow and experience things that none of your classmates would get a chance to, in the current class.

This is how God selects good people and challenges them to bring out their best and that’s why they stand apart glorifying God, radiating patience, love and kindness through God, even in their most difficult times. God selects good people not only because they can take care of themselves but also because they can take care of others and their instincts can help people rely on them.

2.     After God has selected you as His representative, He will make sure that you be an example of God’s work to the world. He will even challenge you with situations that could be devastating, with the reason of making you stronger than ever and letting the world know that good people can overcome any challenge in their lives with the help, love and guidance of God.

3.     During the struggle good people turn to God and God gives them refuge and reveals to them His will. Many a times these people grow weary & weak and they collapse, but every time this happens God picks them up, refuels them, and helps them to reach the ultimate goal. But still a lot of times good people could not take it forward and they break, but that does not mean that God will abandon them. He counts and considers each and every single effort of people who try and walk on the right path. So, he picks them up and takes them through himself. The only thing God desires from His children is faith, dedication and love for Him.

4.     God wants His children always by His side and when God analyses our persistence towards His love and His will; He feels happy and grants us the desires of our heart. But the only thing He expects from us is to never forget the learning and guidance from Him during the challenging times, and follow them throughout life, even when the time seems easy and more favorable.

God’s Best is Yet to Come

We go through countless challenging situations in life where we stumble, we fall, and we try to get back up, or sometimes lose to the situations or the inevitable. But actually we never lose anything, we surrender, and when we decide to surrender, we leave all to God which is not our defeat but a victory, because God never makes His children to lose. Surrendering to God after endless efforts and trials is a victory to be cherished and get excited about the result that God Himself is going to fetch for us, and that is what I always say to myself ‘God’s Best, yet to come’.

We try and try but we fail, why? Because God wants us to practice a lot of things that He wants us to learn and be prepared for, and when we still fail to reach, God wants to intervene to reach our reaching. Because He wants us to land safely to our goal, God will never abandon us during our journey of faith with Him. All we have to do is keep repeating and believing in our minds and hearts that God’s best is yet to come. We need to continue pushing ourselves every day to God’s best, and never get satisfied with this feeling. When we get something good we must plan to get better and ultimately God’s ways will take us to the best.

A long struggle of mind and body can make us grow weary and insufficient, but our ultimate goal of experiencing God’s best can spark a new life in our endeavors.

Trying these steps to achieve God’s best in your lives really helps:

  • Be confident about God’s presence in your life.
  • Know He is there with you.
  • Express your gratitude toward Him all the time, I mean ALL THE TIME!
  • Always believe in your actions, because they are also through the Lord Himself.
  • Believe and tell God that you have done all what you could do and surrender to Him.
  • Don’t seek revenge for your hurt, let God take the call. Believe, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord (Deuteronomy 32:35).
  • Pray and Pray and Pray for everything you are grateful for, and the things your are asking for.
  • Talk to Him often, pour out your heart to Him and seek His guidance in silence.

Keep your focus only on God’s Best!

‘I hold on to You Lord’

I was never so strong till You held my hand to say, “My child, I’m there for you & you will soar high on wings like eagles.”

I was never so patient till You whispered in my ear, “I am trying to bring My plan into your life, have faith my baby.”

I was never so compassionate till You made me see the miseries of others around me, far bigger than my problems.

I was never so focused till You showed me the path You have chosen for me and promised that You will walk with me forever.

I was never so comfortable till You lifted me up in Your arms, when I got tired of the trails and adversities.

I was never so positive till You showed me the opportunities hidden behind the challenges I face.

I was never so confident till You said, “I can open doors no man can shut.”

I was never so fearless till You made all Your promises come true in my life.

I was never at peace till You drew me close to Your breast and kissed my forehead to help me rely only on You, and nothing or no one else.

I was never so cheerful till You helped me find my happiness not in people or things, but in nature, You and my own inner world.

I never felt so beautiful till You expressed that being Your child, I am unique and beautiful at mind , body and heart.

I never felt that free-will of giving; reaching out to people; showering unconditional love on others & not to judge people, till You revealed its need in my own life.

And now, I hold on to You for every single thing in my life.

  • I hold on to Your Plans in My Life
  • I hold on to Your Will, Not Mine
