“Questioning Him”

By: Aaron G (View Profile)

I never have questioned God’s existence and I never will but sometimes I find myself questioning his ways. The bible tells us that we ought not do this but I feel that sometimes it just can’t be helped. At this point and time in my life I find myself questioning him more than ever. I’m not dying from an illness or anything like that it’s just that I am beginning to understand more as I grow in age. I have become very discouraged by things that are happening too, things that have happened to me, and things that have not happened that I want to happen to me. The things that I want to happen are supposed to happen because the bible said that they would, but nothing has happened. Why? The things that are happening to me and have happened to me are not supposed to happen because the bible said so. So why are they happening?

I consider myself to be an ordinary person. There are people who God has given extraordinary abilities. They are blessed with the talents to write or they are given athleticism or they are given brilliance or maybe they are given the ability to create and I envy those people because they will be recognized by the world. I envy those people because they will always have someone to help them in life. I envy these people because I am not one of them. While I am writing this I find myself coming to tears because the only thing running through my mind is: God, why can’t I be one of those people?

Aaron G. The bible saids that we are not suppose to question GOD in asking Him why did He make You the way that you are because He made you so special and significant their is no one else like You. You are not ordinary You are originary. You are the only One that has your finger prints, your personality, your identity. GOD made you in HIS image and HE is perfect, so I challenge You at this very moment too Thank HIM for making You too be one of a kind, an original not a carbon copy of any one else.

In the Bible it says that we are to be content with what God has given us. He is the potter we are the clay. I know God has a specific will for those who follow Jesus Christ as their saviour. Don't let the devil discourage you by whispering words of you aren't like this person or whatever lie he feels like telling you at that time. God says that he has formed us in our mothers womb.....the best advice is to seek the Kingdom of God and everything else will be added to you. That means lose yourself seek Jesus and then things will start to happen. :-)

I have found myself questioning my existence and my reason for being lately as you have. I have never questioned God's existence or my faith in Him but I have been questioning His purpose for me. I have gone to Him and cried and asked Him, "What do You want from me? Why are You rejecting me?" for that is what it feels like and God has answered me in so many different ways but the one I want to share with you is a quotation I got today. For me this spoke a thousand words and answered many questions. I hope it does the same for you. "Cast yourself in the arms of God and be very sure that if He wants anything of you, He will fit you for the work and give you strength." -St. Philip Neri

Great leaders start out as ordinary people. All of the unique talents and abilities have been put inside of you already. You must be patient and not rush. When the time is right your abilities will be revealed to you. It may be tomorrow or it could be a couple of years from now. Don't let this get you down. It is said that the longer it takes for your strength to be revealed the greater the reward. Whenever you are confronted with difficult situations these are experiences to help you grow. These experiences will prepare you for the journey that is intended for you. Everyone who has responded to your posting was brought to it for a reason. Read each post carefully because there is something that you are supposed to learn from each one. You can't move to the next lesson in life until you understand the current lesson. Things will be fine - I look forward to seeing "Aaron G" show his extraordinary abilities in the future.
