Hello!
I haven't been writing for so long. I experienced lots of things since I had written the last time into this blog. I would like to share these things, because maybe God will use it in someone's life.
The first thing I would like to share is about accepting things God made in our life.
In our life, there are things which we don't like. Maybe, we would like to change these things.
Appearance, family/financial circumstances, an accident... And we try to go on and change these things. But sometimes we can't. What should we do? Be angry to God or to the world? Close our bedroom's door and cry alone through weeks? Don't deal with people, just watch films alone? - These things can be our answer to a problems which we see unsolvable. These things can be our next step, we can do them through a time but they aren't usable long-time solutions. We can't be always in our bedroom, or be always angry to everyone - it wouldn't be good.
So, what can we do? There's a verse in the Bible, which has been become very precious for me. It is: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose." (Rom 8:28) If we accepted Christ as our Saviour, we are God's child. God uses everything in His children's life for the good of them - whether a mistake, a problem, a disability or an accident...
It's like surfing. In this example, our problems/painful circumstances/disabilities/etc. are the waves, and we are the surfer.
We can just let the waves slap our faces and swallow lots of water - and don't do anything. But we can use our surfboard and try to get to the top of the water and enjoy surfing! Maybe it costs lots of tries, but if we don't give it up, we can get to the top of the waves!
In our life - we can just be sad because of the problems and bear our pains day-to-day.
But we can accept that God uses everything for our good, stand up and go on! I don't say that it's always surely easy. It can be hard to live with disabilities, even if we accepted God's want. It can be hard to face our problems, even if we accepted God's want. But He asks His help to go on.
- I will continue this issue.
