Amazing Grace

Some think when bad things that happen, God is not part of the equation or not listening or doesn’t care. Others may feel this way when God allows hardship to occur. Their contention is that he doesn’t or couldn’t exist while allowing such injustices

“A loving God would never allow that kind of thing to happen to innocent people,” they contort.

The misfortunes and inequalities of life sometimes shake their faith. That’s not a new attitude or philosophy. Perceptions of this kind have existed for centuries. People have resorted to these kinds of explanations and still do. Maybe you are among them.

If so, why not try a different philosophy for a moment?

In my humble opinion, when we have difficult obstacles to face in life, that's when God shows increased love and concern in extreme measure. It is then that his power is most evident. With God's help in our lives, we can accomplish anything we set out to do, despite our own fallacies or weaknesses.

At these times is when God is closest to us. He always wants to lift and strengthen us.

Perhaps this is one reason we can withstand our difficulties. We are never alone, and our strength increases with him. 

Miracles happen all about us.

There are a lot of challenges in life. It is no surprise that we struggle when pelted with maliciously intended messages to separate, divide and pull us apart. We must be vigilant as we connect, unite, and celebrate the gospel of Jesus Christ.

If we can take just a moment to see God’s hand in our lives, it changes everything! 

Part of that is connecting with our friends, family, and acquaintances. We help each other see clearly now and especially when we are overwhelmed with challenges. Together, we can face and overcome the obstacles that confront us in life. Uniting means working with each other to discover and craft solutions to life’s obstacles. Then, overcoming our challenges is not so bad, and we can truly celebrate life now.

“But that is a lot easier said than done,” you might be thinking.. 

It has been said that some people carry their religions, but others allow their religion to carry them. I am among the latter. .

“Why?” you may ask. That is the topic I am addressing today.

Sometimes life throws curve balls your way. Everyone knows that. We have all experienced these occasions.

The gospel of Jesus Christ helps one through these hard times of course. But it also helps us get through our regular days and gives us hope and confidence when times are good. 

And there are plenty of those occasions as well. 

The point is that whatever state you find yourself and despite the myriad of challenges in your life .. or not, the truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ can help. 

That’s the simplicity of the situation.

The gospel of Jesus Christ improves us all.

And that is just the beginning of the amazing grace of Jesus Christ.
