Why We Have Trials

Do you ever wonder why you have to be here on the earth? Why you have to go through what you're going through? Why this is all necessary.

Well I'm not an expert on the matter, but I've had experience in these areas. Life is hard sometimes. I think it's ridicules when people turn away from God when they're in a hard spot. God is trying to make us stronger.

You may be thinking this girl has no idea what she's talking about! She's never been this low. Guess what, I have and I know it isn't pretty.

Part of the time I didn't even know why I was so sad and depressed. But finally, right when I was about to trough it all away, a good friend helped me realize it isn't about me. When I stopped focusing on myself it made it that much easier.

God is trying to make you strong for what you have in the future. I know that doesn't make you feel any better about what you have to go through, but think how much God trusts you! God trusts you enough! God saved his strongest for this time, when it is the hardest. God has a mission for you that only you can do the very best. Others could fulfill your mission, yes, but they can't do it as well as you can.

God put you here for a reason, you may not see that reason, but one day, you'll look back on your life see this time and think, "wow, that was a blessing because it brought me to where I am today!" Encouraging thought huh.

But think,when you die and find yourself at the gates of heaven and you see God there is he going to say, "well done thou good and faithful servant!" or "why did you throw away the gift I gave you? I sent my son to die for you and you trough it all away,  you destroyed yourself." Makes you rethink your motives.

Promise me when I say it gets better, I've been there a few times and I know.I have friends who have gone through really hard things too, but they also can testify that it gets better. Please, don't throw your gift away. We need it in this world. You can make the world a better place. It may not seem like you can do a lot but it all adds up in the end.

Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you. -Deuteronomy 31:6
